Are Heaven and Hell real places?

And what are they like?

Today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren, we continue his series called Eternal Realities, Heaven and Hell.

In these lessons, Rick shares what the Bible says about Heaven and Hell, and how you can be absolutely certain you'll go to heaven.

And now here's part two of a message called The Reality of Heaven.

Did you know that the Bible says God has stored up every tear in heaven

that you've ever cried?

He's kept a record of it.

That your tears, your pain God knows about, he cares about.

But when you get to heaven, there's going to be no more sadness.

That's a good thing.

No more broken hearts, no more rejection, no more loneliness, no more sorrow, no more sadness, no more grief, no more heartache.

That is heaven. That is heaven. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will never be a split second in the billions and trillions of years

you'll live that you will have sadness or grief again or depression. Now those of you who

are right now going through grief and you're carrying the grief of a loved one or you've been

going through a period of depression. One of the things that that does in

our lives is it just makes heaven be a little bit more close. We want to go to heaven when we're in

pain. Why? Because there is none there. Not only no sickness, no sadness, the Bible says no suffering.

Look at this verse. The Bible says no more hunger,

no more thirst, no more scorching heat. You know what? When I get to heaven, my wife and I

won't have different controls on the thermostat anymore. Because we're all, why is that?

That you marry somebody who's so much hotter or colder than you are?
