Keeping Hope of Eternal Life Alive


No More Tears

Revelation 21:4 (KJV) "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Background

The book of Revelation, filled with vivid imagery and apocalyptic visions, gives us a glimpse into the ultimate hope of eternal life with God. In Revelation 21, we find a beautiful promise: God will wipe away all tears from the eyes of His people. This verse signifies the culmination of God's redemptive plan. It paints a picture of a new heaven and earth, where there is no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. It's a promise of eternal joy, peace, and life in the presence of our Creator, free from the suffering and trials of this world.

Be Encouraged

The words of Revelation 21:4 offer profound comfort and assurance. In times of sorrow, loss, and pain, I take solace in the hope that God has promised to wipe away every tear from my eyes. This is a future where death and suffering no longer have a place. It reminds me that the trials of today are temporary and that a day is coming when all suffering will cease.

In my heart, I hold onto the anticipation of that glorious day when God's promise will be fully realized. Imagine a world where pain and sorrow are memories of the past, where joy reigns eternally. This hope inspires me to endure with faith, knowing that my future is secure in the hands of a loving and faithful God. Have you given your life to Christ? Have your sins been washed in the blood of the lamb through baptism - by immersion? Are you living daily by the Saviour's side? If yes, then your hope is secured! Share this message of encouragement with others, reminding them that heaven is a place of eternal joy.
