The promise of being with Jesus and seeing his glory offers hope and encouragement, reminding believers of the eternal bond they have with Christ. This assurance of future glory and unity with God provides comfort and strength, encouraging Christians to live with the hope of eternal life and the joy of being in God's presence.
