The Greatest Thing About Heaven

As we conclude our series of discussions about heaven, we discover the most wonderful thing about heaven. We will have an unimpeded fellowship with God Himself! Revelation 21:3 says: "“Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God." 


Dwelling with God in a transparent and open environment will certainly be the highlight of heaven. A relationship that is not marked with jealousy, deceit, stress, nor animosity. Isn't it true, that our heart longs for this relationship? We want to know and experience God's presence in its fullest. There is something in our spirit that craves this relationship.

But the amazing truth is that God also craves to have this kind of relationship with us. He created man to have a relationship with him. Even after the original failure of Adam and Even, God provided a means by which we could return to the pre-fall relationship that He had enjoyed with mankind. But this powerful verse tells us that God will be with us and He will be our God.

What a mind-blowing thought that this relationship is not only the greatest dream of mere men, but also the greatest dream of God?  For the first time since before the Fall of Adam and Even, God will have unbroken fellowship with us in heaven. Our frailties will no longer hinder our complete relationship with God.

Can you even begin to imagine how amazing it will be to be in a completely honest and open relationship with God? Unimpeded, un-compromised, nor fractured from the pain of broken relationships, we will be able to enjoy God's presence and glory in our lives for eternity!
