READ – Revelation 21:1-6 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John,[a] saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me,[b] “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done![c] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
SOAP – Revelation 21:4
In the new heaven and earth, God will dwell with His people. With this new earthly presence of God’s joy, love, and peace, the worldly order of things must pass away. Therefore the pain, sorrow, and sadness of this earth will no longer exist. This glimpse into the future gives believers hope and strength to live boldly for God today.
Are you struggling with the uncertainty and hopelessness of life today? Believers must cling to the truths in the Bible so that we can withstand the temptation to lose hope. Our future with God is real, while exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ever dream or imagine.
Father God, I thank You for the promise of a life spent with You. Lord, strengthen me when I become overcome by the heartache I experience. Help me to focus on Your promises in Your Word so that I will not lose hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
