Send us Fan MailRevelation 21:3-4: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.Isaiah 25:8: He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.John Piper states, “God is the gospel. The best and final gift of the gospel is that we gain Christ. Every other benefit is secondary, because every other benefit only enables us to enjoy God. Heaven is not heaven because of streets of gold but because God is there.”
