Three Things Which Will Not Be Found In
Heaven
Revelation 21:4
I cannot begin to
describe the bliss and glory of our heavenly inheritance. Much that awaits us
is yet unknown. And that which is revealed is seen here
"through a glass darkly." But here are three things, with
which all who live upon the earth are very familiar, which shall not be found
in heaven.
THERE WILL BE NO TEARS
IN HEAVEN - "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" (Rev. 21:4). Here we see
much death, experience much sorrow, and feel much pain. And these things cause
our eyes to swell and our cheeks to burn. But our God shall soon dry our
eyes.In heaven, all that causes us to weep now, shall
cease to be. Once we have left this world of sorrow, we shall never weep again!
THERE WILL BE NO SIN IN
HEAVEN - "There shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a
lie" (Rev. 21:27). Here we are yet defiled by much sin. Here we, because
of the infirmity of the flesh, yet work much abomination and deceit. But soon
we shall drop this robe of flesh, and with it the
nature of sin, and we shall never do evil again. O happy, glorious day! We
shall be done with sin forever! And there will be no possibility
of God's elect ever being defiled again.
AND THERE SHALL BE NO
CURSE IN HEAVEN - "There shall be no more curse"
(Rev. 22:3). Where there is no sin, there is no curse. Where there is no
possibility of sin, there is no possibility of curse. We will suffer no curse
from God for sin, because Christ suffered the curse of the law for us (Gal.
