Christian grief is real, not a failure of faith. Scripture shows that God draws near to the brokenhearted, that Jesus wept at Lazarus's tomb, and that believers are called to grieve honestly while holding onto hope. Because Christ rose from the dead, death does not have the final word, making Christian sorrow different not in its depth, but in what lies beneath it.
God will one day make everything completely new — not repaired, but brand new. Drawing from Revelation 21, 2 Peter 3, and Isaiah 65, this article explores the promise of a new heaven and new earth where God personally wipes away every tear, death and sorrow are finished, and righteousness dwells forever. Your deepest losses have an end date written by God.
