Grace Southern
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, 25To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
Have you ever wondered what Heaven looks like? Have you ever tried to imagine what it would be like to walk through Heaven and the things you would see?
Well there are things that won’t be in Heaven! There will be things that are eliminated.
• No More Sea
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.
