God's Promises

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.

Revelations 21:4

 

This world is full of sadness- death, illness, loss of many kinds. So many people are burdened by grief and pain. God makes us a wonderful and hopeful promise in Revelations 21:4, "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."

 

Imagine a world without grief or loss, a land without funeral services or cemeteries, a place where nobody will shed a tear. That's what eternity will be like! God did not create us to experience death or to grieve. Before sin, the Garden of Eden was a happy place, and God intended that His children be content and satisfied. But the fall of Adam and Eve resulted in sorrow and bereavement.

 

The illnesses and aches we experience, the tears of sadness that we shed, and the difficulties we endure are the result of sin. But in a new world where there is no sin, we will never again have to experience the bitter side of life. A time is coming when God will wipe away all tears, and there will be no more death. If it seems to good to be true, remind yourself that you can look forward to this new life with confidence. He has promised!
