* What it will be like in heaven. What Bible shows us.

In heaven, we will not have these current physical bodies.  God will give us a new body as it pleases HIM.  (I Cor. 15)

In heaven:  there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  (Rev. 21:4)

The reason we have physical pain today is because we live inside these physical bodies.  Also we have emotions of the flesh because we live today inside these physical bodies.

Before we are taken into heaven, we will be changed out of these physical bodies.

I Cor. 15:51-52   Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Blink!  That is how fast we will be changed before we are taken into heaven.

Another thing about heaven:  We will not remember this earth.

Isaiah 65:17   For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

We will have new spiritual bodies and our family in heaven will be all in heaven for all who are in heaven will be the children of God, the righteous of God.

God and the Word (Jesus) will be our focus and our light.

The new Jerusalem, the new heaven:

Revelation 21

1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

This present heaven and earth will be destroyed by God after the great tribulation:

II Peter 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

There is no physical marriage as we know it today, in heaven.

So if a man has multiple wives, which will be his wife?  said the Sadducees to Jesus.

Mark 12:24-25   Jesus says:   Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

(I find many Christians do not know the above truth.  

On this present earth, if your mate dies, you can marry again (but only in the Lord).  I Cor. 7 ... Paul says this to the women but I think the same would apply to a man who is a Christian, for why would any real Christian want to marry an infidel?

***

Remember in heaven we will not have these physical bodies as on earth.
