Most of all, however, we know heaven is real because of Jesus Christ. He came from heaven for one reason: to make it possible for us to go there. Because we are sinners, heaven’s door is closed to us. But on the cross Jesus Christ took away all our sins, and now our sins can be forgiven and cleansed, and we can have the privilege of entering ...

While it’s impossible to prove the existence of heaven in the same way you’d prove the existence of your hometown, that doesn’t automatically mean the place is fictional.3 To be sure, belief in heaven boils down to faith—not blind or unreasonable faith, but faith nonetheless. One biblical author defines faith like this: “Faith is confidence in what...
Heaven is a familiar idea to many of us, but what exactly does the Bible say heaven is? Most simply, heaven is where God lives. This doesn’t mean God is absent elsewhere; in fact, Scripture makes it clear that he’s present everywhere.6 But heaven is the place where his presence uniquely dwells.7 It’s the place of our treasure,8 our citizenship,9 ou...
The Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes states that God has “put eternity into the human heart.”20 As people crafted in God’s image, we are eternal beings with an innate longing and capacity for eternal life.21We were made to live forever. Humanity’s desire for unending happinessis insatiable and undeniable. I think we’d all agree that we tend to wa...
Though neither you nor I can scientifically prove heaven’s existence—or nonexistence, of course—it’s an entirely plausible belief to hold. The reliabletestimony of the Scriptures as well as the unquenchable longings of our souls powerfully point to its reality. Finally, Christian tradition makes it clear that we must remember that the only reason w...
Just as God cannot die, neither can that part of God that He has placed within you ever die. In our hearts and minds we all sense this is true; death is not the end, and there must be something beyond the grave. The Bible says, “He has also set eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). But the main reason we know Heaven is real and ...
A: One reason we know heaven exists is because God has put within our souls a yearning for heaven. Down inside, we all sense there must be something beyond this life — and that feeling is almost universal. The Bible says God “has also set eternity in the hearts of men” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). But the main reason we know heaven exists is ...
Apr 6, 2016 · That’s because heaven isn’t a mere concept or state of mind; it’s a real location (John 14:2–3; Acts 1:9–11; 7:55–56). When followers of Jesus die, though our bodies remain on earth, our souls immediately enter God’s presence (Phil. 1:23; 2 Cor. 5:8). This is a temporary situation or “intermediate state” until the day when ...
Nov 21, 2023 · The “heaven” Christians are promised is a restored garden of Eden, not a wispy cloud and a golden instrument. While we don’t know exactly what heaven will be like, the Bible suggests that it won’t be static or boring (Revelation 21:23–24). Yes, heaven exists. And, according to the Bible, it will be the most glorious place imaginable.

How do we know Heaven is real? We know it first of all because Jesus Christ came to overcome death’s sting and open Heaven’s door for us. Only one thing will keep us out of Heaven, and that is our sin. But Christ came into the world to conquer sin’s power—and He did this by becoming the final sacrifice for our sins through His death on ...
