Doctrine 21 : The New Heaven and the New Earth: God’s Ultimate Plan for Redemption
What does the Bible say about the new heaven and the new earth? Why do we need them and when will they come? In this blog post, we will explore these questions and see what God has promised for his people in the future.
The Bible teaches that the current heaven and earth are corrupted by sin and will be destroyed by fire at the end of the age (2 Peter 3:10-13). The present creation is groaning and longing for the day of redemption, when God will make all things new (Romans 8:18-25). The new heaven and the new earth are part of God's plan to restore his original intention for creation, which was to display his glory and to dwell with his people in perfect harmony (Isaiah 65:17-25; Revelation 21:1-5).
The new heaven and the new earth are not separate realms, but one integrated reality. The new heaven is not a spiritual place where we go when we die, but a physical place where God will come down to live with us (Revelation 21:2-3). The new earth is not a different planet, but a renewed and transformed version of the current earth, where God's will is done and his kingdom is fully manifested (Revelation 21:24-27). The new heaven and the new earth are the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, that through him all nations will be blessed and inherit the land (Genesis 12:1-3; Galatians 3:29).
The Hope of the New Heaven and the New Earth in Times of Trouble
The new heaven and the new earth are also the ultimate destination of God's people. Those who belong to Christ will be resurrected and given glorified bodies that are fit for the new creation (1 Corinthians 15:35-58). They will enjoy God's presence, worship him, serve him, and reign with him forever (Revelation 22:3-5). They will also experience no more pain, sorrow, death, or evil, for God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and make everything new (Revelation 21:4-5).
The new heaven and the new earth are not yet here, but they are already guaranteed by God's word and power. God has given us a glimpse of them through his Son Jesus Christ, who is the firstborn from the dead and the heir of all things (Colossians 1:15-20). Jesus has inaugurated the new creation by his death and resurrection, and he will consummate it when he returns in glory (Revelation 19:11-16). Until then, we are called to live in hope and anticipation of what God has prepared for us, and to participate in his mission of making all things new (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
May the lord give us understanding of his word.

Doctrine 22 : Hell
Welcome to the last article in the doctrine series that has been on for some time now, I pray you shall be blessed, and your heart touched by this doctrine review on hell! I don't think I am wrong to say that, this should be and is the most dreaded place that we have ever heard of, and we wouldn't even want our enemies to go there if you have any, as a Christian, but even as fearful and scary this place is, most Christians don't still live the life they are meant to live to really avoid this place, it is as if we sometimes forget that this place actually exists and that any little sin can actually land you there.
We tend to ignore the things of the kingdom, skip the designated times we have set to fellowship with God, and to abide in his presence and basically focus on things of the world instead of things of the word, we tend to set our affection on mundane things of this world that will later fade away or pass, and not on things that will last for everlasting and the treasures in heaven that God has commanded us to set our affection on, let's try our best to remember that there is a place called Hell, where a person who enters there will be there for eternity which has no end,
Now, hell is the place for sinners and not just sinners but people who may have been Christians but have either committed sins on the way and had set their affections on things on earth and may have drifted from the will of God and His commandments, one way or the other. I think the most important thing to note is that there is no going out from this dreaded place the soul of this person will be doomed forever in a place of everlasting condemnation and contempt and everlasting separation from God, the torture, suffering and horrors of hell are no joke and is not a fictional place or a metaphor, HELL IS REAL!!!!!
So, are you a Christian? then hold fast to the faith that was once delivered to you and work out your salvation with fear and trembling, pursue holiness, strive to be the one God wants you to be, and the do the work of evangelism,
(Jude 1:3b,Hebrews 12:14,Philippians 2:14.)save those around you from this horrible and everlasting place, so you can help them and bring them into the kingdom of God and you will be rewarded for it, and also to prevent their blood from being on your hands as the lord is looking for a spotless and stainless church when He comes to carry his people home,
And are you there and you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ make sure that you surrender your life to him today, so that you can be saved from sin and delivered from this dreadful place that no man would want to go, Accept Jesus into your life now by following the steps below.
Accept Jesus as your lord and Saviour.
Believe that Jesus came to die for your sins.
Confess your sins to God.
Decide to follow Jesus and Ask for grace daily to live a holy life.
Join a bible believing church.
