a. For God has promised it - 2Pe 3:13 b. And God cannot lie! - Tit 1:2; He 6:17-18 How then should we live in view of this promise? Hear the words of Peter... "Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;" - 2Pe 3:14
IN RELATION TO HEAVEN ITSELF...
1. Some believe it has nothing to do with heaven, but only the
church today
2. Many believe it to be a metaphor of heaven itself, in which we
will spend eternity
3. Yet the eternal dwelling place of the redeemed, the New
Jerusalem, is depicted as being separate from the present
dwelling place of God (i.e., heaven)
a. "...the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from
My God." - Re 3:12
b. "... the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God" - Re 21:2
c. "... the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God"
- Re 21:10
4. As depicted, the eternal destiny of the redeemed is...
a. Not our spending eternity with God in heaven (His current
dwelling place)
b. But God spending eternity with us in the New Jerusalem which
comes down out of heaven (His current dwelling place) - cf.
Re 21:2-3,22-23; 22:3-5
5. This eternal heavenly city, which comes down out of heaven, is
depicted in the context of the new heavens and a new earth - Re
21:1
a. Not in heaven itself, where God now dwells
b. But in a whole new order or spiritual state, where God will
dwell with us
