Do pets & animals have souls? In this week’s video we see what the Bible has to say about it, and after I’ll point to some helpful resources, so be sure to stick around to the end. The Bible does not give any explicit teaching on whether pets and animals have “souls” or whether pets and animals will be in heaven. However, we can use general biblical principles to develop some clarity on the subject. The Bible states that both man and animals have the “breath of life”; that is, both man and animals are living beings. The primary difference between human beings and animals is that humanity is made in the image and likeness of God, while animals are not. Being made in the image and likeness of God means that human beings are like God, capable of spirituality, with mind, emotion, and will, and they have a part of their being that continues after death. If pets and animals do have a “soul” or immaterial aspect, it must therefore be of a different and lesser “quality.” This difference possibly means that pet and animal “souls” do not continue in existence after death. Another factor to consider regarding whether pets will be in heaven is that animals are a part of God’s creative process in Genesis. God created the animals and said they were good. Therefore, there is no reason why there could not be pets and animals on the new earth. There will most definitely be animals during the millennial kingdom . It is impossible to say definitively whether some of these animals might be the pets we had while here on earth. We do know that God is just and that when we get to heaven we will find ourselves in complete agreement with His decision on this issue, whatever it may be. Hungry for more?
