How can we apply "I am making everything new" in our daily lives? The Throne Speaks of Newness Revelation 21:5 — “And the One seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ Then He said, ‘Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.’ ” • Spoken by the Sovereign King; the promise carries absolute authority. • “Make” is present tense—an ongoing work, not merely future. • “All things” means nothing is outside His renewing reach: hearts, habits, relationships, even creation itself. Newness Already Begun: Our Identity in Christ • 2 Corinthians 5:17 — “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!” • Ezekiel 36:26 — “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you…” • The inner transformation is accomplished; we live from newness, not striving to create it. Cultivating Daily Renewal • Romans 12:2 — “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” • Lamentations 3:22-23 — “Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed… His mercies are new every morning…” • Isaiah 43:18-19 — “Do not call to mind the former things… Behold, I will do something new…” Practices That Showcase the New Creation • Scripture intake: read, meditate, memorize—truth reshapes thinking. • Confession and repentance: leave yesterday’s sin at the cross; travel light. • Spirit-led obedience: respond quickly—encourage, give, reconcile. • Community life: Colossians 3:10 depicts believers “being renewed” together; surround yourself with people who celebrate God’s work. • Hope-filled speech: let conversation echo future restoration—speak life, promise, possibility. Hope-Filled Anticipation of Complete Renewal • Revelation 21 guarantees a day when tears, death, and pain vanish. • Present setbacks become temporary when measured against coming glory. • Every choice to live the new way previews heaven on earth, turning ordinary moments into living postcards from the future kingdom.
