Eternal Life, Death & Heaven
A common question that has risen in mankind from generation to generation is, "What happens to someone after death?" Is there an eternity or an eternal abode for believers? Is there really a place called heaven? Many people have had so called death experiences and have come back to life and told of their experiences.
 The Bible has a lot to say concerning eternal life after death and what happens to the soul. Jesus spoke a great deal about this subject and declared that He Himself had come down from heaven and that after His death He would go there to prepare a place for those who would follow Him. John 3:13, John 14:2, Matthew 25:41
What is Eternal Life & Heaven? Eternal LIfe in Heaven is a term in the Bible which describes three different spheres of existence. The word "heaven" sometimes refers to the atmosphere surrounding the earth. Other times it refers to outer space where the other planets are. Lastly, Heaven is the dwelling place of God and the elect angels. it is the everlasting home of the redeemed of all mankind. Terms Used To Describe Heaven and Eternal Life.
The Reality Of Life After Death.
The Bible teaches that life continues after the physical death of the body. God created man with a natural, temporal  body and an eternal soul. The soul of man consists of who we really are. It is the center of our mind, will and emotions. The Bible teaches that life is eternal. 1 John 2:25, 2 Corinthians 5:1What Will Heaven Be Like? The Bible refers to Heaven as being above the world, in that God looks down upon the earth and that when Jesus left this earth he was received "up into Heaven". Mark 16:19 Heaven will be a place of light, love, holiness, righteousness, worship, service, joy, peace and life eternally because Jesus the Redeemer will be there. The New Jerusalem will be the new capital of the universe and the place where the redeemed gather for worship and service. There will be no darkness, hate, sin, unrighteousness, sorrow, discord or death there. Without these things, it will be heaven indeed. What a wonderful and worthy reward of the God who redeemed us!
Heaven is clearly described in the Bible as an actual place. It is not a feeling or a state of mind. When people refer to Heaven as being on earth they are partially correct in that we can experience a personal relationship with God while we are still alive. This is experiencing some of what is in store for those who will go to Heaven when they die.
What Is Needed To Enter Into The Gates Of Heaven?  No one in Heaven will deserve to be there as result of any merit of his own. Because of this fact three will not be anyone boasting that he or she had earned the right to live in Heaven. Choosing Heaven means choosing to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Such a relationship brings a foretaste of Heaven in this life, and an eternity of happiness.
