When we think of heaven, we often imagine a place of eternal rest, but Scripture paints a different picture. In heaven, we'll have work to do, but it won't be work all the time. We'll be worshiping God, working, and enjoying perfect fellowship with one another. Our work will be an extension of our work on earth, and we'll be using our gifts and talents to create and cultivate. We'll also be ruling and reigning with God, judging angels, and governing parts of God's creation. Heaven will be a time of learning more about God, experiencing real rest, and enjoying the company of believers from all ages.
