Frequently Asked Questions

What will heaven be like?

Revelation 21-22 gives glimpses: no more death, tears, pain, or sorrow. God dwelling with His people. A new heaven and new earth. Streets of gold, gates of pearl — these may be literal or symbolic of a beauty beyond description. The best part: eternal, unhindered fellowship with God.

Will we recognize each other in heaven?

Scripture strongly suggests yes. The disciples recognized Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration (Matthew 17:3). Paul expected to know the Thessalonians in heaven (1 Thessalonians 2:19). Heaven perfects relationships rather than erasing them.
