IMMORTALITY

On relationships in heaven…

1. We will not have our earthly bodies so everything that restricts us and binds us to our carnal nature will be gone. That includes no lust of the flesh, no lust of the eye and no pride of life. That includes earthly marriage which is for life, until death do us part.

2. We will be in spirit so there will be no division, no disharmony. There will be complete oneness with the Father through The Son in The Spirit. We will not forget everything but we will know Him fully even as we are fully known. Just as we are limited now in our understanding, then we will know Him fully because we will have left our earthly tent and be united with the LORD fully in glory.

3. He will wipe away every tear so it will not be a brainwashing or erasing the past but rather a complete restoration, a complete healing like when a deep wound or surgery is fully healed. Better yet, like when Naaman’s skin became like a baby’s skin. He and everyone knew he had a horrendous debilitating and incurable skin disease, yet when God restored him, he was like brand new.

…

Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Matthew 22:29‭-‬30

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. Isaiah 25:7‭-‬8

And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:49‭-‬50‭, ‬53

And THEN…

…the former things will not be remembered.

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. “Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them. Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain,” says the Lord. Isaiah 65:17‭-‬25
