Let’s be honest—Revelation can feel a little intense. But even in all its mystery, this verse gives you something simple and powerful to hold onto: renewal is coming.
John describes a vision of a brand-new heaven and earth, a fresh beginning untouched by the pain and chaos of this world. And that little line—“no longer any sea”—says a lot. In the Bible, the sea often represents fear, division and disorder. So when John says it’s gone, it’s like God saying, “No more of that. No more fear. No more brokenness. No more separation.”
That promise isn’t just for later—it’s meant to give you hope now. Whatever you’re facing, it’s not the end of your story. God’s not done. He’s in the business of making all things new, including you.
So, how do you live in light of that promise today? You start by holding onto hope. You keep showing up in your faith, even when life feels messy. You choose healing over bitterness, peace over conflict and love over fear. Every act of forgiveness, every moment of kindness, every step toward justice—it all matters. It all echoes the renewal that’s coming.
Look around your life. What needs to be made new? A relationship? A mindset? A broken part of your heart? Ask God to start His renewing work in you and through you. Because the new heaven and new earth aren’t just a distant future—they’re a reminder that God’s redemptive power is already on the move.
