The Lord says, “Forget what happened before, and do not think about the past.
Remember the miracles he has done, his wonders, and his decisions.
Remember what happened long ago. Remember that I am God, and there is no other God. I am God, and there is no one like me.
“Look, I will make new heavens and a new earth, and people will not remember the past or think about those things.
That old law had glory, but it really loses its glory when it is compared to the much greater glory of this new way.
If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new!
But don’t be afraid of them. Remember what the Lord your God did to all of Egypt and its king.
Remember how the Lord your God has led you in the desert for these forty years, taking away your pride and testing you, because he wanted to know what was in your heart. He wanted to know if you would obey his commands.
