Heaven, What will it be like?

[GraceBwithU]

This is only one thought I have about heaven.

I have participated in many discussions on this forum. Something has just occurred to me. I think one of the most glorious things of the Eternal City of the New Jerusalem is the fact that we will be able to go straight to the source if we have questions. There will be no KJV, NIV, or Torah. They will all be unnecessary. God created us in is image, not His completeness, (a 6 not a 7) therefore we continue to debate things that are sometimes irrelevant to our salvation. There are many true Christians here. I look forward to meeting you in this City of mansions that He has prepared for us.

God Bless you all.

II. Heaven
from the Catechism Of The Catholic Church:
http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1 ... 3art12.htm


1023 - Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they "see him as he is," face to face......

1024 - This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinityâ€â€this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessedâ€â€is called "heaven." Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.

1025 - To live in heaven is "to be with Christ." The elect live "in Christ," but they retain, or rather find, their true identity, their own name.

For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom.

1026 - By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has "opened" heaven to us. The life of the blessed consists in the full and perfect possession of the fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ. He makes partners in his heavenly glorification those who have believed in him and remained faithful to his will. Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ.

1027 - This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description. Scripture speaks of it in images: life, light, peace, wedding feast, wine of the kingdom, the Father's house, the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise: "no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him."

1028 - Because of his transcendence, God cannot be seen as he is, unless he himself opens up his mystery to man's immediate contemplation and gives him the capacity for it. The Church calls this contemplation of God in his heavenly glory "the beatific vision":

How great will your glory and happiness be, to be allowed to see God, to be honored with sharing the joy of salvation and eternal light with Christ your Lord and God, . . . to delight in the joy of immortality in the Kingdom of heaven with the righteous and God's friends.

1029 - In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to fulfill God's will in relation to other men and to all creation. Already they reign with Christ; with him "they shall reign for ever and ever."
