Rapture Ready
Things That Won’t Matter Once We’re Home :: By Dr. Donald Whitchard

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and there was no more sea. Then, I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 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.’
“Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’ He said to me, ‘It is done! I am alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be His God, and he shall be My son’” (Revelation 21:1-7, NKJV).
Let’s start with some good news. Your former life before you were redeemed by Jesus Christ won’t matter. Your past sins and mistakes that could have barred you from entering glory were, at some point in your life, washed away when you repented and put your faith in Christ alone for salvation. No one or no devil will be there to remind you of something you did or said that was contrary to what you were as a new creation in Christ. The accuser of the brethren will be in the Lake of Fire, and your sins will have been cast away forever as far as the east is from the west. You will be with the LORD forever, free from the grip of sin and death.
