Will We Know Each Other in

Heaven?

If we won’t know each other…

Do we still have our identity after this life?

What about our memory?

Matthew 17:1-8[4] Peter said to Jesus,              “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here,             one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 

Romans 14:12

[12] So then each one of            us will give an account                

of himself to God.

Luke 16:19-31

[23] “In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. 

Luke 16:19-31

[25] “But Abraham said,   ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now  he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 

Why Do We Wonder?

1) What about us becoming spiritual?

1 Corinthians 15:50-51[50]  Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the 

perishable inherit the imperishable. [51] Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be 

changed, 

1 Corinthians 15:44

[44] it is sown a natural body,  it is raised a spiritual body.           If there is a natural body,       there is also a spiritual body.

But: This does not teach an identity shift!

2) What about there being no marriage?

Matthew 22:30

[30] “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are 

given in marriage, but are            like angels in heaven. 

But: The relation of marriage is ended, but not the memory of it.

3) What about knowing those who won’t get

to heaven?

But: We know God can comfort us.

What We Find: Descriptions

of Heaven

Genesis 25:8

[8] Abraham breathed his         last and died in a ripe old age, an old man and satisfied            with life; and he was         gathered to his people. 

2 Samuel 12:23

[23] “But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”

John 14:3

[3] “If I go and prepare a           place for you, I will come         again and receive you to Myself, that where I am,        there you may be also.

Luke 13:24-30

[29] “And they will come            from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in             the kingdom of God. 

Heaven is a place of reunion

and being together!

“Faith is the Christian’s foundation,

hope is his anchor, death is his harbor, Christ is his

pilot, and heaven is his country.”
