Verses from Revelation

我又看见一个新天新地,因为先前的天地都过去了,海也再没有了。我又看见圣城,新耶路撒冷,从天上由 神那里降下来,预备好了,好象打扮整齐等候丈夫的新娘。我听见有大声音从宝座那里发出来,说:“看哪! 神的帐幕在人间,他要与人同住,他们要作他的子民。神要亲自与他们同在,要作他们的神。他要抹去他们的一切眼泪,不再有死亡,也不再有悲哀、哭号、痛苦,因为先前的事都过去了。”

得胜的,必要承受这些福分。我要作他的神,他要作我的儿子。只是那些胆怯的、不信的、可憎的、杀人的、淫乱的、行邪术的、拜偶像的和所有说谎的人,他们的分是在烧着硫磺的火湖里。这就是第二次的死。”(启示录 21:1-4, 7-8)

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelation 21:1-4, 7-8)

When Jesus comes back for us, will you be the victorious children of Him or will you be the latter - cowardly, unbelieving, sexually immoral and so on? 

What's your choice? What you choose and how you choose to live your life today determines how you choose to face Jesus when He comes back for us.
