      Is Heaven Real? - Zondervan

      Introduction

      Heaven? Is it a real place? Do those who die truly go there?

      To many people — those certain as well as those uncertain of their faith — heaven can seem to be a long way off, to the point where there is nothing real about it.

      But be assured, heaven is real! It’s promised to those who believe in Jesus Christ! And it’s going to be glorious!

      The reality of heaven gives

           Comfort to the dying,

                Hope to the suffering,

                     And confidence of a life beyond

                          the grave.

      God’s Word promises a place of

           no suffering,

                no tears,

                     no crying,

                          no dying.

      That’s what won’t be there. God’s Word also tells us what will be there:

           Jesus, the light of the world

                and the light of heaven.

                     Your loved ones who died

                          believing in Jesus.

                               Multitudes, singing and

                                    praising God.

                                         A blissful eternity.

      If you believe in Jesus as your Savior, you get to go there when you die. All the amazing promises of Scripture about heaven will be yours. If you’re uncertain of your faith, turn to page 73 in this book to learn how to be sure and to reserve your spot in that magnificent place. You can be guaranteed that your death will not be the end.

      Far from it!

      Death is only a doorway,

           a split-second leap from this reality

                to the next,

                     to a place that’s as real

                          as the ground

                               you’re standing on right now.

      When you open the pages of this little book, you’ll be opening the door to a glimpse of heaven through the eyes of the writers of Scripture and the writers of wise words throughout the centuries.

      Enjoy the ride … from here to eternity.

      Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,

      and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

      PSALM 23:6

      Is Heaven Real?

      I know that my redeemer lives,

      and that in the end he will stand

      on the earth.

      And after my skin has been destroyed,

      yet in my flesh I will see God;

      I myself will see him

      with my own eyes—I, and not

      another.

      How my heart yearns within me!

      JOB 19:25 – 27

      Speculations? I know nothing about speculations. I’m resting on certainties. I know that my Redeemer lives, and because He lives, I shall live also.

      MICHAEL FARADAY, English physicist,

      1791 – 1867

      We need to stop acting as if Heaven were a myth, an impossible dream, a relentlessly dull meeting, or an unimportant distraction from real life. We need to see Heaven for what it is: the realm we’re made for.

      RANDY ALCORN

      O sweet and blessed country, the home of God’s elect!

      O sweet and blessed country, that eager hearts expect!

      Jesus, in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest,

      Who art, with God
