The central theme of the song "Making All Things New" is rooted in the redemptive promise of God found in Revelation 21. The lyrics echo the victorious proclamation, "The one who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my child" (Revelation 21:7, NIV). This declaration is reinforced with the vision of a new beginning, where God states, "I am making everything new!" (Revelation 21:5, NIV). Let us look at what the Word of God says.
The Book of Revelation, penned by the apostle John, is a prophetic vision given to him while exiled on the island of Patmos. This particular chapter, Revelation 21, finds its place toward the culmination of the divine narrative of restoration. John describes a new heaven and a new earth, signifying the final purging of all corruption and the full establishment of God's kingdom. The circumstances are most crucial, as John conveys hope and assurance amid persecution and tribulation. The message is directed to the early Christians, yet it reverberates throughout the ages to believers today, urging perseverance and promising divine inheritance.
Let us examine two important Greek words in this context:
1. Overcome (νικάω - nikaō): This word connotes a triumphant victory attained through persistent struggle and conflict. In biblical terms, overcoming signifies prevailing over sin, temptation, and the world through faith in Jesus. It is not merely enduring but conquering and having dominion over adversity.
2. New (καινός - kainós): Used here, it doesn't mean new in the sense of timing but rather new in quality and kind. It is a newness of the unprecedented order, indicating a transformation far superior to the original state.
Understanding these words magnifies the promise of God’s transformative power and the victory awaiting those who persist in faith and align themselves with His purposes.
The song's lyrics are deeply interwoven with biblical promises and eschatological truths. Let us break them down:
To walk in the reality of these truths, certain actionable steps must be taken:
1. Persevere in Faith: Hebrews 10:36 urges perseverance so that we may receive what God has promised. This is not passive endurance but active engagement with God’s Word and Spirit.
2. Cultivate Intimacy with God: Seek relationship over ritual, drawing near as His beloved child. Pursue prayer and worship fervently.
3. Engage in Spiritual Warfare: Recognize the enemy’s strategies and resist through intercession, the proclamation of Scripture, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
4. Live in Expectation of Renewal: Let hope anchor your soul. View life through the lens of eternity, trusting God's renewing work both now and in the age to come.
Proclamation:
In the authority of God’s Word, I declare that I am an overcomer in Christ Jesus. I inherit the promise of eternal life. God is my Father, and I am His child. He is making all things new in my life. I receive, without reservation, the living water He freely gives.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your unfailing promises. Empower me by Your Spirit to overcome every challenge and to walk in Your renewing power daily. Fill my heart with the hope of eternity and grant me strength to live as Your victorious child. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
