All Things New
Christ will make everything new again
.
Indeed “the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
.
There, in the “New Jerusalem,” we shall each have “a new name” and sing “a new song.” We shall have new bodies, “fashioned like unto his glorious body,” and a new dwelling place, prepared by Christ Himself among the “many mansions” in His “Father’s house.”
.
And all the old and dying things will be completely and forever gone.
“There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
“And he that sat upon the throne
said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful.” - (Revelation 21:5)
The coming of a new year is a good
time to consider that glorious time to come when Christ will make everything
new again.
In the present age,
all things “shall wax old as doth a
garment” (Hebrews 1:11) under the bondage of the universal
law of decay and death; indeed “the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22).
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new
heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13).
There, in the “New Jerusalem,” we shall each have “a new name” and sing “a new
song” (Revelation 21:2; 2:17; 5:9).
We shall have new bodies, “fashioned like unto his glorious body” (Philippians 3:21), and a new
dwelling place, prepared by Christ Himself among the “many mansions” in His “Father’s
house” (John 14:2).
And all the old and dying things will
be completely and forever gone.
“There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
“And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to
Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and
gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isaiah 35:10).
What a “Happy New Year” that will be!
In the meantime, we have His “new covenant” and have each been made “a new creature” in Christ (Hebrews 12:24; Galatians 6:15).
Since all His words “are true and faithful,” we know His
promises are sure.
Therefore, already, “old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” through faith in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to how the universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has planned for us.After 50 years of ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the context of biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists to conduct scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history, and then to educate the public both formally and informally through professional training programs, through conferences and seminars around the country, and through books, magazines, and media presentations.
