By these verses It must mean God has a heart and other internal organs, just like us, and I would assume we would have them in the next life to, since he will wipe every tear from our eyes.

Proverbs chapter 23 verse 15, 16

 

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed;

my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.

 

 

 

Or am I misunderstanding.

 

 

Revelation chapter 21 verse 4

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

The Bible tells us we will have perfect resurrected bodies. We will know our loved ones in heaven. We know that we will wear white robes. That is all the Bible tells us.

I believe this is God's word with God speaking in Proverbs.

I'd say it's not the organ itself, it's the heart emotions which is very intersting with how it is felt.

can you tell me where the bible says we will know our loved ones. Seems to me if we know our loved one and someone isnt there that we love it would make one grieve

which one should not grieve in Heaven.

thanks mm

Question: "Will we be able to see and know our friends and family members in Heaven? Will we know each other in Heaven?"

Answer: Many people say that the first thing they want to do when they arrive in heaven is see all their friends and loved ones who have passed on before them. In eternity, there will be plenty of time to see, know, and spend time with our friends and family members. However, that will not be our primary focus in heaven. We will be far more occupied with worshipping God and enjoying the wonders of heaven. Our reunions with loved ones are more likely to be filled with recounting the grace and glory of God in our lives, His wondrous love, and His mighty works. We will rejoice all the more because we can praise and worship the Lord in the company of other believers, especially those we loved on earth.

What does the Bible say about whether we will be able to recognize people in the afterlife? King Saul recognized Samuel when the witch of Endor summoned Samuel from the realm of the dead (1 Samuel 28:8-17). When David’s infant son died, David declared, “I will go to him, but he will not return to me” (2 Samuel 12:23). David assumed that he would be able to recognize his son in heaven, despite the fact that he died as a baby. In Luke 16:19-31, Abraham, Lazarus, and the rich man were all recognizable after death. At the transfiguration, Moses and Elijah were recognizable (Matthew 17:3-4). In these examples, the Bible does seem to indicate that we will be recognizable after death.

The Bible declares that when we arrive in heaven, we will “be like him [Jesus]; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). Just as our earthly bodies were of the first man Adam, so will our resurrection bodies be just like Christ’s (1 Corinthians 15:47). “And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:49, 53). Many people recognized Jesus after His resurrection (John 20:16, 20; 21:12; 1 Corinthians 15:4-7). If Jesus was recognizable in His glorified body, we also will be recognizable in our glorified bodies. Being able to see our loved ones is a glorious aspect of heaven, but heaven is far more about God, and far less about us. What a pleasure it will be to be reunited with our loved ones and worship God with them for all eternity.

GOD IS SPIRIT .    our heart in that sense is not the organ.   its what on the inside of us .

In the given verse from proverbs the father wants his son's heart to be wise. But you think that those words mean that God has a physical heart like we do.

Therefore you are confusing two different things.

The inmost being is also referring to the heart, Peter called it "The hidden man of the heart". The inner core of the person which can rejoice. "I delight in the law of God according to my inner man".

Your natural physical heart that pumps blood cannot be happy or sad. It doesn't have emotions.

Jesus said "Out of the heart the man speaks". That is not talking about the physical heart, but talking about the inner man that is the deposit place for God's word, or the place where the word of God is sown.

Our words are motivated by our convictions, our passions, our emotions. That's why the apostle Paul wrote "Let the word of God richly dwell within you". He also said that the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that dwells within.

Paul also wrote that those that are led or motivated by the Spirit of God, are the children of God., He is in us to direct us to do God's good pleasure because He directs our hearts in the love of God and steadfastness of Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:35-58English Standard Version (ESV)

 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”  You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.  And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.  But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.  For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.  There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.  It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.  Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.  But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.  As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.  Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.  For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.  When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
 “O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

ok thanks for this info. my other question is not answered in the info. It was what if one knows his/her family and knows all did not make it, would  this cause grief.

Im under impression there will be no grief. any info about this would be great. unless we do not remember those family that do not make it. is it possible to remember only the family one will see in Heaven and forget family that did not make it to heaven?
