The City that God Desires- Rev 21:1-4
1) It is a city that God has prepared for himself - verse 2
We can own material things, but we cannot let material things own us.
We are often hurried, and we end up building superficial relationships.
Same for our relationship with God - is it superficial?

Allow God to work in us and to work thru us. Phi 2:12-13 work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Pray for our city, our workplace, for our leaders, pray for one another.
We are the channels where God use.

2) It is a city where God inhabits His people. - verse 3
A) God's way of life will become man's way of life. Vertical relationship between God and man
B) Horizontal relationship between man and man
In summary, the vertical n horizontal relationship forms the cross!
Live as salt and light of this world. Shine for Jesus wherever we go.
Learn to share Jesus with other people. Let God inhabit the world thru me.
Psa 27:4

3) It is a city that God has redeemed from the effects of sin - verse 4

Redemption is that He took whatever is out of order, fixed it and restoring it back to its original position and order.
2 Cor 5:18
