Introduction
The world is full of brokenness, suffering, and decay. Every day, we experience the effects of sin—pain, loss, and imperfection. But in Revelation 21:5, God makes a powerful promise:
“Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:5, ESV)
This statement is more than just a comforting thought—it is a divine declaration of complete renewal. But what does it mean that God will make all things new? In this study, we will explore four key aspects of this renewal:
- A New Creation – The Restoration of the Physical World
- A New People – The Transformation of God’s Saints
- A New Relationship – Forever Dwelling with God
- A New Purpose – Eternal Joy and Worship in His Presence
I. A New Creation – The Restoration of the Physical World

- 2 Peter 3:13, ESV – “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”
- Isaiah 65:17, ESV – “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered.”
