Behold, I Make All Things New (Rev 21:5) | Brown & Orange Orthodox Cross Alpha & Omega Background | Orthodox Christian HoodieAnd I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons

that a man lay down his life for his friends

and he healed them of their wounds

and took away the reproach from the sons of Israel

when I reflect upon this

as soon as we conquer the world

even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish

make with me a strong covenant
