Revelation 22: Christ Restores Paradise

https://christrose.news/2025/01/revelation-22-christ-restores-paradise.html

Introduction

Revelation 22 concludes the Bible with the promise of restored paradise,
eternal blessings for the righteous, and Christ’s imminent return. The
river of life flows from God’s throne, bringing peace and purity (verse
1). The tree of life, yielding fruit in every season, assures you of
God’s unending provision and eternal health (verse 2). Sin’s curse is
removed, and you are invited to live in His perfect presence, serving
Him with joy and intimacy (verses 3-5). Christ’s exhortation to prepare
underscores the urgency of obedience, worship, and sharing the gospel
(verses 6-21).

Proposition

You should prepare for Christ’s return.

Reasons

Because God provides eternal blessings (verses 1-5).

The river of life symbolizes God’s sustaining presence, flowing directly
from His throne. This pure, life-giving water represents the fulfillment
of all His promises to you as His child. The tree of life, now
accessible to believers, assures you of God’s provision and care for
eternity. Its fruit for every season and leaves for healing signify
perfect health and abundant life. These blessings underscore the beauty
of serving God in a world free from sin and sorrow. You should prepare
for Christ’s return because He offers this perfect, eternal existence to
those who trust Him.

Because God warns against complacency (verses 6-11).

Christ’s words in verse 7 call you to keep the prophecy of this book,
emphasizing readiness. The angel confirms the truth of these words,
reminding you that prophecy demands action. Verse 11 starkly contrasts
the fates of the righteous and the wicked, highlighting that choices
made now carry eternal consequences. God’s warning is not an invitation
to despair but a call to perseverance. You should prepare for Christ’s
return by remaining vigilant, pursuing holiness, and rejecting the
complacency of the world.

Because Christ rewards the righteous (verses 12-15).

Christ declares in verse 12 that He is coming soon to repay everyone
according to their works. As the Alpha and Omega, He holds ultimate
authority to judge and reward. Verse 14 assures blessings for those who
wash their robes, symbolizing purification through His blood. In
contrast, verse 15 excludes the wicked, emphasizing that salvation is
for those who respond to His grace. This reminder should stir your heart
to evaluate your life, knowing that His judgment is perfect and His
reward is eternal. Prepare for Christ’s return by embracing His
righteousness and rejecting sin.

Because God offers you salvation (verses 16-17).

Christ invites you to come and take the water of life without cost
(verse 17). This call, extended through the Spirit and the bride, is an
open invitation to anyone who thirsts for salvation. It is a message of
hope and grace, reminding you that Christ’s sacrifice has secured your
place in eternity. You are urged not only to respond but also to share
this invitation with others. Preparing for Christ’s return means
accepting His free gift of salvation and leading others to do the same.

Because God preserves His Word (verses 18-19).

God warns against altering His Word, emphasizing its sufficiency and
authority. Adding to or taking from the prophecy invites judgment,
highlighting the need to trust and obey His revelation. This call to
reverence should lead you to treasure Scripture as God’s unchanging
truth. Preparing for Christ’s return involves studying His Word, obeying
its commands, and guarding its purity against false teachings.

Because Christ assures His return (verses 20-21).

Christ’s final promise, “Surely I am coming soon,” offers hope and
urgency. John’s response, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” reflects the
believer’s longing for His return. The benediction in verse 21 reassures
you of God’s grace, encouraging you to live in readiness and
anticipation. You should prepare for Christ’s return by aligning your
life with this hope, focusing on eternal priorities rather than
temporary distractions.

Invitation

The final words of Revelation ring with both warning and hope. They are
not mere echoes of an ancient text; they are the living voice of God
calling you to action today. My friend, Revelation 22 paints a glorious
picture of paradise restored—a place where the curse of sin is no more,
where God Himself dwells with His people, and where eternal blessings
flow like a river from His throne. But this chapter also issues a solemn
warning: without Christ, you are forever shut out of this glory.

Do you not hear the urgency in the words, “Behold, I am coming soon”
(verse 12)? Christ’s return is certain, and with it comes both reward
and judgment. If you stand outside His grace, you stand condemned
already. The list of those excluded from His holy city—those who love
lies, cling to idols, and embrace sin—reflects the condition of every
sinner apart from the saving work of Jesus Christ. Do not deceive
yourself into thinking you can delay your response. The time is near,
and the choices you make now will determine your eternal destiny.

But hear me: the same God who warns of judgment also invites you to
life. His words are full of grace: “Let the one who is thirsty come; let
the one who desires take the water of life without price” (verse 17).
What mercy is this! You who have spent your life laboring for
satisfaction in empty pursuits, come and drink freely from the fountain
of eternal life. There is no price you can pay, for Christ has paid it
all. He bore your sin on the cross, dying in your place, and He rose
again to give you life. His death was no mere gesture; it was a
substitutionary atonement, fully satisfying God’s righteous demands for
your sin.

Will you not come? Do you not see the kindness of the Savior, His arms
outstretched, His voice calling, “Come”? Turn from your sin, my friend.
Change your mind about your rebellion against God. Trust wholly in
Christ, who alone can save. Call upon His name, and He will not cast you
out. There is no other refuge from the storm of God’s wrath, but in
Christ, there is peace, forgiveness, and eternal joy.

Believers, Revelation 22 also speaks to you. The river of life and the
tree of life call you to marvel at the abundance of God’s grace. Are you
living in light of eternity? Are you praying for the lost, interceding
with fervor, and sharing the gospel with boldness? The time is short,
and the fields are white for harvest. Do not grow weary in doing good,
for the reward is coming. The promises of this chapter are yours—eternal
communion with God, joy in His presence, and the privilege of reigning
with Him forever.

Let us live with purpose, my friends. Let us pray with passion, worship
with awe, and proclaim with urgency, “Come, Lord Jesus!” Until He comes,
may we hold fast to His Word, shine as lights in this dark world, and
labor with joy for His glory. Amen.

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God
raised Him from the dead?

That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death
penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.

On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).

God is God in all His Being. All the glory is His, for He is all glory.

Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord. John
10:30 I and Father are one. If you can't see that the Lord Jesus is the
everlasting Father you are not born again and can't see the Kingdom of God.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt
are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything, He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance (voice, the Person) of
God. When you find Him you have found the author."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do; it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free, and free indeed with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

"The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence or proof is to be found."

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not so that a book could pass
through it for a sinner to play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such
is the love of God."

"The definition of an atheist: a man full of bluster and bullshit in his
meaninglessness pretending he is the meaning of life."

"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.

"What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in
order to explain the existence of existence."

"Unless you do all because He is who He is, all your religion is in vain."

"Every man is subject to God; He judges every man, and He is reality.
What a gift in a fallen world!"

"Love MUST be a choice or it is nothing but a law!"

"Why were all men born sinners? So that God could reveal Himself, so
that we would behold the glory of God, and that we should bring forth
the glory of God"

"God does not and will not arbitrate for any man to love Him! If God
isn't everything to you, He is nothing to you where the rubber meets the
road."

"It is the unforgivable sin not to love God with all your heart, soul,
and mind. What do you have that is lasting? It is not so much being
punished; it is what you are left with."

"Love isn't worth anything without first a free will choice for God to
birth it in a man."

"The point of salvation: desperation. Anything less than that is
self-righteousness."

"A sinner is not a believer in God; a sinner is a believer in sin."

"A piece of dirt is not the promised land; that is only a reflection.
The promised land is knowing Me, says the Lord."

"It is all about God or it is all about idolatry."

"The Lord Jesus is coming soon. He has always come soon."

"There is no revolving door of self-worship in a son of God's life!"

"There is no such thing as random!"

"You can't truly love without it being with all your heart."

"No one can see God without their whole heart. Unless you can see God,
you know nothing."

"You can't learn God; God has to reveal Himself to you."

"No sinner is sinless in any way."

"Only God is life; only the Kingdom of God of His "Nature" is life."

"What you believe is just a leaning on your own understanding; faith is
a leaning on the one you have chosen to trust."

"God uses the "letter" to crucify a man and raise him from the dead."

"Not fearing God is sheer stupidity for sinners."

"Self-righteousness is any exclusion of God in your heart, because any
exclusion reveals that you think more about yourself than what you
really are."

"Atheism: "The claim that life received from itself."

"But remember this: always, absolutely always, all the glory is the
Lord's and His alone, and anyone who takes any credit for anything, you
know, instantly, he is not what he pretends to be and is a false prophet."

"That light had to bear (bears all things) the darkness for us, but that
light did not ever become darkness."

"You must reach beyond the bible that tells you about Him, and into your
daily life to find Him in Person. He's there."

"What is wrong with Christendom? False understanding based on compromise."

"It is not in man to love his enemies. And if he tries, he is walking in
a lie and trying to raise himself up to the level of God."

"God has to be quiet now; we have our bible. Well, then, who is going to
speak?"

"It is all about the Lord in His glory and whether a man loves Him with
all for who He is."

"A son of God became the bible when he was born again because the Holy
Spirit took up residence in his heart as Lord."

"The veil of the temple was not rent in twain so that a bible could pass
as God."

"It is dreadfully difficult for religious people to repent of all they
are as they have spent their whole lives reinforcing to themselves that
they are "good sinners."

Revelation 22 concludes the Bible with the promise of restored
paradise, eternal blessings for the righteous,

to lie and contradict it.)

the wages of sin is death.
You think that on you death your sin state will be miraculously
transformed on the basis of a claim you make in your sin.

No I don't, truth-devoid liar. The sin nature will not be transformed,
ever. It will be eradicated in glory (Romans 8). The believer has an old
nature which stays old and a new nature which stays new. He is to yield
to the new rather than the old, by the power of the indwelling Spirit,
through faith in Christ's death to sin and resurrection to newness of
life (Romans 6). The two natures are in conflict till God eradicates our
sin nature in glory (Romans 7-8).

You should stop pretending like you represent God and truth, because
you're almost a complete idiot about what God actually says, and you
shamelessly contradict what you do know it says, in favor of your own
ideas.

That's you, hypocrite. You're the one claiming to walk around in sinless

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God
raised Him from the dead?

That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death
penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.

On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).

Revelation 22: Christ Restores Paradise

paradise.html
Introduction
Revelation 22 concludes the Bible with the promise of restored
paradise, eternal blessings for the righteous,

However,

the wages of sin is death.
You think that on you death your sin state will be miraculously
transformed on the basis of a claim you make in your sin.

No I don't, truth-devoid liar. The sin nature will not be transformed,
ever. It will be eradicated in glory (Romans 8).

It is now or never, Sinner.

You ain't got a free sinner ride for nothing but your personal claim on
your death bed.

nature which stays old and a new nature which stays new. He is to yield
to the new rather than the old, by the power of the indwelling Spirit,
through faith in Christ's death to sin and resurrection to newness of
life (Romans 6). The two natures are in conflict till God eradicates our
sin nature in glory (Romans 7-8).
You should stop pretending like you represent God and truth, because
you're almost a complete idiot about what God actually says, and you
shamelessly contradict what you do know it says, in favor of your own
ideas.

and Christ’s imminent return. The

Post by Christ Rose
river of life flows from God’s throne, bringing peace and purity
(verse 1). The tree of life, yielding fruit in every season, assures
you of God’s unending provision and eternal health (verse 2). Sin’s
curse is removed, and you are invited to live in His perfect
presence, serving Him with joy and intimacy (verses 3-5). Christ’s
exhortation to prepare underscores the urgency of obedience, worship,
and sharing the gospel (verses 6-21).
Proposition
You should prepare for Christ’s return.
Reasons
Because God provides eternal blessings (verses 1-5).
The river of life symbolizes God’s sustaining presence, flowing
directly from His throne. This pure, life-giving water represents the
fulfillment of all His promises to you as His child. The tree of
life, now accessible to believers, assures you of God’s provision and
care for eternity. Its fruit for every season and leaves for healing
signify perfect health and abundant life. These blessings underscore
the beauty of serving God in a world free from sin and sorrow. You
should prepare for Christ’s return because He offers this perfect,
eternal existence to those who trust Him.
Because God warns against complacency (verses 6-11).
Christ’s words in verse 7 call you to keep the prophecy of this book,
emphasizing readiness. The angel confirms the truth of these words,
reminding you that prophecy demands action. Verse 11 starkly
contrasts the fates of the righteous and the wicked, highlighting
that choices made now carry eternal consequences. God’s warning is
not an invitation to despair but a call to perseverance. You should
prepare for Christ’s return by remaining vigilant, pursuing holiness,
and rejecting the complacency of the world.
Because Christ rewards the righteous (verses 12-15).
Christ declares in verse 12 that He is coming soon to repay everyone
according to their works. As the Alpha and Omega, He holds ultimate
authority to judge and reward. Verse 14 assures blessings for those
who wash their robes, symbolizing purification through His blood. In
contrast, verse 15 excludes the wicked, emphasizing that salvation is
for those who respond to His grace. This reminder should stir your
heart to evaluate your life, knowing that His judgment is perfect and
His reward is eternal. Prepare for Christ’s return by embracing His
righteousness and rejecting sin.
Because God offers you salvation (verses 16-17).
Christ invites you to come and take the water of life without cost
(verse 17). This call, extended through the Spirit and the bride, is
an open invitation to anyone who thirsts for salvation. It is a
message of hope and grace, reminding you that Christ’s sacrifice has
secured your place in eternity. You are urged not only to respond but
also to share this invitation with others. Preparing for Christ’s
return means accepting His free gift of salvation and leading others
to do the same.
Because God preserves His Word (verses 18-19).
God warns against altering His Word, emphasizing its sufficiency and
authority. Adding to or taking from the prophecy invites judgment,
highlighting the need to trust and obey His revelation. This call to
reverence should lead you to treasure Scripture as God’s unchanging
truth. Preparing for Christ’s return involves studying His Word,
obeying its commands, and guarding its purity against false teachings.
Because Christ assures His return (verses 20-21).
Christ’s final promise, “Surely I am coming soon,” offers hope and
urgency. John’s response, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” reflects the
believer’s longing for His return. The benediction in verse 21
reassures you of God’s grace, encouraging you to live in readiness
and anticipation. You should prepare for Christ’s return by aligning
your life with this hope, focusing on eternal priorities rather than
temporary distractions.
Invitation
The final words of Revelation ring with both warning and hope. They
are not mere echoes of an ancient text; they are the living voice of
God calling you to action today. My friend, Revelation 22 paints a
glorious picture of paradise restored—a place where the curse of sin
is no more, where God Himself dwells with His people, and where
eternal blessings flow like a river from His throne. But this chapter
also issues a solemn warning: without Christ, you are forever shut
out of this glory.
Do you not hear the urgency in the words, “Behold, I am coming
soon” (verse 12)? Christ’s return is certain, and with it comes both
reward and judgment. If you stand outside His grace, you stand
condemned already. The list of those excluded from His holy city—
those who love lies, cling to idols, and embrace sin—reflects the
condition of every sinner apart from the saving work of Jesus Christ.
Do not deceive yourself into thinking you can delay your response.
The time is near, and the choices you make now will determine your
eternal destiny.
But hear me: the same God who warns of judgment also invites you to
life. His words are full of grace: “Let the one who is thirsty come;
let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (verse
17). What mercy is this! You who have spent your life laboring for
satisfaction in empty pursuits, come and drink freely from the
fountain of eternal life. There is no price you can pay, for Christ
has paid it all. He bore your sin on the cross, dying in your place,
and He rose again to give you life. His death was no mere gesture; it
was a substitutionary atonement, fully satisfying God’s righteous
demands for your sin.
Will you not come? Do you not see the kindness of the Savior, His
arms outstretched, His voice calling, “Come”? Turn from your sin, my
friend. Change your mind about your rebellion against God. Trust
wholly in Christ, who alone can save. Call upon His name, and He will
not cast you out. There is no other refuge from the storm of God’s
wrath, but in Christ, there is peace, forgiveness, and eternal joy.
Believers, Revelation 22 also speaks to you. The river of life and
the tree of life call you to marvel at the abundance of God’s grace.
Are you living in light of eternity? Are you praying for the lost,
interceding with fervor, and sharing the gospel with boldness? The
time is short, and the fields are white for harvest. Do not grow
weary in doing good, for the reward is coming. The promises of this
chapter are yours—eternal communion with God, joy in His presence,
and the privilege of reigning with Him forever.
Let us live with purpose, my friends. Let us pray with passion,
worship with awe, and proclaim with urgency, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
Until He comes, may we hold fast to His Word, shine as lights in this
dark world, and labor with joy for His glory. Amen.

He spends all day trying to justify his own sins, by falsely accusing

Thus ego-boy liar and false accuser seeks to conflate the fact that
Christ's death propitiated God for all a believer's sins, with the
falsely imputed idea that believers who rely on Christ's atonement for
cleansing and forgiveness, must also be seeking to indulge and excuse
sin, as if those are the only two options. You're just like the false
accusers who tried to impute evil intent to and malign Paul because he
taught salvation by grace:

“And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously
charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.” (Romans 3:8, ESV)

You do nothing but promote deceit, envy-boy McLiar. --Just like your
father Satan.

That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death
