I have a number of Bibles that I own, but only one that I use a lot. I love that Bible. I memorize out of that Bible. I read through that entire Bible each year. I write cross references into that Bible (as I have done other Bibles in the past). I meditate and talk to God while using that Bible. I go to that Bible when I want to share it here on CF as a resource.
I was just thinking this evening, "When I die and go to Heaven, I will be leaving that Bible behind. I won't have access to it any more. What is Heaven going to be like for me without it?" Well, of course, I won't need it in Heaven. "Forever O Lord, thy Word is settled in Heaven." Psalms 119:89. Is it a KJV version of the Word? Is it another English Version? Of course not. Will I even speak English in Heaven? What language WILL we speak? Will we instantly know a universal language of Heaven once we arrive? Will we instantly know everyone that is there? God, Jesus will be there, and "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you." John 14:20. The Holy Spirit, the Author of the Bible, will still be in me as well. With all this, I won't need the Bible I leave behind on earth to my daughter. I will have God to remind me of anything I need to remember in His written Word, or maybe we will be given an instant complete and accurate knowledge of it when we are in Heaven. Whatever the case, God has the perfect solution already worked out for us.
