- Heaven is about God, his sovereignty over all things, and his being our God and we living as his people. In other words, we will be present with God!
- In Revelation, God through John shows that the promises he made in Genesis, and throughout all of scripture, are coming true for his people! Most spectacularly, all the hurts that we have committed or have been committed against us will be redeemed, as well as all brokenness of every kind. These words are trustworthy and true.
- Remembering who Jesus is and what he did for us empowers us, by his Spirit, to persevere on this earth. Participating in his suffering with faithfulness brings us into sweet fellowship with him, and he will walk us all the way home.
- Isaiah 62:11–12
Behold, the Lord has proclaimed
to the end of the earth:
Say to the daughter of Zion,
“Behold, your salvation comes;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.”
And they shall be called The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
and you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
