Question
I know in the book of luke it talks that the rich man was able to recognize Lazarus and remember his family, but he was in hell.  I want to know if I am going to not just recognize, but know the relationship that I had with those I know in heaven.  Ex: Will I know that my son IS my son?  My husband WAS my husband?  My mother IS my mother.  Please give scripture to back this up.

Answer
Dear Nicole,




WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOU LOOSE YOUR MEMORY WHEN YOU GO TO HEAVEN?

God will wipe away the tears , so there must be a memory of earth. On the Mount of Transfiguration Moses and Elijah were meeting with. E how the disciples recognized them? No photos in those days....

If the lion will lie down with the lamb then knowledge of predators will exist. Of course families are not our idols but they are precious on earth. In heaven they are all growed up . But I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob they are recognized now as father , son and grandson.

God bless
