God tells us that we can only imagine what heaven will be like.

• But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

And our imagination will fall way short of the reality of its glory. And of the glory of our God! Yet, God has provided many clues and descriptions of what Heaven and our eternal life with Him will look like. The most detailed description of Heaven is found in the Book of Revelation.

Description of Heaven in Revelation

The Bible gives us John’s vision of Heaven in the book of Revelation. John describes Heaven as a beautiful place that is holy, with no imperfections of any kind. The book of Revelation says,

• And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 21:27

Bible Verses About Heaven as a Place of Great Beauty

Revelation 21:4 tells us,

• And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And wonder of wonders, when this life ends, we will be invited in! To dwell with our God…forever!

Bible Verses About the Physical Things in Heaven

The Bible says that there will be physical things in heaven such as a new Earth that is free from any imperfections. (Revelation 21:1-2)

The Bible says that we will have bodies in Heaven.

2 Corinthians 5:1 says,

• For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

And these bodies will be perfect, whole, like unto Christ’s own glorified body!

• Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Philippians 3:21

Our heavenly bodies will be like Jesus’ body that the apostles and disciples saw and touched after His resurrection.

There will be clothes for us in Heaven, as well!

• After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; – Revelation 7:9

There is a river, and trees with fruit, a street, and God’s throne.

Bible Verses About Who Will Be in Heaven

The Bible says that there will be saints (us!) in heaven.

• And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Revelation 7:9-10

Heaven will be filled with a great multitude of those people who have been redeemed by Christ…whose names are in the Book of Life.

The Bible says that there is also an “innumerable company of angels” in heaven.

• But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, – Hebrews 12:22

And we will all serve God together. How amazing to think of serving God in Heaven together with the angels of God!

Isn’t it such a comforting thought to know that we will live forever with our loving Savior and His people in a place that is free from sin, perfect in every way, and where the fire of God’s love melts away all our sorrows?

Are you ready? Will Heaven be your forever home?

Then live every day in love and service to God and others, praising Him for His wonderful promise of Heaven to come! And keep…

Drawing nigh to Him,
