Isaiah 65 talks about the difference between those who seek God and those who move away from Him. God promises blessings for those who sincerely seek Him, while judging those who reject Him and get involved in sin. The restoration of Israel is also addressed and the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 65:
Proverbs 8:17: "I love those who love me; those who seek me find me." This verse shows that God is willing to relate to those who seek and love Him from the heart.
Jeremiah 29:13: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." This verse talks about the importance of seeking God with sincerity and total surrender.
Matthew 6:33: "Seek out, first of all the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." This verse encourages God's prioritization in our lives and promises that He will supply all our needs.
Revelation 21:1: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed; and the sea no longer existed." This verse talks about the promise of a new creation, as also mentioned in Isaiah 65.
2 Peter 3:13: "But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens and new earth, in which justice dwells." This verse reinforces Christian hope in total restoration and justice that will prevail in new creation, as promised by God.
