would be God Himself.‖ How beautiful it is to know that Christ will be everything we will ever<br />
need or want in heaven, He will truly be our fulfillment.<br />
Conclusions:<br />
As it has been explained earlier, our living in heaven will be totally <strong>the</strong> opposite <strong>of</strong> our life<br />
here on earth. It will be a life full <strong>of</strong> peace, love, light, and many o<strong>the</strong>r blessings. Most <strong>of</strong> all<br />
nothing will separate us from <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> God, and Satan will have no existence. So our<br />
goals in life should be heavenly ones or ones that will prepare us for eternal life. God said,<br />
―Seek first <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> God and His righteousness and all <strong>the</strong>se things shall be added unto<br />
you‖ (Mat<strong>the</strong>w 6:33), meaning that if we focus on preparing ourselves to living in heaven, God<br />
will automatically fulfill our earthly needs. Preparing for our life in heaven means for example,<br />
that if we know that we will live in unity with <strong>the</strong> believers in heaven, <strong>the</strong>n we need to make<br />
peace with <strong>the</strong>m on earth and learn to forgive each o<strong>the</strong>r. Also, if we do not know how to praise<br />
or appreciate worshipping <strong>the</strong> Lord, <strong>the</strong>n how will we join <strong>the</strong> angels in heaven?! Finally, if we<br />
are used to pr<strong>of</strong>anity here on earth, how will you use that same language in heaven?! The moral<br />
<strong>of</strong> this lesson is that we learn about living in heaven so that we would prepare ourselves to fit<br />
heaven‘s environment.<br />
Applications:<br />
Read <strong>the</strong> book <strong>of</strong> Revelation to learn more about <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> this world and <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong><br />
living in heaven.<br />
Focus on your heavenly life versus your limited life here on earth.<br />
Pray that <strong>the</strong> Lord may count you among those who will enjoy living in <strong>the</strong> heavenly<br />
Promised Land.<br />
