How old will we be in heaven?
"Dear friends, now we are children of God. He still hasn’t let us know what we will be. But we know that when Christ appears, we will be like him. That’s because we will see him as he really is" (1 John 3:2).
"But someone will ask, ‘How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?’ How foolish! What you plant doesn’t come to life unless it dies. When you plant something, it isn’t a completely grown plant that you put in the ground. You only plant a seed. Maybe it’s wheat or something else. But God gives the seed a body just as he has planned. And to each kind of seed he gives its own body" (1 Corinthians 15:35-38).
"The first man came from the dust of the earth. The second man came from heaven. Those who belong to the earth are like the one who came from the earth. And those who are spiritual are like the heavenly man. We are like the earthly man. And we will be like the heavenly man" (1 Corinthians 15:47-49).
The Bible doesn’t tell us how old we will be in heaven.Many people try to pinpoint or guess how old we will be in heaven, but we cannot be sure because the Bible doesn’t tell us how old we will be. Many people believe we will be around 30 or 33 years old because that is how old Jesus was when He died. The truth is that we cannot know how old we will be in heaven.
There is no “perfect age.” Age will not matter in heaven because we will all have our glorified bodies. We will never get sick or die. The Bible tells us that we will be like Jesus when we see Him, but it doesn’t tell us what age we will be (1 John 3:2).
Whatever age we will be will be perfectly aligned to God’s perfect design and plan. We can rest in peace over our future because God is in control and He knows best.
