Official Assembly of God Statement of Faith #16-We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and new earth wherein dwells righteousness.
In the book of Revelation, where John describes his visions given of God, there is a picture of the New Jerusalem coming down from above as the home of the redeemed. At the close of the Millennium the saints will be ushered into our new home where we will live eternally.
Some of the characteristics of this new home will include:
It will be a place of:
beauty and light-Rev. 21:23-24
knowledge 1 Cor. 13:12
rest from toil and tumult Rev. 14:13
meanigful service Rev. 7:15 and 22:3
joy Rev. 21:4
Wonderful fellowship Heb. 12:22-23
eternal Rev. 21:27 and 22:3-5
There will be no:
Satan, demons or his followers Rev. 20:10
Death, sorrow, crying, pain Rev. 21:4
Night Rev 21:23 and 25 and 22:5
defilement, abomination or lies Rev 21:27
curse Rev 22:3
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, " Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away...To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my child."
