Perhaps the most common theme from NDEs is experiencing a beauty that fills the soul and is difficult to put into words. People who get a glimpse of the afterlife encounter a majesty that is beyond their ability to comprehend. Surprisingly, this “heavenly world” looks very much like the one the Scriptures have been describing for thousands of years.

When I die, will I still be myself? Will I have a body or will I be some kind of angel or spirit? Will I see the people I know and love and will we recognize each other? Will I get along with everyone in the afterlife? Many NDEs reveal a lot about relationships in the afterlife, and so does Scripture. You might be surprised how they compliment each other.

Most people want Heaven to be real but struggle to imagine what it will be like. And if Heaven is real, does it have a place for me? It’s a human question because there’s a human longing to know — what happens when I die? How you think about Heaven should affect everything in your life.

Now is a powerful moment. Think about it: you can only enjoy things now. You can only love people now. The past is gone and the future isn’t promised. All you have is this moment right now. If you want to experience the full life Jesus wants for you, you have to learn to be fully present in your life - fully present in this moment. So what keeps you from this moment and how can you maximize every moment?
