Heavenly Life of Love, The

1. DOESN'T THIS LOOK LIKE A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE? The women are all beautiful, the men are all handsome, the children are all sweet & loving‚ & everyone is so happy! If you've noticed the halos over everyone's heads, you've probably already guessed where this beautiful place is.—Heaven!

2. YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO HEAVEN, HEAVEN IS COMING TO US! Heaven is not just an imaginary dreamland way off in Outer Space somewhere, but the Bible tells us that it is an amazing Dream City that's going to come down from God‚ out of Space, to land on this Earth! (Rev.21:1-3)

3. IN MANY WAYS‚ THE HEAVENLY LIFE WE'LL LIVE THERE WILL BE A LOT LIKE THE LIVES WE LIVE HERE NOW!—Only then, everything will be much more beautiful & perfect, supernatural & miraculous! But still, it's enough like this life that we'll be able to understand it & feel comfortable & at home there!

4. THE GIRLS THERE WILL STILL ENJOY LOOKING PRETTY, like the lovely girl here brushing her hair. Those who loved music in this life will still love music—playing it‚ writing it, listening to it & even dancing to it like the happy folks you see in this picture. And of course, the children there will still enjoy being children, playing, laughing & learning about the wonders of life & God's creation, like these little ones watching their fish & reading & learning about the different animals God has made!

5. WE WILL ALL BE MUCH THE SAME AS WE ARE NOW, except for one big difference: We're going to have new‚ supernatural‚ resurrection bodies, just like Jesus' body was when He rose from the grave! But you're still going to be you, & your friends & loved ones are still going to be able to recognise you!—Unless, of course, you happened to die at a very young age, in which case you'll continue to grow up & mature. Or if you died at a very old age, your youth will be restored & you'll be strong & beautiful again!

6. IN MANY WAYS OUR NEW HEAVENLY BODIES WILL BE A LOT LIKE THOSE WE HAVE NOW, as was Jesus', Who ate & drank with His disciples & even cooked for them, after He was resurrected! (Lk.24:36-43; Jn.21:9-13) So in our new bodies we'll still be able to eat & drink & be merry, make love & enjoy all the wonderful God-created pleasures of this present life! But then we'll be able to enjoy all of these things to the full!—Even more than we do now!

7. OF COURSE IN SOME WAYS OUR NEW BODIES WILL BE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN OUR PRESENT EARTHLY MODELS. When Jesus rose from the dead, He was able to appear or disappear, walk right through solid walls, & even fly from one place to another with the speed of thought! (Lk.24:31,51; Jn.20:19,26)—And we who live in the Heavenly City will be able to do the same!—Just like that couple that's flying off the balcony to their own mansion, returning home after an enjoyable visit with their friends!

8. THE HOUSING WITHIN THE HEAVENLY CITY WILL BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANY YOU'VE EVER SEEN! The entire City is made of an amazing kind of "pure gold that is clear as glass"! (Rev.21:18) The flower-filled living room of this Heavenly mansion & the view of the neighbours' balcony in the background can perhaps give you some idea of just how beautiful these Heavenly homes are!

9. JESUS SAID, "IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS! I go to prepare a place for you‚ that where I am, there you may be also!" (Jn.14:2,3) Just think, Jesus Himself is preparing such crystal-gold mansions for all of His saved children!—Where you & all of your friends & family & loves & loved ones can live & love & enjoy Heaven forever!

10. THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR BILLIONS OF US IN THAT HEAVENLY CITY, because it is a gigantic 1500 miles long, 1500 miles wide & 1500 miles high! (Rev.21:16) The base of the City will rest on the Earth, which will have a completely renewed & recreated surface, a beautiful "New Earth", like the Garden of Eden! The Curse that came upon man & the Earth after man fell into sin will be completely removed, & all of the cursed & poisonous pests & plants shall be no more!

11. FROM THE BALCONY OF THIS MANSION & THROUGH ITS CLEAR–AS-GLASS GOLDEN WALLS YOU CAN VIEW THE BEAUTIFUL NEW EARTH BELOW! The Bible says there will be whole nations of resurrected people living there, folks who don't yet live in the City because they didn't receive God's Son, Jesus—perhaps because they never heard or understood the Gospel. So here on the New Earth they will learn to know & love Him at last, being helped & taught by the supernatural Saints from the City who will minister to them. (Rev.21:24-26; 22:2)

12. ON THIS HEAVENLY NEW EARTH, THE BIBLE SAYS THERE WILL BE "NO MORE SEA" (Rev.21:1), which means there will be five times as much land for all of the World's billions of unsaved resurrected people to live on & enjoy!—A beautiful Paradise of rolling landscape, lakes & streams‚ fields & forests, completely free from any of man's filthy cities, factories, chemical plants, weapons or pollution‚ thank God!

13. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN THAT WONDERFUL HEAVENLY CITY?—To be one of the saved, who will have a wonderful super-body to enjoy for all Eternity?—As well as have a mansion reserved there in your name? Well, you can! You can have all of this, plus a real taste & sample of Heaven in your own life right now, if you'll just receive Jesus into your heart!

14. JESUS LOVES YOU & WILL COME INTO YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW IF YOU'LL SIMPLY PRAY: "Lord Jesus‚ I believe that You are the Son of God & that You died for me. Please forgive me for all my sins. I now open the door of my heart & I ask You, Jesus, to please come in & give me Your free Gift of Eternal Life. Help me to love You & to love others by telling them about You & Your Love. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
