We know God is preparing us for heaven because He has fashioned our desires and promised eternal life through His Word.
God’s preparation for heaven is assured through His promise and action in our lives. As noted in 2 Corinthians 5:5, it is God who has 'wrought us for the selfsame thing,' indicating that our desires and anticipation of eternal life are not coincidental but divinely orchestrated. The Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives serves as a guarantee of the inheritance that awaits us. Philippians 1:6 further reassures us that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. This divine assurance provides believers with confidence that God is actively preparing us for our eternal home.
