The confort of God
📖💡 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4 NKJV
Comment: ✍️
All the evils arising from sin in the present world will be forgotten in the new world (1 John 3.2).
God has written the final chapter and has to do with the legitimate satisfaction and eternal #joy of those who love Him. We don't know everything we wanted, but it is enough to know that eternity with God will be more beautiful than we ever imagined.
Wonderful changes will come as we enter eternity! God will personally dwell with his people in glorious and intimate ways. There will be no more tears, death and pain.
All this entered the world through sin (Gen 3); however, now the #curse is eliminated (22: 3).
The phrase "Everything is done", uttered by God, is parallel to the statement "It is finished" uttered by #Christ (John 19:30). The same Lord who initiated creation finished it: he is Alpha and Omega (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet).
