Short people are often overlooked and underestimated. But just because we’re short doesn’t mean we can’t go to heaven! In fact, the Bible says that God loves all of His children, no matter how tall or short they may be.

So if you’re wondering whether or not short people can go to heaven, the answer is a resounding yes!

Short people may not be able to reach the top shelf, but we can still enjoy all the wonderful things that heaven has to offer. Thanks, God, for loving us just the way we are!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

-John 3:16

Can Short People Go To Heaven? What Does The Bible Say?

Here are some bible verses in the old testament that talk about God’s love for us:

-Isaiah 43:4 (A), “Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you,”

As you can see, God’s love for us is everlasting, and He desires to have a relationship with us.  So regardless of our height, we can all go to heaven! Short people, you are not forgotten!  God loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven.

The Son of God says that He loves short people and that they have a place in Heaven. He also says that short people are just as important as anyone else and that they should not be made to feel inferior because of their height. Jesus wants everyone to know that they are loved and valued.

Regardless of our physical attributes, we are human beings and God loves each and every one of us.  He is a loving God who desires to have a relationship with us.  If we put our trust in Him, by the grace of God, we can have eternal life.  So short people can most certainly go to heaven!

Were There Any Short People In The New Testament?

There are several stories of short people in the bible. A few include Zacchaeus, David, and Esther.

Zacchaeus was a tax collector in Jericho. He was a very short man and people made fun of him for it. He was also very rich. One day, Jesus came to Jericho and Zacchaeus wanted to see Him. He climbed a sycamore tree to get a better view. Jesus saw him and called him down. He told Zacchaeus that he would visit his house.

Zacchaeus was so happy that he pledged to give half of his possessions to the poor and to repay anyone he had cheated four times over. He decided to do many good deeds. Zacchaeus is an example of how God can change anyone’s life if they are willing to accept The Holy Spirit. You can read more about him in Luke.

Next is the story of David, everyone doubted him because of his height and size. God used him because height doesn’t matter for God to use you and love you.

The David and Goliath story is a story from the Bible. That tells the story of David, a shepherd boy who defeats the Philistine giant Goliath with a slingshot. David is a short person, and Goliath is a giant.

This story teaches that David was able to defeat Goliath because he had faith in God. David’s faith gave him the strength to defeat Goliath, even though he was smaller and weaker than the giant. This story is an inspiration to short people everywhere, and it teaches that faith can overcome any obstacle.

David’s story is a reminder that size doesn’t always matter, and that sometimes the underdog can come out on top. You can read more of his story in 1 Samuel.

Short people are just like everyone else, except they’re shorter. The last story I will be writing about is a short woman named Esther. She is a short woman who loves God. Just because she’s shorter than average, doesn’t mean that she can’t do everything that anyone else can do.

In fact, Esther probably has a lot more faith than most people because she knows that God is always with her, no matter what. So if you’re ever feeling down about being short, just remember that God loves you no matter what and that you can do anything you set your mind to. Esther has her own book in the Bible if you’d like to read her whole story and how much strength and faith she had.

Are Short People Subject To Everlasting Contempt?

Short people are sometimes subject to ridicule and bullying. That is not right.
Who deserves to be bullied? Nobody.

The love of God doesn’t discriminate against people based on their skin color, height, weight, or even if you were born with a birth defect like a crippled foot or an eye defect. The short answer is the Lord Jesus Christ loves all of His children equally, no matter what they look like on the outside.

So, no, He doesn’t curse or punish those who are shorter than average height or tall people. In fact, there is no height requirement. He has a special place in His heart for them!

All groups of people have the same temptations, no one is more likely to commit a sin. That said, some people may feel like they have to do more to make up for their short stature, which could lead them to sin more often in an attempt to fit in. However, no one would ever be punished due to their outward appearance.

Can Righteous People Be Short?

There is no mention of physical stature in regards to righteousness in the Bible. Righteousness is a state of being that is determined by a person’s relationship with God, not by their height. The only thing keeping a short person from being righteous is if they do not have a right relationship with God. So, to answer the question, yes, righteous people can be short!

Bible scholars point to a number of Bible verses that discuss the qualifications of a priest. To be considered righteous, a priest must be without sin and must meet other qualifications set out in scripture. 

Some of the key Bible verses that discuss the qualifications of a priest include:

– Hebrews 7:26 ” Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens”

– 1 Timothy 3:2-5 “2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)”

– Titus 1:6-9 “6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[a] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.”

These verses make it clear that a priest must be without sin and must meet other qualifications in order to be considered righteous. Bible scholars have used these verses to develop a list of qualifications for priests that includes both personal piety and doctrinal orthodoxy.

This is good news for those of us who are vertically challenged. We don’t have to worry that our lack of height will hold us back from being close to God. He loves us just as we are!

How Can People of Any Height Obtain Everlasting Life?

Short and tall people alike can have everlasting life by believing in Jesus Christ. When the Bible speaks about the gift of eternal life, it is not referring to a physical stature but instead to a spiritual one. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This means that as long as someone believes in Jesus Christ – regardless of their height – they will obtain everlasting life.

According to the Bible, there is only one way to go to heaven. Jesus Christ said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” This means that we must put our faith in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross as the payment for our sins.

If you have not yet put your faith in Jesus Christ, I encourage you to do so today. It is the only way to ensure that you will spend eternity in heaven with God. If you have any questions or would like to know more about how to have a personal relationship with God and receive a gift of salvation.  Please feel free to contact me. I would be more than happy to help you in any way I can on your spiritual journey, no one has a perfect life.

There is much Bible speculation about what the kingdom of heaven will be like. The good news is in the book of life it says that God has prepared a place for us and that we will be with Him there. It is the will of God that all his children go to the wonderful place he has created for us.

-Romains 10: 9-10 “9 If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. 10 For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved.”

Romains 6:23 “23 For sin pays its wage—death; but God’s free gift is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Scripture also says that in the kingdom of God we will be free from the sorrows and troubles of this world. If you would like to know more about what the Bible has to say on the subject, please read our post What Will Heaven Look Like?

-Galatians 3: 28-29 “28So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham and will receive what God has promised. “
