I absolutely believe in heaven because the bible reveals it to be true. Christians’ hope is in heaven, not on this earth. We have the same pains, set-backs, griefs and aging process (it sucks!), as everyone else. Our life is focused on eternal life, living this brief-as-a-vapor life to glorify God, many times by suffering in a supernatural peace and joy (possible, not guaranteed,). The apostle John couldn’t have stated it any more clearly than in I John 2:25, “this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.” Can’t wait!
