WILL HEAVEN BE BORING?

WILL HEAVEN BE BORING?

Many people think heaven will be boring.
Some people picture the eternal heaven as floating on clouds with angels that play the harp while we attend an eternal boring church service. But when you understand the meaning of your bodily resurrection and the new heaven and new earth, all thought of boredom will vanish. In the new heaven and new earth, you will be constantly discovering new things about the infinite God and the new heaven and new earth. All of your questions before you died will be answered. At the same time, heaven will be a place where you are fully at home. Everything will be as it ought to be. You will no longer be homesick for heaven. You will experience all that God intended for you.

God and heaven will be endlessly and infinitely fascinating as the joys of heaven overflow from the many attributes and wonders of God. Accordingly, you will never tire of praising, worshiping, and loving God, as God loves you for eternity (Revelation 5:11-14, 7:9-12, 21:3). Also, your relationship with others in heaven will be enhanced exponentially, because their will be no jealousy, selfishness, arrogance, anger, or gossip.
