The value of believing in Christ and maintaining our faith in Christ is not fully realized without the blessed assurance of a heavenly home with God when this life is over.
“These [the ones in white array] are the ones who come out of the great tribulation and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne He will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” [1]
No more hunger or thirst! What a wonder! Especially for the millions who are deprived of sufficient sustenance to survive in this world. “The sun shall not strike them, nor any heat.” What a blessing! Especially, for those who lived day after day in extreme temperatures. Such as those in refugee camps who lack air conditioning and fans.
The Lamb who was slain for the sins of humankind shall bring these who washed their garments in His blood to fountains of living water. They are refreshed. Their tears are wiped away by God.
They are before the greatest throne of all. The throne of God! God has turned their mourning into dancing, and He has clothed them with garments of joy. [2] Praise the Lord!
[1] Revelation 7:13-17
[2] Psalm 30:11
Our Heavenly Father wants to love us and be loved by us. He wants us to be with Him forever. Be mindful of this as you read the prophets.
