“All Things New” Revelation 21:1-8 Bible Study 08/30/15

In understanding the flow of the book of Revelation, one can view chapters 4-5 (the Person) and chapters 21-22 (the Place) as bookends of end-times events. This morning, as we focus on Revelation 21, we see the progression from judgment to joy and from terror to triumph. The final destination of the believer is a new creation that springs into being at the command of God. He promises to make all things new. His promise to make all things new eternally should make a powerful impact on your life presently.

I. Consider the content of God’s promise

-a new creation: freed from imperfection (1-2)
-a new confirmation: faith becomes sight (3)
-a new condition: former things pass away (4-5)

II. Consider the proper present response

-patiently endure
-urgently evangelize
-personally examine (6-8)
-fervently exalt
