"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Revelation 22:14 (KJV)
This is the last blessing mentioned in The Holy Bible. It was recorded by the Apostle John, the disciple who referred to himself five times as the disciple whom Jesus loved. (John 13:23, 19:26, 20:2, 21:7, and 21:20) He was inspired and directed to write this by The Holy Spirit of God. Blessed are all those who believe, confess their sins, obey His Word, and have been forgiven of their sins because they will have been washed and cleansed by the blood of The Lamb of God. They will have eternal life and continual blessings because they will have been granted entrance into heaven.
The Bible basically come to a close saying that believers, those who follow Jesus, The Christ, will be allowed to enter heaven and be blessed with eternal life. The Lord God said the He was the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13) He will reward every man according to their works. (Revelation 22:12)
