Catechism for Young Children · Question 145 of 145
What is heaven?
A.A glorious and happy place, where the righteous shall be for ever with the LORD.
What does this answer mean?
Heaven is a glorious and happy place where the righteous will be forever with the Lord. The catechism ends with joy. The word 'happy' echoes question 21: what was lost in the fall is given back, and more, in the presence of God. From here children are ready for the Shorter Catechism.
What can we ask our children?
- What is heaven?
- Who will be there?
- What is the best thing about heaven, according to this answer?
