Answered in 1 source
God's promises about the new creation are confirmed in Scripture, specifically Revelation 21, where He asserts the truth and faithfulness of His words.
The truth of God's promises regarding the new creation is grounded in His character and authority as revealed in Scripture. In Revelation 21:5, God proclaims, 'These words are true and faithful,' emphasizing that His declarations will come to pass. Throughout the Bible, God's faithfulness is repeatedly underscored; He is sovereign and His plans cannot be thwarted (Isaiah 46:10). This assurance is vital for Christians, as it provides hope for what will be—a perfect communion with God devoid of pain, sorrow, and death. The new creation is thus the culmination of God's redemptive plan inspired by His sovereign grace.
