The Holy City, New Jerusalem

The Iglesia Ni Cristo believes that there is a Holy City being prepared by Christ and promised to His disciples to which He will bring them on His return (John 14:2-3). The Holy City is glorious, having the glory of God (Rev. 21:10-21). This is the future home of the members of the Church Of Christ who stay faithful up to the end. Life in the Holy City is perfect—no need for sun and moon and no night (Rev. 21:23-25; 22:5), no food and water shortage (Rev. 22:1-2), no more curse (Rev. 22:3), no hunger, thirst, sorrow, pain, death, evil (Rev. 7:15-17; 21:4).

Only those given by the Father to Christ can enter the New Jerusalem (John 17:12). And those given to Christ are called by God into the fellowship with Christ (I Cor. 1:9) and this calling is done by means of the Gospel as preached by God’s messengers (II Thess. 2:14; II Cor. 5:19-20). Those who are called are gathered in one body (Col. 3:15) which is the Church (Col. 1:18) called the Church Of Christ, Iglesia Ni Cristo in Filipino (Rom. 16:16; Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation).
