Will We Look Like We Do Now In Heaven?
Answer: No one knows exactly what we will look like in heaven, but the Bible makes it clear that we will have new bodies-resurrected and perfect bodies.
We will be different, but we surely won’t be strangers to each other.
We will be able to recognize each other and enjoy each other’s company, just as we do here on earth-except it will be better because we’ll never fight!
