Being with Jesus,
Windows into Heaven,
Heaven. What’s it going to be like?,
and Heaven is where earth is behind us
“We stand here on earth, and the Bible gives us little windows to see beyond – into heaven…. See it from Bible windows, the perspective of what He told us it is going to be like for those who follow Him“.

Heaven is where I am totally without sin whatsoever: perfect. What a place that will be. And it will never end.
My sins are …as if they had never been done. They are so far removed that …they no longer exist. God does not count them against me. In His legal heavenly court – they have been removed, blotted-out, and I stand before Him “just as if I had never sinned”. – Source: Peaceful easy feeling
“As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions
from us.”
– Psalm 103:12

Heaven is The No Sin Place
There in Heaven we will have no more need for justification – because there: sin is a thing of the past. No need for forgiveness in Heaven. We have already been justified while on earth.
Hell has no bliss. Hell has no good of any kind.
To get us to Heaven, God has “perfected for all time” (past tense) those who have been born again here on earth. This is said in Hebrews 10:14-17…
14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are [g]sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws upon their heart,
And on their mind I will write them,”
“He then says,
17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more.”
– Hebrews 10: verses 14-17
That is justification. He has justified me! I have been sanctified in Jesus. THAT is how great Creator God is.
FOR MORE:
Bliss is perfection. And bliss is what being with God will be like in Heaven.

Heaven is going to be like this…what it will be like in Heaven
Windows into Heaven Excerpt: We stand here on earth, and the Bible gives us little windows to see beyond – into heaven. Jesus taught that there is a physical place called “heaven”, or “paradise”. It is actually way beyond what we know as “physical”. Imagine heaven. See it from Bible windows, the perspective of what He told us it is going to be like for those who follow Him:….
Heaven is where earth is behind us
Following…”for those who follow Him”
Following Someone Excerpt: Imagine the pain. How important to “be on the same page with” God. There is no other page! We are His creation, so He gets to make the rules.
Children of God…become his child
Getting saved is fast. Be saved in one minute
Peaceful easy feeling Excerpt: My sins are removed. Gone! Not held against me… because Creator God is full of an unfathomable love towards me, towards all who have been reborn in Christ.
“As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions
from us.”
– Psalm 103:12
Imagine what being saved has meant to you
What God does to prepare you for Heaven
The non-stop work of God inside you and me
Road sign: God is at work up ahead
Hell by God… has no bliss.
Hell is real… has no good of any kind.
Taking hate to Holy Heaven? Your ways, your views?…I don’t think so!
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who [a]fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who [b]fear Him.
14 For He Himself knows [c]our frame;
He is mindful that we are but dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.
17 But the lovingkindness of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting
on those who [d]fear Him…
–Psalm 103:8-17
