The Renewal of All Things
Revelation 21:5-8
And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.…


I. THE NEED OF A COMPLETE MORAL RENEWAL. All visions of a political or economic millennium wreck themselves upon the obstinate fact of human depravity. With this, legislators, philosophers, and moralists have been found powerless to deal.

II. AN ADEQUATE POWER. "He that sitteth on the throne." He who created the human soul can renew it. Omnipotence rises up to work.

III. THE WONDER OF REGENERATION.

IV. THE SECRET OF "HOLDING OUT."

V. THE GREAT NEED OF THE CHURCH — a regenerate membership.

VI. THE ULTIMATE RENEWAL OF ALL OUTWARD THINGS — nations, nature.

(James C. Fernald.)
