What, then is the young Christian to do? Is he powerless? Must he resort to stoicism, and make up his mind there is naught but a life of defeat before him? Certainly not! The first thing for him to do is to learn the humiliating truth that in himself he is “without strength.” It was here that Israel failed: when Moses made known to them the Law they boastfully declared “all that the Lord has said we will do and be obedient” (Exo 24:7). Ah! how little did they realize that “in the flesh there dwelleth no good thing.” It was here, too, that Peter failed: he was self-confident and boasted that “though all men be offended because of Thee, yet will I never be offended...though I should die with Thee, yet will I not deny Thee”—how little he knew his own heart. This complacent spirit lurks within each of us. While we cherish the belief we can “do better next time” it is evident that we still have confidence in our own powers. Not until we heed the Saviour’s words “without Me ye can do nothing” do we take the first step toward victory. Only when we are weak (in ourselves) are we strong. The believer still has the carnal nature within him, and he has no strength in himself to check its evil propensities, nor to overcome its sinful solicitation. But the believer in Christ also has another nature 111 From THE LIVE RAGGED EDGE RADIO BROADCAST/SHATTER LIVE TV WEBINAR RUSS DIZDAR © infinity, and that yields something of what heaven will be like! 1. Believers will experience the joy of a newly created environment unsullied by moral evil (Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:15). The eternal environment after the resurrection and Millennium is new—“a new heaven and a new earth” (2 Peter 3:13). The new world will be redeemed from the curse upon the present earth. There will be no physical darkness; the Lamb will be the light (Rev. 21:23-25; 22:5). In glorified bodies we will enjoy a restored and improved Eden, a place of pristine beauty and unbroken fellowship—a joyful existence with no pain, death, or sorrow (21:2-4). The new heaven and earth will provide an environment conducive to the most precious values we now know—just and loving relationships, fellowship, beauty, and significant activity. 2. Believers will enjoy the new Jerusalem, called by John Gilmore “the ultimate model city.” “Those cities which have been winning their fight over crime, crumbling housing, and declining quality education become known as ‘model cities.’ One city, devoid of detractions, perpetually clean, eternally non-threatening, will be the holy city. John called it ‘the new Jerusalem.’”132 Coming down from heaven, it owes its existence to the grace of God rather than the labors of men (Rev. 21:2). “Cities are more than masses of population, they are citadels for mutual safety, conduits of commercial enterprise, and centers of artistic and scientific creativity. The representation of heaven as a city was intended to suggest ‘intensity of life, variety of occupation, and closeness of relation to each other.’”133 The joy of heaven will be a group experience. With pain, sorrow, and suffering being eliminated, heaven’s joys will be undiluted and unending. The beatitudes of Jesus will be fulfilled. The pure will see God, the poor will possess the imperishable, the persecuted will have losses restored, the deprived will have immediate access to all parts of the renovated earth.134 In the heavenly city we will experience just and loving social relationships(continued)
