Notes
(See Saturday for authors.)
Living in the hope of Christ's imminent coming has an impact on all areas of life. The new heavens and new earth will be established in righteousness. Although we certainly expect the fulness of that restoration as a future reality, there is a real sense in which you can experience the benefits of being a new creature even today (2 Co. 5: 17; Eph. 4: 24; Col. 3: 10). As you keep the hope of the promise in view, you can truly grow in grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior.
