|                                                                  |
|                          What is Heaven?                         |
|                                                                  |
|  Jesus Christ said that there are two roads in life--a broad     |
|  one that leads to destruction (hell) and a narrow road that     |
|  leads to life (heaven) (Matthew 7:13-14). For those who travel  |
|  the narrow road, by the power of the Holy Spirit and through    |
|  faith in Christ, yours is the Kingdom of Heaven.                |
|                                                                  |
|  The Bible reveals the location of heaven as the uppermost of    |
|  three heavens (2 Corinthians 12:1-10).  The first heaven is     |
|  our atmosphere, the second is outer space, and the third is     |
|  the real place of eternal bliss where God has His throne.       |
|                                                                  |
|  In heaven, the inhabitants will be like little children, that   |
|  is, trusting, dependent, innocent and loving (Matthew 18:3).    |
|  It is a place where, "people will neither marry nor be given    |
|  in marriage" (Matthew 22:30).  In heaven,  "There will be no    |
|  more death or mourning or crying or pain" (Revelation 21:4).    |
|  Heaven has a Holy City called Jerusalem that is 1400 miles      |
|  long, 1400 miles wide, and 1400 miles in height! (Revelation    |
|  21:10,16).  The walls are as clear as crystal and the street    |
|  is made of pure gold, like transparent glass (Rev 21:18,21).    |
|                                                                  | 
|  Heaven is free but it is not cheap.  Jesus yielded his life to  |
|  the cross to open heaven's gates.  We must yield the control    |
|  of our lives to Jesus in order to walk through those gates.     |
|                                                                  |
