It’s a simple idea that changes everything: what if it isn’t heaven, but a new earth, that is our eternal destination. That everything has always been about being made new, and not simply escaping?
John Eldredge takes this revolutionary idea, and explored the impact that has on life ands faith today. That we should live for the renewal of everything; the world, our being, and everything which colours our existence.
Imagine if renewal was what was ahead.
How would that change how you lived today?
When we know the a good thing is ahead, we begin to see the present differently. The decoration at home never seem brighter that the night before Christmas; no day as bright as the one before a wedding; no food as appealing right before it is served. Expectation of a good thing changes what is already around you. Knowing that God has complete renewal in plan would also change how you lived your faith. Rather than a mysterious heaven that we know very little about, and that exists mostly in popular ideas of clouds and gates, we can look forward to a renewal of everything.
A day when all things will be made new.
In his signature warm style, and passion for faith and God’s creation, John Eldredge writes of a hope for tomorrow and a better today. A message of hope for the ages.
New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God's promise for a new heaven and a new earth.
This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new."
More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19).
Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.
