Pleasures Forevermore!
As it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of man the things
which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
An often-seen caricature of heaven involves pudgy-looking
residents dressed in white robes, halos and wings floating
about on clouds playing golden
harps. Imagine doing that
all day for all eternity! Could anything be more boring? No
wonder the world, and many Christians, imagine heaven
to be a boring place.
Such images have no bearing on biblical reality, of course.
Is God’s creation a boring place? No—therefore, the
new
heavens and new earth will not be boring either. Do you
think a day spent in the presence of Jesus Christ when
He was on earth to be boring?
No—therefore, time spent in His eternal Kingdom will
not be boring either. If the
image of the New Jerusalem
in Revelation 21 is indication, eternity will consist of
“pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).
Apostle Paul quoted the Old Testament when
he said that we can’t imagine the things God
has prepared for those
destined for heaven
(1 Corinthians 2:9).
Prepare now to use your gifts and abilities
in ways never
imagined as you serve and
enjoy God forever.
"There is never a
panic in heaven."
W. Ian Thomas
