What will we be doing in heaven??

In Luke 23:43, Jesus declared, "Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). The Greek word Jesus used for paradise is paradeisos which means "a park, that is, (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness, paradise)".



Not just any park but "the paradise of God" or park of God (Revelations 2:7) . Does this sound like a boring place?



Jesus said, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him" (Matthew 4:10).



Worship is from the heart.



Serving God is worship and Scripture is clear we will serve God in Heaven. We are unable to fully serve God in this life due to sin but in Heaven "every curse will no longer be" (Revelation 22:3).

We will not be under the curse of sin any longer so everything we do will be worship in Heaven. We will never be motivated by anything other than our love for God. Everything we do will be out of our love for God, untainted by our sin nature.

So what will we do? Learn. "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?" (Romans 11:34) "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3).

God is bigger than forever and it will take eternity "to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:18-19).

"I shall fully know even as I also am fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12). In other words, there is no need to hide anything in heaven. There is nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing to hide.

We will interact with "a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues" (Revelation 7:9).
