The PromiseSample
A New Heaven and a New Earth
Listen to "A New Heaven and a New Earth":
Reflect
All of creation eagerly waits for this moment in time: the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise to return. Everything will be made right. Everything will be made new. And creation will return to its God-ordained design—as it was in the garden before sin entered the world.
It’s been a long road, and miles still lie ahead of us. But we can cling to this real and tangible hope and promise from our faithful God. That's what makes the long journey bearable. People from every nation, language and people group will finally live the way they were designed to live, bringing God glory and praise.
● Imagine the joy of heaven. What are you most looking forward to about being there?
Come, Lord Jesus. Return soon. I need You. The world needs You. I eagerly desire all things to be restored. But until that day, let me be faithful to live the way You designed. May I bring You glory with every breath in my lungs and be Your witness to the world. I love you, Lord. Amen.
