Behold, I make all things NEW

[anna274]

Thanks to eaglesway,  I decided to again look at Behold, I make all things new...

and found five 5=grace-filled, ponderable Scriptures: 

Rev 21:5
And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new.  Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful and true.


OT

Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 58:8
Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness shall go before you[conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.


NT

Eph 2:15
By abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that He from the two might create in Himself one new man, so making peace.

2 Cor 5:17-18
Therefore if any person is in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); and the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away.  Behold, the fresh and new has come!

All things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].

Dear Anna, your post is so beautiful. I was reading it while looking at a very picturesque painting of flowing undulating meadows drifting downwards towards a tranquil lake. There are sail boats on the lake and butter flies and flowers as well as myriads of birds and trees with purple mountains reaching to the sky in the distance.


Behold! I make all things new again, I almost cried reading the Scriptures you posted.


2 Cor 5:17-18[/size]Therefore if any person is in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); and the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away.  Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Amen!! Amen!! Amen!!  :dsunny:


Love Always, Julie  :girlheart:

Dear Julie... you totally missed the absolute beautiful truth of the Scriptures I posted....   read again, Eph 2:15 ...   I, too, enjoy the beauties of nature... but there is no joy like the joy in the God of my salvation...

Touché Dear Anna, for you missed totally the Scripture I posted directly from your post  :girlheart:

2 Cor 5:17-18 Therefore if any person is in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); and the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away.  Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Anna, the new spiritual creature see's Fathers creation as it has never been seen through the eyes of the old. My metaphor was based on the fact that Father looked over all of His creation and saw that it was good. I now notice things where once I was to blind (preoccupied) to see, I hear things to. Oh Anna, it is wonderful seeing the same beauty and harmony as Father saw (well as close to it as we can)

I surely did not mean to railroad your thread......

Love Julie Always  :HeartThrob:

We have an awesome God. I just had a conversation with a E.T Believer and shared with him that the word "new" in Greek, means new in quality! And tossing the wicked in Hell doesnt change them into new in quality, or give them a new fresh opportunity as defined by the word!  :dsunny:
