“Behold, I Am Making All Things New!” Rev 21:1-7.
Yes, Lord is making new things in our life. We usually get attracted by the words "New/Improved" which we see in products and in advertisements. Those doesn't guarantee the best for us. But what God has for us is so good that it will exceed, far exceed our expectations.
When we talk about new things, we tend to imagine a brand new house, vehicle or job. Some even imagine of a new spouse. But what Lord promises is, He is going to make us a new creation, restore every hard situation, every broken relationship, every sickness and pain will go. Bible says in Isaiah 43:18, "I am doing a new thing". When we read this submit to Lord and allow him to make us a new creation.
The New Creation
Lord is going to make us spiritually and morally new and glorious. That is what God promises when he makes all things new. We will be made spiritually and morally new, not just partially but wholly.
Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5 we read, “If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” God will make us spiritually and morally beautiful for our final marriage with his Son. As John says in Revelations 21:2, "And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." That's the first way the newness is coming. When God makes all things new, he makes us new spiritually and morally, he makes us new physically, and then he makes the whole creation new so that our environment fits our perfected spirits and bodies.
The New Relationship
John tells us about this in the book of Revelations, "I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them." Yes now we see Him in sprit and soon we will be seeing Him face to face as said in the book of Revelations 22:4, "They shall see his face and his name shall be on their foreheads." Lord is restoring the relationship we have with Him and preparing us to see Him. In the Mathew wrote in his book, "Blessed are the pure in heart," Jesus said, "for they shall see God." It's a promise. Something greater is coming for all of us in our relation with God.
Yes, the new has already come, the newness of Christ has come into your life. And the new is still coming. It’s on the way, and we can look forward to it. When Lord makes all things new, He will make us spiritually and morally as pure as flawless crystal, He will give us a body like the body of His glory, He will renovate all creation to take all futility and evil and pain out of it, and finally He himself will come to us and let us see His face.
“Heaven and earth will pass away,” Jesus says, “but my words will never pass away.” This old life / our old self is passing away, but there is a whole new world coming! You can count on it! For our Lord has given us his word: “Behold, I Am Making All Things New!”
