"GOD Will Remove All Of Their Sorrows."

No hissing serpent!
(Thomas Boston, "Human Nature in its Fourfold State")

Believers shall be made completely happy 
in the kingdom of Heaven. They shall be fully 
freed from sin, which of all evils, is the worst.

They shall be free from all temptation to sin. 

Satan can have no access to tempt them 

any more, by himself, or by his agents. 

No hissing serpent can come into 

the paradise above! 

No snare or trap can be laid there, 

to catch the feet of the saints. 

They may walk there without fear, 

for they can be in no hazard 

in the promised land. They shall be 

set beyond the possibility of sinning, 

for they shall be confirmed in holiness.

The guilt and the reigning power of sin 

are then taken away. The corrupt nature 

will be fully removed, and no vestiges 

of it left in their souls. Their nature 

shall be altogether pure and sinless.

There shall be no darkness in their minds; 

but the understanding will be as a globe 

of pure and unmixed light.

There shall not be the least aversion 

to good, nor the least inclination to evil, 

in their wills. They will be brought to 

a perfect conformity to the will of GOD--

blessed with angelic purity, and 

fixed therein.

Their affections shall not be liable 

to the least disorder or irregularity. 

They will get such a fixed habit of 

purity, as they can never lose. 

They will be so refined from all 

earthly dross, as never more to 

savor of anything but of Heaven.

Their graces shall then be fully perfected.
There will be no more ground 

for complaints . . .
  of weakness of grace,
  or of an evil heart,
  or a corrupt nature.

And they shall be freed from all 

the effects of sin: 

"GOD will remove all of their sorrows, 
and there will be no more death or 
sorrow or crying or pain. For the old 
world and its evils are gone forever!" 
Revelation 21:4

In Heaven they find the completion 
and satisfaction of all their desires--
having the full enjoyment of GOD, and 
uninterrupted communion with HIM. 

In the heavenly Canaan, Immanuel's land--
nothing is lacking to complete the happiness 
of the inhabitants. This is the holy 
and happy country--
blessed with a perpetual spring, 
and which yields all things for 
necessity, convenience, and delight!
