In
the temporary physical world that we live in, our bodies are subject to pain.
Pain is actually helpful much of the time. If there was no pain we would never
go to the doctor. If we injured ourselves and needed surgery or medicine, we
would not know to seek medical help without pain of some kind. But pain of any
type is not pleasant. Even babies are subject to pain.
All parents have cringed when their little
baby received his or her first shot. There isn't anyone in the world who is
sane who would not like to live a life without pain. But that is exactly how it
will be in heaven, no pain ever of any kind!
Everything will be made new in heaven. We
read in Revelation 21:5, "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I
make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and
faithful." We will have new incorruptible bodies. "Behold, I shew you
a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality" (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).
Since we will no longer have our physical
vile bodies, we will not ever suffer with pain again! "For our
conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself" (Philippians 3:20-21).
Yes heaven
will truly be worth it all. We have a wonderful summary of it in Revelation
21:4, "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." Let us trust the precious
promises of God and joyfully look forward to a world without pain.
