"God promised Canaan to Abraham but his sons had to go out and take it. " -- Douglas Wilson, Worship As Warfare (sermon)
Jesus. in similar fashion, has promised the world to His church (Matt 5:5, Matt 28:18-20); and now we, His church, have to go out and take it! The promised land was before those who by faith rose up to believe in God's promise. The new earth is now before those who by faith rise up and believe in God's promise.
