What does eternal life look like? You're gonna want to hear this one, so stick around to the end and just stick around. Jesus died and his resurrection offers hope to all of us that heaven is our goal. But this begs the question, what does this eternal life look like? Will we be disembodied souls floating around through heaven? Or will all of a sudden we all learn how to play harps and get a pair of wings and join an angel bag singing worship songs? Here's what the Bible says. It's actually quite vague. It's vague about the specifics of our life after death. We do know one thing is going to be true. We will be with Jesus. And that's all that matters. So what? How you live on earth today matters. You've been redeemed to fulfill the purpose of God's representatives on earth, carrying out his creation for the benefit of all people. So do three things. Number one, look up. Have a relationship with Jesus. Look in. Bring your questions to Jesus, not the world. And look out. See that the world needs to know God and go love the world like Jesus did. Why are you so consumed with heaven? Looks like none of us know. But one day we will. Are you excited about your future? Like and subscribe and you'll get more answers to the questions. Like.
