Part 14: “Our Future Hope” (Revelation 21-22)

“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.” ~ 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NRSV)

“There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of heaven ridiculous by saying they do not want to spend eternity playing harps. The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grownups they should not talk about them.” ~ C.S. Lewis

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house….” ~ 1 Peter 2:5 (NIV)

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” ~ Romans 8:18 (NIV)

“…Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word, so as to present the church to himself in splendour, without a spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind.” ~ Ephesians 5:25-27 (NRSV)

“ Do not be conformed to this world (Lit. “ age ” ), but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God …. ” ~ Romans 12:2 (NRSV)

“ Do not go beyond what is written. ” ~ 1 Corinthians 4:6 (NIV)

“No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.” ~ Philippians 3:12-14 (NLT)
