''And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also ''John 14:3Jesus actually prepared this heavenly place for us in his kingdom so that at the appointed time we shall go there . The heavenly city is still being prepared for as many would believe in Jesus Christ and live the life of Christ . Jesus talks about mansions being in his father's house and that God has prepared many of them for his children .
'' In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.'' John 14:2 The prepared a place for us individually according to our works and this is the reward that will be given to the children of God .'' And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be '' Rev. 22:12 The mansions are our reward as we finish our works of righteousness on earth .
There are also other things that are prepared for God's children in heaven . For instance heaven's street is prepared with gold .'' And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.'' Rev. 21:18 There are other things that are also prepared for the children of God , such as crowns of righteousness, crown of glory , crown of life ,etc '' Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.'' James 1:12
In heaven there are crowns of life and even river of life that the Christian is suppose to drink and live forever . As well as the tree of life that the saints will eat from and enjoy eternal life forever . '' And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.'' Rev. 22:1-2
The place is prepared in such a way that God will dwell with his people without pain , sorrow , sadness , tears , hunger , crying nor death in heaven . ''And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.'' Rev. 21:14
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ , help me to live a life in such a way as to enter this place you have prepared for me .
