My favorite parable is the parable of the talents.
Those who are faithfull over a FEW things in this life, will be given GREAT responsibilities in the next.
All sleep till judgement day. None arrive ahead of time.
sorry catholics, praying to dead saints isn't scriptural.
As to what we'll be doing in heaven?
it IS a mystery.
But there are hints like the talents parable.
another, goshin quoted, we were created a little lower than angels but will be raised HIGHER than angels.
The clearest hint is we are children of God, the same as Christ is the Son of God. He is the first born and heir.
But we are all also God's children.
Children mature into adults like their parents, right?
Children of God become....?
Also
Genesis 3:22
King James Version
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
