What do you think Heaven will be like?

[@samanthabv]

Perfect fellowship with our loving Father.

[@jilllingenfelter4682]

It’s going to be the most incredibly incredibly amazing super super beautiful paradise :) And it will be a super super super happy incredibly peaceful place. And we will be reunited with our loved ones when we get there :) And I can’t wait for that day I’m so super super super excited. and my plan is to meet/see. And dance with my Grampa for the very first time when I get Home to Heaven :)@Pastor Greg Laurie

[@barbarahenricksen4958]

Best part is that Jesus will be there forever

[@REDEEMED-FORGIVEN-SINNER-777]

Everything better than ever with loved ones that will be there and JESUS ✝️

[@joshuastange]

Heaven Will Be Like Perfect. We All Are Ready For God Is Return And God Is Coming Back Soon

Welcome into the kingdom of God!

[@CMojoRising]

Amen!

[@Braveheartfield]

Yes? So did the Holy Spirit convict you when you were watching the video? That is amazing! So happy you saw urgency to get saved now before the rapture! I think Jesus is coming soon. Too many signs showing the end times are upon us! Tell everybody you know and love that you decided on team Jesus and there is no time to waste.

[@TheSimpleTruthOne]

I forgive you all, of all your “sins”, past, present & future… 🙄 Now how about you all stop wasting your time fearing the future, the “Antichrist”, and start living & enjoying your lives in the present!

[@jamesfreeman2258]

I pray the Lord will guide me in trying to witness to my little sister. She is 56 and does not believe in God. I will have three days this weekend to try and talk to her. I'm asking for prayers to help me say and do the right thing. I want to show her that it is only through Jesus Christ that we find our salvation. Pray for me please❤

[@marybethlatimer536]

I pray you were able to plant some seeds of salvation. I pray that they are watered by the Believers she meets throughout her days.

[@pjmccarthy179]

Heaven is a real place

[@user-il4bc6ss9m]

Thank you Pastor Greg for making me laugh. It has helped me through grieving for my darling husband who died last year. I know that he is in Heaven with Jesus which keeps me going.

[@somewhereinthemidwest9827]

If one breaks the commandments, how would God ever forgive them? Would they ever be accepted into His kingdom? I could never be sorry enough for the things I’ve done in this life. But I am sorry. I’m remorseful. I fail everyday but I still want to try. I AM a sinner and I DO accept Jesus as my Savior. Lord, thank you for your love and saving me from alcohol.

[@paulhowson8744]

If you broke even one commandment you have sinned. Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets. He died on the cross for your sins. Now , who ever believes upon him shall be saved, and your sins forgiven you, past, present 🎁, future. It is the gift of God. Shalom 🪔🕊️

[@marilynmauthe6423]

God forgives us because Jesus paid the price for our forgiveness. So now we say “ thankyou Jesus that your blood has washed us white as snow, now we can come to the Father as a new creation, a brand new man because He sees us through your eyes. Jesus it’s not about what we have done but is all about what you have done for us. Thankyou Lord for loving us.

[@gailntag]

I could never hope to be good enough to make it to heaven. Only by accepting Jesus will I ever make it to heaven.

[@akfinn5308]

When Sweetheart was a dying, he asked me what's next? The next day the same question. So, I prayed about it. The answer I got was: Enter into His Gates with thanksgiving, and into His Courts with Praise. Be thankful unto Him. And Bless His Name. It was part of Psalm 100:4. This was also one of the songs we sang together with our children. And yes, it was a satisfactory answer for him.

[@blinko656]

This is a beautiful answer for people. I read it carefully, it appears to me God spoke to you pretty clearly thank you so much.

Jesus is my best friend and Savior without him there would be no reason to exist. I am striving to follow him this world has nothing I want. Pray for me and my salvation I want to be caught up in the sky to meet my Lord and Savior. Praise God what a glorious day that will be. Amen🙏

"And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:3-5 (NKJV) 🙌🙏

I watch my husband's decline and know there is nothing I can do to stop his pain. Help me through, Lord Jesus, for I know the light is waiting on the other side. Amen.

A very simple answer...but I think you really nailed it!

We , in our present bodies of corruption will experience true life for the first time !

The innocence of or like a child! How Greg was and some of us these are what Heaven is made up of. We will be serving God, not the earthly government. What our Godly parents taught us as children that is good in every way will go a long way but even then is not enough in the presence of God! But our faith, love for him and worship to him will go even further

[@yingnyang2889]

God looks at the heart and judges the intent of one’s thoughts. And God is so merciful and loves us, despite our mistakes. Remember the thief on the cross? He simply asked the Lord to remember him. And Jesus gave his assurance that he’d be with him. Don’t be fearful - you take care of yourself and your relationship with Jesus. Everything will fall into place. God bless you

[@malindavanhoy3688]

I love this... Thank you

[@JoshucaVA]

I guess the only question is could Heaven truly work without subjectivity? For there to be no night, what shall this mean for those who prefer the night? Do they mean literal light, or night as in pain? May we still have ambition?

I’m enjoying your preaching teaching talks etc pastor Laurie. So based on what you’re telling us now I can safely conclude that Christians do not go straight to heaven when they die They are sleeping or resting waiting for the RAPTURE. SO CHRISTOPHER and all others are sleeping and waiting on the trumpet call

[@humblewatchman1673]

Asking for genuine consideration, and potential dialogue, from all my pretrib brothers and sisters. If the restrainer in 2 Thes 2 is the primary proof text that the church will be removed prior to the final 7 years, then why does Paul say in the first chapter of the same book that their relief will happen when Jesus comes in blazing fire? And when does the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments, say Jesus will return in blazing fire with His angels?? Paul doesn’t say their relief will come with a rapture prior to the troubles of the final 7 years. 2 Thes 1:7 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

[@benhosking9370]

He says this because many will accept Christ during the tribulation (tribulation saints). These are those you ask about as the church is already gone and is saved from the great tribulation.

[@humblewatchman1673]

@benhosking9370. Appreciate the dialogue brother. In 2 Thes 1:7 Paul is talking to the exact same group of people that he’s addressing in the next chapter, yet he tells them their “relief” will come when Jesus returns in fire and with His angels - rather than telling them their “relief” will come when they’re taken from the earth in a rapture prior to the final 7 years. So, we’re forced to add meaning into the text to avoid contradiction (such as this being two different audiences in the very same letter) rather than allowing the text to just communicate what it’s actually saying.

[@tomjacobs9555]

revelation is referring to the events of AD 70. The rapture is unbiblical. The anti christ came and went.

[@fredweber6585]

Paul was talking about the New Christians who Accept Salvation through Jesus Christ During the Tribulation period

[@markanthony3275]

You have to look at the context, which is God punishing those who caused you hardship by their evil ( 2nd Thess. vs 6 " God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who troubled you")...this doesn't mean that you are on the earth while God is doing the punishing. Paul was writing to a church that was undergoing such persecution that they thought they had missed the rapture and were now in the Tribulation , which they understood as "The day of the Lord" from their Old Testament scriptures.

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. -- Isaiah 66:22 KJV And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. -- Isaiah 66:23 KJV
