Not sure where he got it from, but my late Sunday School teacher once told me that their will be a sort of hierarchy for the level of a Christian life you lead on this earth when you are in Heaven. I'll be happy just to be sweeping the streets as I'm not a every day angel, in fact I'll probably be cleaning toilets when I get there. I've professed my sins and asked for forgiveness every time I pray, and I've asked some of my past preachers if I need to be re-babtised and was told it's not necessary. The hardest thing in the world is to just have faith when you live in a existential society. Meaning I can't see him, I can't smell him, I can't touch him, so how can it be real? But i'd be happy cleaning toilets than the alternative. Jesus did all the work to get us into haven. All we need to do is say that sinners prayer. Your life will change after that. God's word (The Bible) becomes your new rule book. Follow God's rules the best you can! Heaven will be your final home. Side Note: I am not a religious person at all. God puts up with me everyday. I am also God's child thanks to Jesus Christ. Amen.

I believe in God and that he put his son Jesus Christ on this earth so that those who believe in him and ask for his for forgiveness of their sins may have ever lasting life in Heaven. I 'll admit that I am not a student of the Old or New Testaments of the Bible. So my question is, how do you envision the Kingdom of Heaven to be?

I Corinthians 2.9 9 But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.â€
Concerning Heaven, it will be far greater than we can imagine or think.

Those who are wiling to do the searching and listening, this is the exact topic today of "Turning Point" a radio broadcast by Dr. David Jeremiah. Just google turning point and David Jeremiah and you'll find it. Interesting topic on how our bodies will be in heaven.

I envision the pathway lined with plants, flowers and trees, sort of paved with a gravel'y or even grassy road.
Once inside, it will smell like warm, baked bread, and all my pets/friends will rush to me, including those animals I've known that were the best friends of my friends and relatives.
Then, I will first be approached by a loved one I truly miss, either my brother who past at age 17 back in 1969, or my parents who are "currently" still here, both at 88 years of age.
I will hear gorgeous classical music, I will see strangers who have past on, but who are loved by other "Heavenly" people.
All my questions I've ever had will be answered, and I'll be "all knowing," or, my mystical spirit simply will not care anymore regarding the "questions that were unanswered" while I was on Earth.
God will be a non-physical entity, more like light or mist hovering at eye-level and up to the sky. He will be in a specific "Heavenly spot," not down mingling with the masses.
The mingling will be done by Jesus.
I could go on, but that's what I envision at this time.

Repent, and call upon the name of the Lord and thou shall be saved! Most important thing in life anyone can do! Heaven is my home! One of these days I will enter in thanks to the Blood of my Savior. Jesus Christ. I am only a sinner saved by grace.
