Every stage—from rapture, judgment, to the creation of the new heaven and earth—is a testament to His eternal faithful love.
However, this journey also invites us to reflect on our lives today. Do we build on the foundation of Christ with gold, silver, and precious stones? Or are we trapped in the snares of wood, straw, and immorable chaff? Before Christ's judgment seat, only works born of faith and love will survive.
The New Jerusalem awaits, a place where God dwells with His people, without sorrow, tears, or death. Would you like to go there?
