- There are two things that this passage teaches us: 1) we learn that faith, hope, and love abide in heaven. We get to heaven by faith in the risen Lord Jesus (Rom. 10:9-10) and that faith will not end when we get there. 2) And we learn that love is superior to faith and hope in heaven.

Sep 11, 2023 · When Paul says that he went to the third heaven, he means that he went to the place where God dwells. Interestingly, Paul uses the phrase caught up to refer to how he was transported to heaven; it’s the same Greek word used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 to refer to the rapture of the church.

Paul and Barnabas are on their first missionary journey. From the island of Cyprus, they made their way to Asia Minor, preaching first at Perga, where John Mark forsook them and fled back to Jerusalem.4 One can only conjecture that the dangers were so great there that Mark could not deal with them. Paul and Barnabas then pressed on to Pisidian Antioch where they had an attentive audience, with a number of Jews and Gentiles coming to faith.5 Within a week, the unbelieving Jews had created such...
Several things are worthy of note in this text as it relates to our study of heaven. First, I am impressed with the brevity of Luke's account of Paul's stoning and resuscitation. The Book of Acts contains many miraculous events, and this certainly appears to be one such miracle. Even if Paul had only been rendered unconscious for a time, you would ...
We need to understand Paul's words in these verses in the light of their context. Beginning in 1 Corinthians, Paul has been seeking to correct problems in the church. These problems included divisions,11 departure from the fundamentals of the gospel,12 fleshly immaturity,13 immorality,14 litigation with one another,15 participation in heathen worship (including eating meat offered to idols),16 misconduct at the Lord's Table and in the church meeting,17 and a denial of the resurrection of the...
While there are a number of texts in Paul's writings which speak of the resurrection of the dead, or of the Lord's return, there are not that many texts which directly speak of heaven, and particularly regarding what it looks like. In 1 Corinthians 14, for example, Paul spends a great deal of time and energy defending the doctrine of the resurrection, due to the fact that some were denying this doctrine.23 While he does not seek to describe what heaven will be like in this text, he does set f...
1 Corinthians 3:10-16; 2 Timothy 4:1-8
These texts indicate that after their resurrection, the saints will stand before God, where their works will be judged. The issue and the outcome is not salvation, but rewards. Heaven will commence with the believer's judgment and the Lord's distribution of rewards for faithful service.
Romans 8 is the climax of Paul's teaching on sanctification in Romans 6-8. In chapter 6, Paul showed the necessity of sanctification. One dare not persist in sin after coming to faith in Jesus because when we were saved, we died in Christ to sin, and in Him we were raised to newness of life. It is inconsistent with the gospel to die to sin and yet continue to live in sin. Romans 7makes it clear that we need more than mere desire to live the Christian life. That is because sin is more powerful...
I've been struck with several things as I've studied Paul's teachings on heaven. The first is that while Paul had ample opportunity to tell others what heaven is like, he opted not to do so. As noted earlier, that was because he was forbidden to speak of his unusual revelation in any detail, and words were inadequate to describe what he saw. Second...

Paul is taken up into the third heaven and hears words not to be spoken of. 12 No doubt it is not seemly for me to boast. Nevertheless, I will come to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ about fourteen years ago (whether he was in the body I cannot tell, or whether he was out of the body I cannot tell, God knows) who ...

May 17, 2023 · To return to Ephesians 2, immediately after teaching that we are saved through faith, not through works (Ephesians 2:8–9), Paul says that we were created “to do good works” (Ephesians 2:10). Salvation comes by God’s grace through faith, and that faith is made manifest in good works.
