SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN TO ME

I am beginning to wonder if this world that God created was created to be permanent.  Nothing or no one that makes up this world is permanent so maybe permanence wasn’t in God’s intention in the beginning.

The Scriptures tell me that this world will pass away and God will be doing a “new thing”.  Maybe that is what the whole “last days, end times” discussion is all about.  Human beings like to put themselves in the equation for all that happens or matters in the world.  Then they have someone to blame and then battle with.  But maybe the world was just going to eventually wear out all on its own as all other created things do.  So God’s plan from the beginning was to provide a way for people who love God and want to continue being with Him would be able to do just that. (I am simply day dreaming here, not making new doctrine).

I like the new thing that God will be doing. (Revelation 21) First of all He will be dwelling with us and will be our God; a firsthand experience not requiring faith.  There will be no new doctrine or theology required; just being there with Him.  There will be no pain, no suffering, no sadness; all we hunger and thirst for will be given to us freely.  There will be no tree of knowledge of good and evil, only the tree of life.  And most delightful to think about, we will worship Him, not out of duty or law, but totally out of devotion and love.  This will be eternal, forever and ever…Sounds like heaven to me.
