本周，魏泰德牧师总结了基督复临安息日会28条基本信仰的这一系列视频。因此，在这个视频中，他谈到了新天新地，我们的第28条基本信仰的主题。

在上一集中，我们讨论了千禧年和罪恶的终结，特别是关于罪恶和罪人将如何被毁灭，以及地球将如何被净化。

说到这，使徒约翰看见新耶路撒冷降在地上说：“我听见有大声音从宝座出来说：‘看哪，神的帐幕在人间。他要与人同住，他们要作他的子民； 神要亲自与他们同在，作他们的 神。 神要擦去他们一切的眼泪，不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭号、疼痛，因为以前的事都过去了。’坐宝座的说：‘看哪，我将一切都更新了。’又说：‘你要写上，因这些话是可信的，是真实的。’”（启示录21:3-5）

多么美丽的地方啊!想象一下，当整个地球恢复到它完美无罪的状态时会是什么样子。

基督复临安息日会基本信仰第28条是这样描述的：“在义人所居住的新地之中，上帝会为蒙赎之人预备永远的家乡，并一个享受永生、爱、喜乐，及在祂面前学习的完美的环境。因为在这里，上帝会亲自与祂的子民同住。痛苦与死亡都会成为过去。善恶之间的大斗争要结束，不再有罪恶。宇宙万物，有生命之物与无生命之物，都会宣扬上帝就是爱。祂会施行统治，直到永远。”

在新的地球上，我们将有永恒的时间去学习、发现新事物、成长，并与圣经中的英雄们共度时光，当然也包括耶稣本人。在这里，将不再有痛苦、苦难、悲伤、仇恨、死亡和其他罪的后果。那里只有和平、快乐、幸福、爱和一切美好的事物。

宇宙的全部宝藏都要开启，以供上帝所救赎的子民研究。他们不再受必死亡之身体的捆绑，却要展开不知疲倦的翅膀，一直飞翔到天外的诸世界，──那些世界上的居民曾看见这个世界上人类的祸患并为之忧伤惊惧，也曾因听到世人得救的喜讯而欢唱。那时地上居民的心中要充满莫可言宣的快乐，与那些从来没有犯罪的生灵共享喜乐和智慧。他们要分享知识与聪明的宝藏，就是那世世代代因思念上帝的手段而得的收获。他们要以清晰的目光观察创造物的荣美，──就是千千万万的太阳、星辰和天体，都环绕着上帝的宝座，在指定的轨道上运行。在万物之上从最小到最大的，都写有创造主的尊名，无不显示祂丰盛的权能。

在《善恶之争》678页，她继续道：“永恒的岁月要带来有关上帝和基督的更丰盛更光荣的启示。知识是怎样发展，照样，爱心、敬虔、和幸福也要增进不已。人越认识上帝，就越要饮佩祂的品德。当耶稣向人阐明救恩的丰盛，以及祂与撒但的大斗争中所有的惊人成就时，得赎之民便要以更热切的忠诚事奉祂，并以更热烈的喜乐弹奏手中的金琴，亿万的声音要一同歌颂赞美。”

你想成为赞美中的一员吗?上帝渴望给我们每个人拯救和永恒的礼物。你已经把你的心和你的生命交托给祂了吗?祂现在正邀请你这么做。 想要了解更多圣经中关于新天新地的内容，请访问www.adventist.org/the-new-earth/。

This week, Pastor Ted Wilson concludes the video series on the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. As such, in this video, he talks about the new earth, the subject of our twenty-eighth fundamental belief.

In the previous episode, we talked about the millennium and the end of sin, particularly about how sin and sinners will be destroyed and how the earth will be cleansed.

Speaking of that, the Apostle John saw the New Jerusalem come down and settle on earth, saying, “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.’ And He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new’” (Revelation 21:3-5).

What a beautiful place! Imagine what it will be like when the whole earth will be restored back to its perfect and sinless state.

The Seventh-day Adventist Fundamental Belief #28 describes it this way: “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.”

On the new earth, we will have eternity to learn, discover new things, grow, and spend time with the heroes of the Bible, including Jesus Himself, of course. Here, there will be no more pain, suffering, sorrow, hatred, death, and other consequences of sin. There will only be peace, joy, happiness, love, and all good things.

Aside from that, “all the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God’s redeemed. Unfettered by mortality, they wing their tireless flight to worlds afar—worlds that thrilled with sorrow at the spectacle of human woe and rang with songs of gladness at the tidings of a ransomed soul. With unutterable delight, the children of earth enter into the joy and the wisdom of unfallen beings. They share the treasures of knowledge and understanding gained through ages upon ages in contemplation of God’s handiwork. With undimmed vision, they gaze upon the glory of creation—suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling the throne of Deity. Upon all things, from the least to the greatest, the Creator’s name is written, and in all are the riches of His power displayed” (Ellen White, The Great Controversy, page 677).

On page 678, she continues, “And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. As knowledge is progressive, so will love, reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will be their admiration of His character. As Jesus opens before them the riches of redemption and the amazing achievements in the great controversy with Satan, the hearts of the ransomed thrill with more fervent devotion, and with more rapturous joy they sweep the harps of gold; and ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of voices unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise.”

Do you want to be part of that mighty chorus of praise? God longs to give each of us the gift of salvation and eternity. Have you given your heart and recommitted your life to Him? He is inviting you now.
