The New Jerusalem: Blessed Hope with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

The sermon describes the arrival of the new heavenly city, where God will dwell with humanity, removing all tears, death, mourning, crying, and pain, as God makes all things new and offers the water of life to the thirsty. This glorious future is contrasted with a list of disqualifying sins, beginning with cowardice, which ultimately represent a failure to love God and neighbor, urging listeners to repent and come to Christ for salvation. The practical takeaway is to recognize and repent of sin, as these are addressed in the letters to the churches, allowing one to partake in the new Jerusalem and be God's child rather than face the second death.
