In the sermon on Revelation 21:5-7 delivered by Fred Evans, the main theological topic centers around the theme of God's grace as it culminates in the new creation. The preacher articulates five key points: the announcement, assurance, accomplishment, and abundance of grace, alongside the promise of God's perpetual presence. Specifically, he references Scripture passages such as Ezekiel 36:24-27 and 2 Corinthians 5:17, which support the doctrine of regeneration and new creation in Christ, emphasizing that believers have been made new through the work of Jesus. The practical significance of this message lies in the assurance it provides believers regarding their salvation, grounded in the finished work of Christ and the transformative power of grace that brings assurance of eternal life and new identity as children of God.
“Behold, I make all things new. This is surely the heart of all the sons of God for Jesus Christ to come and fulfill all of these promises.”
“The salvation of sinners then is the work of God alone. It is a work of grace and not based on merit.”
“He did not make salvation possible; otherwise, it wouldn't be finished. If He died for everyone and then just left it up to you, then it's not done.”
“For a believer, the old man of sin is still present, which is why we need constant assurance from God's Word.”
