From Paradise Lost to Paradise Restored: Gen 2-3 and Rev 22

Reformed Baptist Church of Kansas City

The Paradise of Eden in Genesis 2-3 was "lost" and ruined due to Adam's sin. But the plan of sovereign God was always to, through the promised Seed/Deliverer of Gen 3, restore that Paradise above and beyond the original. So it is no surprise that the description of this promised Paradise Restored of Rev 21-22 uses the same imagery as Gen 2-3.This sermon eventually focuses on Revelation 22:1-5 to see six things in the Paradise restored connected to and in fulfillment of the orginal Paradise of Eden. These promises should greatly encourage the Christian to not grow weary and to serve now in great joy.Intro: From Genesis through RevelationI. River of Life (Rev 22:1)II. Tree of Life (Rev 22:2)III.
