The New
Creation
The new creation is where this is all heading.
It’s the end point and goal of God’s plan. It’s a new universe and a
new earth: similar to this one because it will also be real –
physical, beautiful, diverse and wonderful; but different to this
one because there will be no more sin, suffering, death, pain, tears
or anything impure. There, the meaninglessness of this life will be
gone.
In the new creation, God’s glory and love will
be brightly displayed forever in Jesus and the people he has
rescued. He will be
our king and we will be his people, knowing what it’s like to be
loved by him, rescued by him, and ruled by him. There, we will love
God perfectly and we’ll love each other properly too. We will see
God and we will know him more personally and intimately than we ever
can in this broken world.
He will wipe away
every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither
shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former
things have passed away.
Revelation chapter 21 verse 4-5
The only question which remains to be answered
is, “Will you be there?”. Read on.
