Text: Revelation 21:9-27
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Holiness means total obedience to the word and will of God. God’s will is clearly spelt out in his word. Without holiness no man shall see God. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God- Hebrews 12:14; Matthew 5:8.
God’s throne is situated on a mountain called Mount Zion. How do we know? Psalm 48:1-3 says, “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge.”
Heaven is a beautiful place. You cannot compare its glory with any place on Earth. the foundation is made with all manner of precious stones. There is no need for electrical or solar light because God’s glory fills it with His radiant light.
In today’s text, we see that in Heaven, also known as the New Jerusalem, God will live among Men and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God,and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain.
Nothing that defiles or profanes or is unwashed will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices abominations [detestable, morally repugnant things] and lying, but only those [will be admitted] whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life; those who have clean hands and a pure heart.
Will you be among the number?
