What is true now?

Back to Study the Book of Second Corinthians

All of the elements of the believer’s personality have become new and all are of God.

God sees the believer’s personality as new, and we also shall see a new personality in ourselves if we keep seeking the Lord and following Him.

It is important to notice here that God does not make all new things, He makes all things new. There is a difference.

God is not doing away with us or with mankind and the world. Rather, He is bringing Christ into us now, and in the future He will bring Christ into saved mankind throughout the world. God is transforming the creation by filling it with Christ. All who believe and receive will be saved and transformed. All who refuse and rebel will be destroyed.

The kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdom of Christ. The Glory of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

It is absolutely true that the old world, including the present earth and the heaven, will pass away. But then there will brought into existence a new heaven (sky) and a new earth. The point is, the Lord is not making all different things, but the things we are accustomed to are being made new in Christ. This means all that is to be saved is being brought down to death and then raised again in Christ.
