Christian images of heaven

Eternal Life in Eternity -

In the height of heaven (Job 22:12 below), in the third heaven (2 Cor.12:2 below) God inhabits eternity (Isa.57:15 below) and dwells in Zion (Joel 3:21, Ps.23:6 below), the city of the living God (Heb.12:22 below).

Christ chose us before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph.1:4 below): and He gave those He chose eternal life (Jn.10:28-29, Jn.3:36, Jn.17:2 below).

Having been given eternal life, we in Christ Jesus are passed from death unto life (Jn.5:24 below), never to die, to live with God in Eternity (Isa.57:15 below), in His kingdom (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22 below), an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away (1 Pe.1:3-4 below).

We are of the household of God (Eph.2:19 below).



Job 22:12 [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

2 Cor.12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Isa. 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Joel 3:21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Ps.23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me (David) all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Heb.12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion (Re.14:1), and unto the city of the living God, the HEAVENLY Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

Eph.1:4 According as he (Christ) hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love (Jn.5:24 below):

Jn.3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life (Jn.5:24 below): and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Jn.5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life (Jn.3:36 above), and shall not come into condemnation (Eph.1:4 above); but is passed FROM death UNTO life.

Jn.10:28 And I give unto them eternal life (Jn.3:36, Jn.5:24 above); and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand (Jn.10:29 below).

Jn.10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me (Eph.1:4 above, 1 Pe.1:3-4 below), is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand (Jn.10:28 above).

Jn.17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast GIVEN him.

1 Pe.1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Pe.1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Eph.2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Dan.7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom (Dan.7:22 below) for ever, even for ever and ever.

Dan.7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (Dan.7:18 above).
