Where Righteousness Dwells
“But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells” – 2 Pet. 3:13
Ellicott says, “Righteousness has its home there; is not a wanderer and changeful guest, as on earth, therefore by righteousness must ye make yourselves worthy of entering therein.”
This is a promise worthy of our longing; where righteousness lives.
The Lord or the Net
“My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.” – Psa. 25:15

“For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.” – Heb. 2:16

“For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;” 2 Pet. 2:4
Has God Indeed Said?
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” – Gen. 3:1

Christ is our life.
To Bring Us To God
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God,” – 1 Pet. 3:18
Jesus died on the cross to bring us to God.

Without Jesus there is no way to God.
