Take a look within the New Jerusalem, guaranteed to you in Christ. I. An Inside Look (v. 1-5) A. Its Life (vv. 1-2). God is the Life of the city. B. Its Lord (vv. 3-4). God is the Lord of the city. C. Its Light (v. 5). God is the Light of the city. II. An Ironclad Guarantee (vv. 6-9). A. Angelic Testimony (v. 6). 1. The character of "these sayings": "faithful and true." 2.
