Revelation 21:1-8
Outline
“Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them…” Revelation 21:3, NIV
In the new heaven and the new earth, the plan of God to fellowship with man will materialise. The God in His holiness will be able to have His reign and rule in the Holy City and dwell with people who are also holy.
Our time here is but for a while. The life here is bound to be terminated one day. Hebrews 9:27 affirms that there will be death after each person has lived his/her life here. It also records that death is not the end of the man rather it is a means through which each person returns to his/her Creator to give account of his/her stewardship on earth. This account of man determines thereafter what judgement each man/woman will receive. All mortals will appear before Gods presence where the judgement throne will be instituted and the Judge will be God Himself. Each will give account of his/her earthly activities. No one will be exempted regardless of his/her status while on earth. There shall be no partiality in the judgement that will be passed on each man/woman since the judgement will be based on the activities of each man or woman on earth. While the victorious — the saints will inherit eternal life, the sinners will be thrown into fiery lake of fire. Are you prepared for this day? If it comes now where will you spend your eternity?
