Isaiah 65:20-25
Outline
Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days... the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed” (Isaiah 65:20 NIV).
The Scriptures clearly state that the present heaven and earth will be terminated one day to give way for a new heaven and a new earth. The new heaven arid earth will be devoid of the contamination of sin which characterised the old heaven and earth. In this new heaven and earth, there will be no untimely death (v. 20). Each member will reap the reward of his/her labour; each man’s/woman’s labour will be duly compensated while no one will take another man’s/woman’s place (vs. 21-23a). God will keep them from any form of misfortune because they are blessed by Him (v. 23b). God also promises accelerated answers to the prayers of the people (v. 24). All animals will be friendly with the people (v. 25).
The condition for partaking in the new heaven and earth is to be free from sin. You can also be a member of the new heaven and earth to enjoy the life God promises therein. You only need to get rid of sins in your life and get it right with God. Is this too much?
