There will be no tears in Heaven. Isaiah 25:6-8; Revelation 7:13-17; 21:1-6. How can there be no tears in Heaven if loved ones of the saved are eternally burning? No, God will wipe away every tear, and take away the sadness from the hearts of His beloved saints, and there will never arise any more incidents of sin, pain, suffering, death, or even of the tempter Satan! All sin and evil will be destroyed in the lake of fire as John the Revelator reveals. Revelation 21:8; 20:14-15; 20:10. Heaven would not be ‘heaven’ to the saved, if their lost loved ones were eternally burning! If this were the case, sin could rise a second time, because someone would question why God wasn’t being merciful with their lost loved ones and was endlessly punishing them with fire. But it is clear from the Bible that sin will not rise a second time. It is also clear that sinners won’t be burning once God has wiped every tear from every eye! That should be self-evident. Sin and sinners will be no more. And the saved will be healed from all their hurt, and from the loss of their loved ones and friends who didn’t make it to Heaven and were not saved.
“The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, and refined, aged wine. And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, even the veil which is stretched over all nations. He will swallow up death for all time, and the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 25:6-8 NASB.
Now hear this prophecy about Jesus and the future: “Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor make a decision by what His ears hear; But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist. And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Isaiah 11:1-9 NASB.
“And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” Revelation 7:13-17 KJV.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Revelation 21:1-6 KJV.
Do these promises of the future need any comment? God will swallow up death for all time. He will wipe away every tear, there will be no more suffering or death. Sinners will be no more, destroyed forever; beyond all sinning, pain and suffering. It is not possible that sinners can be endlessly punished, because the revelation given to John here is that there will be no more pain, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor death when the first heaven and the first earth pass away! This message that the wicked will not be endlessly punished for their sins is a revelation given to John by Jesus Christ, which came from the Father. We say this because the book of Revelation is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, given to Him by the Father, as it states in Revelation 1:1. While John didn’t write this revelation directly in this passage, it is an inference and the only logical conclusion to the truth that he stated, that God will wipe away every tear FROM EVERY EYE, and there will be no more pain, suffering or death. His descriptions of these things being no more and passed away are all inclusive. There is no possibility that the revelation from God here declaring that there will be no more tears, pain, suffering or death, because the former things are passed away, not applying to the lost sinners who were thrown into the Lake of fire. If you still have any doubts, read Revelation 20:13-15, where God reveals that death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire, which is the second death, and all people whose names were not written in the book of life, meaning that they also died the second death too. And there will be nothing any more to cause any hurt on God’s holy mountain. There will be no more tears, sorrow or sadness, or pain, for lost sinners will be gone and at peace, free from their slavery to sin, no more suffering! And there will be no tempter left to tempt or annoy people into sin to destroy themselves or others. There will be nothing but peace, wonderful peace, joy, love, faith, hope, and happiness for all eternity for the saved! These words are faithful and true, because they were declared by Jesus, the Word of God, which were revealed to Him by the Father. Amen! Revelation 3:14; 1:1.
In conclusion, let us end with promises of God’s love for us, and banish all thoughts of fear for what is coming next, and focus on how much He loves us! “The LORD appeared to him from afar, saying, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.’” Jeremiah 31:3 NASB. ‘But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.’ Psalm 13:5 KJV. “Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.” Psalms 25:8-10 KJV. “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because His mercy endureth for ever.” Psalms 118:1 KJV. ‘Praise the LORD, for his mercy endureth forever.’ 2 Chronicles 20:21 KJV. “Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.” Psalms 130:7-8 KJV. “Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7 KJV.
To close, let us read ‘the Shepherd’s Psalm’:
Amen.
Did you know that Psalms 23 contains a promise that God’s mercy will follow all of those who want it all the days of their life, and that they will dwell with Him in His house forever in Heaven? Amen!
You don’t have to be afraid of God any more, nor for your future, if you will just give your heart to Him all the way, because Heaven is within your reach. The texts and reasoning we have presented here should be enough to cast doubt on this whole unfair charge against God, that He only loves people who love Him and repent, and if they don’t He will punish them forever. So you are now free to worship your God whom you love, and rejoice in His goodness and mercy! For His love and mercy endures forever! Praise His wonderful name! After you fall in love with God, you will probably want to do your best to help your loved ones and friends make the right choice, so that they can live forever in Heaven with you, and not miss out on all the peace, love, joy and happiness that you will have there too. But you will no longer just be going to Heaven because you are afraid of being lost, but because you love Jesus and His Father and want to be there in Heaven with them! You don’t have to worry about friends or loved ones anymore, who are not walking with God being treated unfairly after their death, because now you should know how merciful, loving, kind and perfectly fair God is in His treatment of all mankind. If someone you know or love doesn’t make the right choice and is lost, you can rest assured that God will treat them fairly, and they will not be punished any more than they deserve. Amen!
May God’s everlasting mercy shine upon you and give you peace!

To close, let us read ‘the Shepherd’s Psalm’:
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalm 23:1-6 KJV.
Amen.
Did you know that Psalms 23 contains a promise that God’s mercy will follow all of those who want it all the days of their life, and that they will dwell with Him in His house forever in Heaven? Amen!
