Pray (ACts) 


Read (Hebrews 11v16) 


Message (Scott Woodburn) 


As we think about Heaven we can sometimes think about eternity floating about on clouds and doing very little. That might not sound very appealing but I’m glad to say that Heaven will be much more different than our common misconception. So what will the new heavens and earth be like?


Eternal life will be spent in new raised physical bodies and we will dwell on the raised earth forever. Heaven will therefore be similar to what we currently experience only much much better. There will be no sin in Heaven and nothing that currently troubles us. Instead we will have an eternity to live, work, sing, run, climb and explore this entire universe.


If you have ever found this earth breathtaking then imagine the new earth. Imagine the beauty that will exist for you to enjoy. Imagine running with horses and not getting tired, imagine climbing the highest mountain without fear, imagine feasting with the Saints of God, imagine being able to explore the universe standing upon Mars and being amazed by new worlds, imagine building great cities and structures, and then imagine seeing Jesus every single day. My words don’t do it justice but Heaven will be yours to enjoy forever. You will work without tiredness or frustration, you will rejoice without fear of loss and you will do everything to the glory of Jesus without any hint of sin which tarnishes everything in this present age.


Scripture only gives hints at what is to be expected when Christ returns and His creation is restored but I’m sure of this - whatever my finite mind images about heaven absolutely falls short of the reality. I suspect our daily existence in Heaven will see us constantly amazed, constantly awestruck, constantly delighted and constantly joyous. It will be familiar and yet as far from this current reality that we can possibly imagine.

Q91 How do the Sacraments become effectual means of salvation? The Sacraments become effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue in them, or in him that doth administer them; but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of his Spirit in them that by faith receive them.
