Will You Get Dirty in Heaven? Do You Have to Take Showers? 1. What is Heaven? Most people, even people who are not believers in Jesus, would say heaven is a place we go when we die. They might even imagine how they will get there and what it will be like. Some will rely on what they have been told or what they have seen on TV. Some might even say they traveled to heaven to see it and then came back to talk about it. The truth is, we can imagine heaven all we want, but the only true source of information is the Bible. We need to open our Bibles to know what heaven is, how to get there, and what life there will be like. Because the Bible often describes heaven using colorful descriptions and storytelling language, people who love Jesus may understand some things differently. That's OK! This book is a guide to direct you to the answers you can find in your Bible. If anything is confusing, you should talk to trusted adults. Together, we will discover the awesomeness of our Creator and the incredible place He prepared just for us. How do you feel when you think about heaven? A. Scared or sad about death. B. Excited to see someone I love. C. Worried I might be bored or will miss home. D. Curious if I am good enough to get in. E. Don't think much about it at all—it is a long way off. Thank goodness God created us to feel so many emotions, and we can praise Him that He is good, kind, creative, loving, trustworthy, and faithful! Because we know this about God, we can trust that heaven is an incredible place—better than any place we can imagine. Heaven is our true home because we will be there forever with Jesus! Can you get dirty in heaven? If you did, would you have to take a shower? Are there showers in heaven? These are some of the great questions my Sunday school friends had one day when I asked them to tell me everything they were wondering about heaven. In this book, we will look for answers to those questions in the Bible. We can always trust what we read in God's Word. However, when we think about heaven and wonder about what it will be like, we do not have all the answers. For some of our wonderings, we will just have to wait and see.
