What will Christians do in the new heaven and earth? In Revelation 22, the apostle John considers that future time period and encourages believers today to live in light of that reality.

Today we bring you a special question-and-answer recording from Pastor Tom Pennington regarding his book, ""The Biblical View of Abortion: God’s Heart for Life in the Womb."" By deciding to make man in His own image, God Himself established the value of human life (Gen. 1:27). That sovereign, immutable decision makes abortion one of the greatest moral and ethical issues of our time. For the Christian, the only question about abortion that matters is: “What does the Bible say?

The Apostle John doesn't merely record visions of what is to come: he invites us into an eternal throne room, where Christ is exalted above all creation—worthy of our deepest worship, our highest praise, and our complete surrender.

According to Revelation 22, the apostle John exhorts all Christians to not only believe the doctrine of the Trinity but to worship God as a result. This crucial doctrine is foundational to the Christian faith—and as Pastor Tom will show us today, we as believers must regularly worship God because of His nature and to live faithfully and obediently in light of that glorious truth.

The book of Revelation confronts us with a powerful truth: complacency has no place in the life of a believer. As the final chapters of God's redemptive story unfold before our eyes, we're called not to passive waiting, but to active preparation. John's urgent message in Revelation 22 is clear—repent and believe in the One who is coming soon.

For those who've placed their faith in Christ, your debt is already paid in full. You'll stand uncondemned, justified, and receive God's gracious rewards. These eternal realities demand our attention, as Revelation 22 clearly demonstrates.

The apostle John warns that those who cling to sin and reject the one true God will face Him not as Savior, but as Judge. This sobering truth is why Revelation 22 urgently calls every professing believer to examine the authenticity of their faith before that final day arrives.

As believers, we're summoned to more than casual acknowledgment—we're called to complete submission to Scripture's authority. Yet John's warning carries a sobering edge: we must neither add to God's revealed Word nor subtract from its sacred truth.

Revelation 22 makes clear that Scripture is authoritative and that we, as Christians, must embrace and submit to its authority. But why is that? Because the Scripture is the product of God’s breath; in other words, because God has all authority, His written words come with the same authority.
