I'm often asked if people, particularly children, become angels when they die.ĭeath is a relocation of the same person from one place to another. He fashions us to want precisely what He will give us so what He gives us will be exactly what we want. Why? Because we will experience all God intends for us. If we would miss something from our old lives, it would be available to us in heaven.

The upgrade from Earth to heaven will be vastly superior to that from economy to first class. Have you ever bought an economy ticket for a flight, but because of overbooking, been upgraded to first class? Did you regret the upgrade? Did you spend your time wondering, What am I missing by not being in the back of the plane? Study of the Scriptures, here are some of the most frequently asked questions. Though most of us are in no hurry to get to our final destination, we all have questions about it. That first gasp will likely be followed by many more as we continually encounter new sights in that endlessly wonderful place. Etched in my memory is the sound of a gasp going through my snorkel as my eyes were opened to a breathtaking underwater world.Īs believers, I imagine our first glimpse of heaven will cause us to gasp in a similar way-with amazement and delight. Just when I thought I'd seen the most beautiful fish, along came one even more striking. I saw countless fish of every shape, sizeĬolor. When I anticipate my first glimpse of heaven, I remember the first time I went snorkeling.
