It emphasizes that Jesus's completed work, signified by the phrase “it is done,” anticipates a future where God dwells with His people in a new heaven and a new earth, a glorious city descending from heaven. The message underscores the individual and profound relationship believers will have with God as son, contrasting this with the stark reality of eternal judgment for those who reject Christ. Ultimately, the sermon calls for believers to embrace the transformative power of grace, to overcome sin, and to eagerly anticipate the day when all things are made new and the promise of eternal life is fully realized.
