Will There Be Joy in Heaven?

Luke 15:7 

I say unto you that joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents on earth. 

Isaiah 25:4, 8

God will wipe away all tears from their eyes, no more sorrow, crying or death. 

There is no darkness or night in heaven; 

Revelation 22:5 

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. 

God is Light and in Him is no darkness. Jesus is the Light of the world. The Glory of the Lord will light up heaven.

What Does the Bible Say About Heaven? 

People wonder what heaven is like and they ask if there will be streets of gold or pearly gates there. They wonder if we will be able to recognize one another. They ask if babies will be there. Heaven is a very real and wonderful place and those who believe and know Jesus Christ personally will be there. 

Luke 10:20 

Rejoice because your names are written in heaven. 

John 11:25, 26

Whoever believes in Me shall never die. Christ is the resurrection and the life. 

John 14:1-6

Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In My Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto Myself that where I am there you shall  be also. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but through me."

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Jesus did not want to leave His followers alone so He sent His Holy Spirit to be with them after He went to heaven. 

John 14:16-17

Jesus said, I pray the Father and He will give you another Comforter that He may abide with you forever--even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it sees Him not, neither knows Him, but you know Him for He dwells with you and shall be in you. 

Those who personally receive Christ into their hearts receive the Holy Spirit and those who reject him do not have His Spirit. 

John 14:26

But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled nor afraid. 

The Holy Spirit will comfort you so that you never need to feel lost or lonely. The Holy Spirit will give you strength and joy and wisdom and He will guide you each day as you talk to Him personally. 

Luke 12:12 

The Holy Spirit will teach you and help you to speak. 

Acts 16:6 

The Holy Ghost warned the disciples not to go to Asia. 

Romans 8:13 

For as many as are led by the Spirit are the sons of God. 

1 John 4:13

We know that we dwell in Him and He in us because He has given us His Spirit. 

Angels Singing

An excerpt from my book entitled, Poems From the Heart.

I hear the chorus of angels singing;
In my ears their sweet voices ringing. 

I see the white clouds and blue sky above, 
And wonder of Holy Spirit like a dove

Upon my Saviour, Jesus, descending
To earth, God all powerful sending, 

His power, strength and peace so fills us
And abiding in us so we stand for what is just. 

Rise up and step out and like Christ be, 
And listen and open your eyes to see. 

Speak his words of light and truth, 
So hatred and bitterness cannot take root.

Is Jesus God?

John 21:27-29

Thomas touched Jesus' nail-print hands after Jesus came back to life and then in amazement Thomas said to Jesus, "My Lord and My God."

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child (Jesus) is born and unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulder and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.

In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word (Jesus) was with God and the Word (Jesus) was God. Verse 4: All things were made by Him

Put Christ first in your life and home and love and worship Him.
