Step Twenty-eight—The New Earth

Question: Why Does God Make Our Earth New? “On the new earth, in which righteousness dwells, God will provide an eternal home for the redeemed and a perfect environment for everlasting life, love, joy, and learning in His presence. For here God Himself will dwell with His people, and suffering and death will have passed away. The great controversy will be ended, and sin will be no more. All things, animate and inanimate, will declare that God is love, and He shall reign forever. Amen.”—Seventh-day Adventists Believe, p. 421. JTL28 2.1
