What Is Heaven? Is It A Real Place, Or Just A Fairy Tale?

Yes Heaven is a real place! The Bible talks about Heaven many times, and makes it very clear that people who believe in Jesus to save them from their sins will go there one day, either when we die, or when Jesus comes back to earth to get us.

After Jesus comes back to Earth He promises He will bring us back to live with Him on the “New Earth”! Earth He says! A Real place with Water, Grass, flowers, and Trees that you can touch, feel, taste, smell, hear, see . . .

God says in Isaiah 65:17 in the Bible: “Look! I am creating New Heavens and a New Earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.”

The Bible tells us that Heaven is just as real as the Earth where we live now. God even calls the place where we’ll live forever the “New Earth”. So how can we know what Heaven is like? Well, the Bible tells us!Your browser may not support display of this image.

Just think, if you were trying to describe someplace that you had been, but none of your friends have been there, you would probably tell them about it by comparing it with someplace you all knew and had been. Say you rode an amazing ride at Disney World, you might compare it with some of the rides the Carnival had when it came to your town.

Well, this is what some of the writers of the Bible did to help us understand what Heaven is like. They describe Heaven as; a “City”, “Paradise”, a “Garden”, a “Resting Place”, the “Kingdom of God”, a “Heavenly Country”, “The Kingdom of Heaven”, and “The Future Dwelling Place of the Righteous”.

This place will be beautiful far beyond anything we could ever dream about! But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try! Just close your eyes think of the most beautiful and fun place you haveever seen? What made it beautiful to you? Why is it so fun? Thinking about what Heaven may look like will make you dream about it and get you even more excited to go there!
