How would you like to live in a place where sin cannot permeate (Rev. 21:27; 1 Pet. 1:4), where nothing is subject to decay (1 Pet. 1:4), where newness and bright colors never fade (1 Pet. 1:4), where there is no pain or death (Rev. 21:4), where there is no sorrow or crying (Rev. 21:4), where there is no night (Rev. 22:5),…
