Welcome to Apologetics with Carl Kerby!
Today, we’re talking about Heaven.
Paul, John, and Jesus Christ Himself all refer to Heaven as PARADISE!
And Scripture gives us a sneak peek as to what this paradise will be like. The New Jerusalem of Revelation is described as a city made of pure gold, laid with foundations of every type of jewel imaginable, like jasper, amethyst, and onyx. Each city gate is made up of one gigantic pearl, and the city’s streets are made of transparent gold. A beautiful River of Life will flow from God’s own throne through this city, and a Tree of Life will produce twelve kinds of fruit throughout the year for believers to enjoy.
That sounds like an awesome place to be!
As 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.” (KJV)
What else does the Bible say about Heaven? We’ll discuss that another time.
