December 19: An Eternity of Bliss.
Endless Delight.
"Then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken."--Isaiah 58:14, ESV
THE HERITAGE THAT GOD has promised to His people is not in this world....
...All that are Christ's are "Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise"--heirs to "an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away"--the earth freed from the curse of sin. Galatians 3:29; 1 Peter 1:4. For "the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High;" and "the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." Daniel 7:27; Psalm 37:11.--Patriarchs and Prophets, 169.
You must be there. Whatever you lose here, be determined to make sure of eternal life. Never become discouraged....Live for Jesus....Seek earnestly for the crown of life.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, 131.
Look to Jesus, keeping your eyes fixed on the glory at the top of the ladder. Through Christ alone can you make sure of heaven, where all is purity, holiness, peace, and blessedness, where there are glories that mortal lips cannot describe. The nearest we can come to a description of the reward that awaits the overcomer is to say that it is a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. It will be an eternity of bliss, a blessed eternity, unfolding new glories throughout the ceaseless ages.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, 131.
"For as the new heavens and the new earth
that I make
shall remain before me, says the Lord,
so shall your offspring and your name remain."
--Isaiah 66:22, ESV
