He promised “the renewal of all things,” including the earth you love, every precious part of it, and your own story (Matthew 19:28). The climax of the entire Bible takes place with these words: “I am making everything new!” (Revelation 21:5). A day of Great Restoration is coming. Not annihilation—restoration. That is the only hope powerful enough to be for us what God calls the anchor of the soul: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul” (Hebrews 6:19).
