Catholic Christians and all
other Christians believe in
the blessedness of heaven
realized in the possession of God.
Scripture speaks of heaven in
many ways:
• as life (Matthew
18:8);
• as eternal life
(Matthew 25:46);
• as the crown of life
(James 1:12);
• as the tree of life
(Revelation 2:7);
• as glory (Romans
8:18);
• as eternal glory (2
Timothy 2:10);
• as the eternal glory
of God (1 Peter 5:10);
• as rest (Hebrews 4:3,
11);
• as the crown of
righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8);
• as the Kingdom
(Matthew 25: 34);
• as a dwelling in the
heavens (2 Corinthians 5:1);
• as paradise (Luke
23:43).
