Virtually every civilization known to humanity has had an instinctive awareness of a future life. The instinct of Heaven is registered in our souls, and our souls need such a place as Heaven.
Now there is really very little knowledge about our world here and now and much less about Heaven. But the Bible gives us some knowledge about this place to which we all want to go. Regardless of how bad and evil we are, there is no one who doesn’t want his or her feet to strike Zion.
Now, the first question everyone should ask should be, “How can I know that there is a Heaven?” Well, the answer to that question is found in the fact that the whole character of God demands that there be a place like Heaven.
God Is Just, and Heaven is a place of justice and a reward for the righteous. In a world racked by war, hatred, and violence and where evil continues to succeed there must come a day when the wicked will cease from troubling, and the weary shall be at rest!
God Is Merciful, and his divine mercy demands that there be a Heaven. God offers his forgiveness and salvation freely to those who will trust Christ. Yes, God is merciful, and thru Christ, he will look beyond our faults and see our needs.
God Is Eternal, and Heaven is the place where we will spend eternity with him. That’s why Paul proclaims: For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Cor. 5:1)
