Something to look forward to

“Looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!” (2 Peter 3:12-13 NASB)

The old heaven and earth pass away and are replaced

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.” (Rev. 21:1 NASB)

Righteousness will dwell there

“But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.” (2 Peter 3:18 NASB)

The former things will not be remembered

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.” (Is. 65.17 NASB)

There will no longer be any death, mourning, crying or pain

“And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

Your offspring and name shall endure

“For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me," declares the LORD, "So your offspring and your name will endure.” (Is. 66:22 NASB)

Let us show gratitude to God with reverence and awe

“Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe.” (Heb. 12:28 NASB)
