WORD
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place[a] of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people,[b] and God himself will be with them as their God.[c]4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:3-4
We are being transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus by His grace and by the power of the Holy Spirit. One day, as God has promised, this process of being made holy will be complete.
No more pain. (Romans 8:18)
