Question: Recently, our pastor was preaching about heaven, and he said we would spend our time there worshipping God. I hate to admit this, but that doesn't sound very interesting to me. Maybe you can enlighten me.
Billy Graham's answer: What your pastor said is true: Worship will be an important part of our experience of heaven. The Bible tells us that in heaven "All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed" (Rev. 15:4). Perhaps you're right, however; much of what we call "worship" today does fall short of what it should be. We become distracted, and our minds wander and we become bored. But true worship isn't boring. One reason is because in heaven we'll see God in all of His power and glory and majesty. God is far greater than we realize -- and when we enter heaven and see Him as He really is, our response will be to worship and praise Him. In heaven, we will be singing "Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength...to our God for ever and ever. Amen!" (Rev 7:12)
The Bible also tells us that God will have work for us to do in heaven. It says that in heaven, "his servants will serve him" (Rev 22:3). Unlike here, however, we won't become tired or bored.
