"And he that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for
these words are true and faithful." (Revelation
21:5)
The coming of a new year
is a good time to consider that glorious time to come when Christ will make
everything new again.
In
the present age, all things "shall
wax old as doth a garment" (Hebrews 1:11).
All
things are presently under the bondage of the universal law of decay and death;
indeed "the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now" (Romans 8:22).
"Nevertheless
we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13).
There,
in the "new
Jerusalem," we shall each have "a new name" and sing "a
new song" (Revelation 21:2; 2:17; 5:9).
We
shall have new bodies, "fashioned
like unto his glorious body" (Philippians 3:21).
And
we shall have a new dwelling place, prepared by Christ Himself among the "many mansions" in His "Father's
house" (John 14:2).
And
all the old and dying things will be completely and
forever gone. "There shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
"And
the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and
everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and
sorrow and sighing shall flee away" (Isaiah 35:10).
What a "Happy New
Year" that will be!
In
the meantime, we have His "new
covenant" and have each been made "a new creature" in Christ (Hebrews 12:24; Galatians 6:15).
Since
all His words "are
true and faithful," we know His
promises are sure.
Therefore,
already, "old things
are passed away; behold all things are become new" through faith in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Are you struggling with a big
decision or wondering how your eternal future will play out?
Why not talk to the God of the
universe and let Him work in your behalf?
He says, “I will
instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my
eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).
Ask God to show you what to do.
Pray the following prayer:
“Heavenly Father,
I admit that I am a sinner
and my sins have separated me from You. I now want to turn away from my past
sinful life and begin a new life with You.
Please forgive me. I now
receive your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my Lord. I believe
and confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the
dead.
I want to receive all that
Jesus Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your Word says, ‘Whosoever shall
call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Romans 10:13).
I believe and confess that
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes unto the
Father, but by Him.
Lord Jesus, I pray and ask
You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I thank You that you have
given me eternal life, and according to Your Word, I am born again.
Heavenly Father, thank You
for the gift of the Holy Spirit Who is in me now. I surrender my life to You. I
promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

lyrics
And they sing the song of Moses,
the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb,
saying great, great and marvelous
are your works, Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are your ways, Lord
O King of the saints,
Who shall not fear you o Lord?
the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb,
saying great, great and marvelous
are your works, Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are your ways, Lord
O King of the saints,
Who shall not fear you o Lord?
Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
