WHAT WILL YOU DO FOREVER IN HEAVEN?
You will explore and enjoy the new heaven and new earth.
After death, there is an immediate conscious existence in both the intermediate present heaven and hell (2 Corinthians 5:8; Revelation 6:9-11; Philippians 1:23). If you are a Christian, you will worship and thank God for creating you and his entire creation. You will help God run and rule the universe with Jesus (Luke 19:11-27; Revelation 22:5). After Jesus returns, God will glorify, renew, and transform your mind and body so that you are a whole and spiritually perfect person that is full of energy and vision, ready and eager undertake and complete new projects for God’s glory and your enrichment.
You will explore and enjoy the new heaven and new earth. You will eagerly work and serve as God’s servants without any toil or difficulty because God will lift the curse of sin forever (Revelation 22:3). You will exercise leadership and authority, make important decisions, set goals, devise plans, share ideas, follow those that God has assigned to lead you, and lead and delegate responsibilities to those God has assigned you to lead (Luke 19:17-19). You will rest just as God rests (Hebrews 4:10-11; Revelation (14:13). Randy Alcorn, Heaven: Biblical Answers to Common Questions booklet (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House, 2004), 17.
