Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches that heaven is a place where God dwells, and it is frequently called heaven in Scripture. The Lord says, Heaven is my throne (Isa. 66:1), and Jesus refers to heaven as the place where God's will is done (Matt. 6:10). Heaven is not primarily a place, but a shorthand term for the presence and glory of God. It is the place where God's people will live with Him forever, and it is characterized by the removal of all evils. In heaven, God will wipe every tear from His people's eyes, and there will be no more death, mourning, or crying (Rev. 21:4).

The Bible describes heaven as a place of rest, worship, and service. The activity of heaven is described as the throne of God and of the Lamb, where His servants will serve Him (Rev. 22:3). Heaven is also described as a place where God's people will reign with Christ (2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 2:26,27;3:21). The Bible teaches that heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people, with a program suited to both. In heaven, God's people will live with Him forever, and they will be like Him (1 John 3:2).

The Bible also teaches that heaven will be a place of new creation, where God will create a new heaven and a new earth. In this new creation, God's people will live with Him forever, and they will be free from all evils. The Bible promises that in heaven, there will be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it (Rev. 22:3). Heaven is the confirmation of our choice, to love God and to be with Him. It is the hope of everyone who is a follower of Jesus Christ, whom to know is life eternal. Heaven is being in perfect, happy, everlasting relationship with God and with each other.
