Revelation 22:1

Jesus
Eternal lifeHeaven and the new creation
Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be within the city, and His servants will worship Him.
