21:6
Right back at the beginning of Revelation God introduces Himself as the alpha and omega. Here He reminds us that this is who He is. God is the beginning and the end. There are many pretensions that set themselves up against the knowledge of God, but these are all liars and they will all pass away (2 Cor 10:5). Indeed we have a part to play in this! Is 55:1 urges us to come to God to purchase water from Him without cost. God is the “spring of the water of life”.
21:7
“Those who are victorious ...” The seven letters at the start of Revelation made promises to those who overcome. Here we are told that those who overcome will “inherit all this”. Giving is a fundamental part of who God is, and He creates things for our benefit. This is why rebellion is so tragic, and why so-called prosperity teaching is such a travesty of the truth. There is enormous reward in being faithful to Christ. “I will be their God and they will be my children”. There is a wonderful relationship to be had with the Lord!
