Counsel #1 — Home Of The Saved

Picture: Counsel #1 — Home Of The SavedCFL 75.1

Heaven is the future home of the saved, where the redeemed will live, love, and worship throughout eternity. It is a real place!^{[70]https://www.adventist.org/who-are-seventh-day-adventists/heaven-and-the-new-earth/} There will be real homes (see Isaiah 65:21-23), real people (see Matthew 8:11), and real communication and fellowship with God (see Revelation 21:3). However, human language is inadequate to describe the future home of those who have accepted the righteousness of Christ. There “the wolf will dwell with the lamb” (see Isaiah 11:6) and God’s people will forever enjoy the work of their hands (see Isaiah 65:22).CFL 75.2

“In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:2, 3 NKJVCFL 75.3

“A fear of making the future inheritance seem too material has led many to spiritualize away the very truths which lead us to look upon it as our home.” Ellen White in The Great Controversy, p. 674CFL 75.4
