Over the past several weeks, I have shared with you a list of some of God’s amazing blessings. I talked about God’s ‘image’ blessings, His ‘family’ blessings, and His ‘servant’ blessings. However, God does not just provide for and bless us here and now; He is preparing a place for us in Heaven. Once again, I cannot take credit for this list, but I was asked not to give credit to the person who shared this list with me.
- We will be going home
This earth is not our home; we are merely stopping by on our way to our eternal home. As a Christian, I have a place reserved for me in Heaven.
- We will have bodies like Christ’s body
We are living in an imperfect world, so we have imperfect bodies; but when we reach Heaven, we will receive bodies with no limitations and no decay.
- We will live in perfection
When sin entered the world, death and pain made their grand entrance; but there will be none of that in Heaven. God rules in Heaven, so nothing less than perfection should be expected from Him.
- We will rule the universe with Christ
I mentioned in a previous blog post that we are co-heirs with Christ our brother, so we will have the privilege of ruling all His dominion with Him.
- We will be married to Christ
The church is called the bride of Christ, and in the Bible, Christ coming back for His church is likened to a groom coming for His bride.
- We will be God’s treasured possession
I also mentioned several times in a previous blog post that we are grafted in to the family of God; even so, we are not loved any less than His chosen people. He loves us like a father loves his children.
- We will have unspeakable joy
I have a pretty good imagination, but even in my wildest dreams, I could not even begin to imagine the joy that will be ours when we reach our eternal home. We live in a world with limitations, but we serve a God who is infinite in every way.
