A New Earth

Something to think about.

A New Earth

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13

I don't think anyone disputes the earth will eventually cease to sustain life. There are differences of opinion on how the eventuality will occur but not on its occurrence.  The Bible says that God Himself will bring about the end of the world. It also says that He will create a new world and a new heaven. It will not be a rebirth it will not be something that comes out of the ashes of the old. It will be something entirely different because it will be a place of righteousness. Any and all forms of sin will not be present there even the remembrance of sin will not be known.   
Only righteousness will be allowed in this new heaven and new earth. Only those who by faith have been justified, sanctified and cleansed by the blood of Jesus will be allowed access. Since it is impossible to attain righteousness in any other way all who reject Christ not be there. Lets not complicated it. Let's not get caught up in laws, rituals traditions and old habits. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life." Our eternal future is wrapped up in this one man. God himself removed every hindrance to salvation by offering His son as payment for our sin. So we may live forever with Him in the new heavens and earth.

"Strangers on Earth"

Something to think about.

"Strangers on Earth"

“All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.” Hebrews 11:13 NIV

Though this verse is speaking of the patriarchs of the Old Testament, it is also talking about us. We are the people who must live by faith. We can only see the promises from a distance. We cannot take hold of eternity of our own volition or in our own power. But we see it, taste it, expect it as a reality waiting to be materialized. By faith we see the New Earth and the New Jerusalem being birth in a place outside our present existence. Our place our eternal home where we will no longer be foreigners in a land not our own. We are citizens of the City of God.
