Receiving a Grand Inheritance

I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed yet in my flesh will I see God. I myself will see Him with my own eyes - I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25 - 27 NIV

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Ps. 23:6 NIV

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, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe away 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... Rev. 21:1-7 NIV
