Revelation 22:1-3 says, “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.”
All the pain and suffering in the world and that we experience comes because of sin. When Adam and Eve rejected God, sin and its consequences entered into our world. Since that time people have yearned for something more than what we have on this earth. Deep down we understand that this place is not the home that we desire.
Heaven is the home that we long for because all the pain and suffering will be removed. Life, as God created it, will be ours forevermore. Live like you belong in Heaven. This life begins with trusting in Jesus as Savior and Lord. Through faith we are given new life, eternal life, and our citizenship in Heaven is established.
