Question:
Dear Mr Lindstrom, I read in Revelation 21:27 and 22:3 that no evil will be permitted in God’s home on the new earth. My question: Hasn’t God already conquered and defeated all evil and placed satan in hell by the time God lives with us on the new earth? When our new earth is created, dosen’t it contain only the true beleivers in Christ? If not, please explain. Thanks Michelle
Answer:
Yes! You are right. This is telling us that only believers will enter the New Jerusalem. Believers are seen as righteous according to II Corinthians 5:21.
