Creation to New Creation

In the beginning God created — the origin of all things from the eternal Creator.

God saw everything He had made, and behold, it was very good — creation in its original perfection.

The curse: The ground is cursed because of sin — creation subjected to futility.

Creation waits with eager longing — the whole cosmos anticipates redemption.

God promises: 'Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth' — the prophetic hope.

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation — the renewal begins in individuals.

Christ is the firstborn of all creation — He is both Creator and Redeemer.

We look for new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells.

John sees the new heaven and new earth — the first things have passed away.

'Behold, I make all things new' — God's final word on His cosmic renewal project.
