Lesson 3263

THE NEW JERUSALEM #8

Who are the residents of the New Jerusalem?

1. The Father and the Lamb of God are there (Revelation 21:22).

2. Angels are at the gates of this city of God (verse 12).

3.  And the city will be filled with God’s redeemed children.

In the Bible, the New Jerusalem is the righteous counterpart to that of evil Babylon (Revelation 17), destroyed by God’s judgment (Revelation 18).

The wicked had their city, and God has His. 

To which city do you belong? Babylon the Great or the New Jerusalem?

Abba Father, If we believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died and rose again and have asked You to save us by Your grace, then we are citizens of the New Jerusalem.

For You “raised [us] up with Christ and seated [us] with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6).  Thus we have “an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade” (1 Peter 1:4).
