December 31: An Eternity of Bliss.
Happiness and Eternal Fulfillment.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasure of living with you forever.--Psalm 16:11, NLT
THE YEARS OF ETERNITY, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. As knowledge is progressive, so will love, reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will be their admiration of His character. As Jesus opens before them the riches of redemption and the amazing achievements in the great controversy with Satan, the hearts of the ransomed thrill with more fervent devotion, and with more rapturous joy they sweep the harps of gold; and ten thousand times ten thousands and thousands of thousands of voices unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise....
The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love.--The Great Controversy, 678.
"Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me
to repay all people according to their deeds.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End."
--Revelation 22:12, 13, NLT
