Where is Heaven?
Heaven is a place. It is not a state of mind.
•It is not the sky. (Matt. 6:26)
•It is not the stars. (Matt. 24:29)
•It is sometimes called the third heaven or paradise, (2 Cor. 12:2,4)

Who is in Heaven?
•God the Father (Genesis. 5:24; Matt. 6:9)
•Jesus, The Son of God. (John 14:2-3; 20:17; Acts 1:11; Hebrews 1:3)
•Angels are in heaven. (Isaiah 6:3; Matt. 18:10; Mark 13:32)
•Those who have passed from this life, and who, during their earthly life have accepted God’s gift of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. (John 3:16)

Our transition from this life to live in heaven happens seamlessly, instantly,, by virtue of our clear declaration that we have placed our faith in Jesus Christ.
•The word “sleep” is often used to describe this transition.
•Gen. 25:8 – Abraham; Luke 23:43 (Jesus & thief)
•2 Corinthians 5:1-9; “longing for a heavenly body”
•Philippians 1:21 – “to die is gain”

What will we do in Heaven?
(Revelation 6:9-11)
This list should help us to be unafraid about making the transition. It should also provide some comfort and encouragement when we consider the lives of our loved ones, who, on the basis of their professed faith in Jesus Christ, have gone before us and await us.
