7. Why would I want to go to heaven?

Imagine a man and woman who meet on the Internet. As time progresses and they communicate often through social media, their friendship deepens. Soon they are in love. Although they talk every day; the greatest desire of their hearts is to meet each other and never be separated again.JTL6 5.1

So, it is with the believer and Jesus. All who love Him can hardly wait for the day they will meet Him face to face. No one could ever cherish us more than Jesus. Believers live in expectation of that joyous, glorious second advent of Jesus from heaven. The Bible calls Jesus’ coming “the blessed hope.” This biblical hope of Hebrews 6:19 has a sure anchor in Jesus.JTL6 5.2

Imagine a place free of pain, suffering, forced separation, injustice, rejection, aging, disease, dying, death, and abandonment. Heaven will be all light, all love, all peace, all joy, all fulfillment. Wouldn’t you want to go and live there forever with Jesus?JTL6 5.3
