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

How did Peter, James and John recognize Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration? No introduction are recorded.

1Co 13:12 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.

I take the above passage to imply we will need no introductions or name tags in Heaven, as we will know.

Re 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I take the above verse to imply God will erase all memories of our loved ones who are not with us. For if we remembered, how could we have complete joy, happiness and peace?

our heart in that sense is not the organ.

OF COURSE HE IS ,   BUT GOD IS SPIRIT .  not flesh.   AND thus those who worship HIM must do so IN SPIRIT .

JESUS said it years ago .      SING IT JOHN.     PRAISE THE LORD PEOPLES , PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE and again I SAY PRAISE THE LORD PEOPLES.

Raise those hands up and praise the LORD and onward in the LORD .

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?

There is not grief or sadness in heaven. Perhaps that person is blotted out of our mind. You can not think on earthly terms when you are talking about heaven.

Here God is saying he has a heart, how could we be in his image and not have some of the same things.

You're misunderstanding, otherwise God would have feathers and wings too.

Psalm 91:4 KJV
[4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler

 

Thanks yowm.   that is a very simple and plain point .

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.

There is one more passage to consider
1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV 1900)
⁹ But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
I have noticed the how complete and exact fulfillment of God's Word is the norm... so if this is completely fulfilled as written then all will be unimagined by what is (as was)... but will be new and only realized after great white throne and total change by end through God's fire what was... and then -> by New Heaven and New Earth the eternal state unimagined by creation yet prepared by God in Newness without the concept of sin ...

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.

They did not treat the issue of Christ in the glorified body... How He was not recognized and recognized by seemingly control of that in and of Himself...

There will be sorrow in the existing heaven up and to the finality of sin at great white throne and annihilation of first creation ...

Revelation 21:1-6 (KJV 1900)

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. ² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. ⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. ⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. ⁶ And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

The Proverbs were mostly written by Solomon or by Agur and Lemuel his teachers.  They are inspired of the Holy Spirit but not written as the voice of God.  So you are reading this incorrectly.

I don't see sorrow in heaven in this.
