How do we prepare our hearts for the coming new world?
Answered in 1 source
We prepare our hearts by focusing on Christ and setting our affections on heavenly things rather than earthly desires.
Preparing for the new world involves a conscious effort to cultivate a heart that yearns for Christ and eternal things. In Colossians 3:1-2, believers are instructed to set their minds on things above. By engaging with the Word of God and in prayer, we gain understanding and align our priorities with God's kingdom. This means recognizing the temporal nature of our current lives and resisting the pull of materialism and sin. As we grow in our faith and understanding of the promises of God, our affections will naturally shift towards the anticipated joys of the new creation, enabling us to live faithfully in the present.
