WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

The book of Revelation is the exciting finale to an epic story for believers. It is the revelation that God will fulfill His promise to destroy sin once and for all and redeem His creation. It is the moment Jesus and Satan finally go head to toe (Genesis 3:15) and Jesus defeats evil, bringing everlasting joy and peace. For unbelievers, there is significant warning in the book of Revelation as sin and rejection of Christ will be punished eternally; however, reading the seven blessings of Revelation calls us all to reflect the goodness offered to all who will repent, turn to Christ for salvation, and take to heart the seven blessings in the book.

IMPLICATIONS FOR TODAY

Revelation reveals the judgment awaiting our sinful world. However, it also reveals the completion of God's plan to bring salvation to the world. Believers in Christ can take away two important lessons from this book. First, God will one day bring an end to the evil in the world and fulfill His wonderful promises of eternal life for those who follow Him. The ultimate defeat of Satan and all forces opposed to God, as well as the creation of a new heaven and new earth where there will be no more death or pain, assures believers of the eventual triumph of good and the fulfillment of God's promises. Second, we are called to tell everyone the good news of Christ so that they may take part in His promises and be spared from the judgment awaiting the unrepentant. This emphasizes the urgency and responsibility of believers to share the message of salvation, offering hope and redemption to all who will accept it before the final judgment.
