The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,
But the one who rejects correction goes astray.
(Prov. 10:17)
"So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us" (1 Thess. 2:8).
Then I heard a loud voice from the throne:Look! God's dwelling is with humanity,and he will live with them.They will be his people,and God himself with be with themand be their God.He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.Death will no longer exist;grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer,because the previous things have passed away (Rev. 21:3-4, HCSB).
