We have looked at
God’s design this week, the beauty of His creation, His loving design for our
lives and His beautiful picture of the unity of the church. This fallen world
will one day soon be brought to its end and the new heaven and the new earth
will be revealed. We wait in anticipation for our eternal home filled with joy,
wonder, peace and love. Peter wrote about this future awaiting us:
But in
keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new
earth, where righteousness dwells. So then, dear friends, since you are looking
forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless, and at
perfect peace with Him. 2 Peter 3:13-14
In Christ, we
remain at peace. Jesus has made each of us a new creation at the moment we
believed. We are justified (just as if we had never sinned) because of His
great sacrifice and death. His shed blood offers complete forgiveness. A new heaven
and a new earth await. In the meantime, remain at peace with the One of your
heart.
Father,
Remind us to be grateful for the creation around us and for
the new creation to come. We are Yours both now and forevermore. Please open
more hearts and minds to You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
