We will experience a
sense of perfect joy
There will also be perfect peace and fulfillment because of
the divine presence of God. Our worship of the Father will be without
distraction. Forever and ever we will concentrate our worship only on Him; our
loving, caring God who is, and was, and forever will be our Creator and
Sustainer. Never will we experience exhaustion as we serve and interact with
Him on a very personal level. “And His servants shall serve Him” (Revelation
22:3).
In Revelation it is revealed we will govern with Christ and
rule over all that is brought under His dominion. “The kingdoms of this world
have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall rule
forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15). And it is written; “And they [his
servants] shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:5). Ours will be a
perfect fellowship like that of the Father and the Son. “That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You;
that they may also be one in Us, that the world will believe You sent Me”
(John 17:21).
Death presents a mystery to the living, even to include
those who are the children of God. However, our blessed assurance is from God
Himself, the One who reassures us that nothing escapes His control, not even
our deaths. Our death takes us to the threshold of heaven, and upon dying our
spirits leave our bodies and transcend to heaven accompanied by His angels to
be presented to Him (Luke 16:22). Our earthly bodies remain behind until the
resurrection, at which time they will become new bodies lasting for eternity.
As children of God, having all faith, and believing in
Christ Jesus, the Son of God, our inheritance through Him is life everlasting
with Him in heaven! Praise be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Ghost.
