If I died now, or Jesus came and took me to Heaven, would I still be a kid? I'm 8 yrs old. -- Micah

Micah, this is a great question!

Let's see what the Bible says about what we'll be like in Heaven. . .

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.

Philippians 3:21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

These two verses clearly teach us that our bodies will someday be "glorified" if we have turned from our sins and received Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

What will we be like in our glorified bodies? The Bible teaches that we will be like Jesus Christ in His glorified body. When Christ was crucified and put in a tomb, he rose from the grave and beat death. When he appeared again to his disciples and others (I Corinthians 15:4-7) He was in a glorified body.

Some things He did in His glorified body:

1. He ate (Luke 24:42-43)

2. He appeared and disappeared at will (Luke 24:31, 36)

3. He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:8-10)

4. He spoke

5. He was real -- not just a ghost or spirit (Luke 24:35; John 20:27)

The Bible clearly tells us that our glorified body will be like His.

Since heaven is a place without time, a person's age will have no meaning. It doesn't matter whether you are 8 or 80 when you go to be with God, you will be given a glorified body and mind like Jesus Christ. The body and mind you receive when you go to be with God cannot be thought of as old, young, or middle-aged. The body you receive will be completely perfect because it will be like Christ's.
