And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the Throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And He said unto me, It is done. I AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his GOD, and he shall be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Rev 21:4-8)
There will be tears: tears for those who didn't accept Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for their sIn and eternal life and tears for the loss of opportunities and rewards we could have had for being obedient to our Lord. Tears that GOD will wipe away after all has been judged and all those who were opposed to GOD and the things of GOD are no more. GOD says He will remove the remembrance of the former things.
We who are of the household of faith should be moved to tears over those we know who are lost and headed for a devil's Hell, knowing their fate and doing all that GOD would have us to do to reach them for Christ. He commands us to minister to those who are hurting, disciple one another, and preach His Word to this lost and dying world. We must understand what it will cost, and what the alternatives are for those who don't hear and obey. We are not responsible for other's decisions, and can't force or process them into Heaven with any magic words, but we are to be obedient to our Master's call and commission.
The lost, disobedient, and unbelieving who have died without Christ will not be with us in Heaven. They have made their choice, but while there is life there is hope and GOD still offers those who have not yet received Him by faith in what He has already done on the cruel Roman cross His Salvation and eternal life. We must tell them of this Good News.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His Word and surrender to Him on His terms for forgiveness and Salvation and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He offers His Salvation freely, for He has already paid for your sIn debt. Trust Him today and receive Him that you may live, now and always in His presence.
