Frankly: I’m not dead yet, so I haven’t got a clue. Matthew 22:23-33 may suggest interpersonal human categories such as wife, sister, mother father ...  won't count any more, but of course any Bible verse on the matter is wide open to human (mis-)interpretations. However, I once heard a sermon with a very apt picture: The Pastor said that everything the Bible tells us about eternal life is just the wrapping of a wonderful gift. The actual gift in this wrapping is beyond our wildest earthly imaginations until we actually die and actually experience eternal life, but we can trust that it’s perfectly good.

Right now the scriptures say we see through a glass darkly, but after this we will know as we are known.

• 1 Corinthians 13:12King James Version (KJV)

  ¹² For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 

  We won't lose anything we know, we will know more than we do now.    We will recognize others and remember who they are.

 

And welcome to Worthy!

I do not think I would disagree with that, but I believe while we might know who they are, old relationships are dissolved. When I next meet my wife, she will not be my wife, she will be my sister, but the relationship will be better, and more intimate and rewarding, as we are all in the family of God, adopted to be co-heirs with Christ. Our focus will be more on Him, we as His bride, that it is will be on each other. Those former relationships, will be part of the things passed away (Rev 21:4). Just my opinion.

That being said, all of what I just stated, related to believers only. Those who die in unbeleif, reap a different eternity.

Being a universalist I will have to disagree with that last statement of yours. I think as Christians we ought to have trust and hope that Christ will indeed not rest until He’s found the last of His lost sheep and that in the end He will accomplish what He’s been sent for: to bring all of humankind to salvation, even those of us who did not know or couldn’t accept His grace in this life.

Someone told me that our parents on earth will be our parents in heaven too. And I asked him about how's my emotions toward them,I mean the emotion of a child to the parents and the parents to the child. He said that the bible did not discuss more about death.

Maybe when we die,we know them as our parents yet the emotions that we have for them rather the love that we have for them are the same already as our love to our brothers and sisters in Christ. I mean EQUAL love to everyone. Yes it's true that God is our focus in heaven glorifying Him in eternity. So maybe like Jesus Christ to Mary, Jesus knows Mary is his mother on earth yet he loves everyone equally,no especial love to mother but especial love to all. It's just all come to my mind. Indeed, it's a good news in the end. Thanks everyone

Gosh, is that quote from the bible ?  know it but thought it was from a play .

Those who die in Christ will instantly have their souls with Him.  Paul said, thus we shall always be with Him.  Being in God's presence will be so overwhelming that we may not even notice each other, but I suspect believers will know each other.  I hope to see my mom and dad again in heaven, and my grandma.  I doubt that we will really miss those who have hated Jesus and hated Christians.  They will remain in the grave till the second resurrection when they will be foreced to bow to Jesus and to take the eternal punishment for those who have rejected Him

John 3:16

 

For God So Loved the World

16 “For  God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 

That whosever come will have everlasting life  

We don't have to hope but trust Jesus to do what He promised..!
