Reading this verse is uplifting in itself - 2 Cor. 4:16 "...yet the inwardman is being renewed day by day..." - that deep within us, we are renewed daily by God's working power and grace.
Renewed daily... but don't just stop at 'sounds good, feels good'.. What does it mean to be renewed day by day?
As I recently discovered and keep discovering... the very heart and eternal plan of God - to restore all things to its original and perfect state - God dwelling with man and man with God (Rev. 21:3) and to those who overcome, they will have access to the tree of life in the Paradise of God (Rev. 2:7; 22:2). There will be no need for a tree of knowledge of good and evil, for they will have perfect knowledge of God! Also, see the chiastic chart on Israel, the Church and the kingdom of God above by One Thing Ministries.
Heb. 12:25-26 says, "but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven. Now this, “Yet once more,”indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain."
God is shaking all that can be shaking - even doctrines according to man (that are flaky) and not according to God's heart and His word ... that only what remains is a kingdom which cannot be shaken.
Newer and newer each day... truly a hope worth living for!
Revelation 22:14 - Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
