OUR INDESTRUCTIBLE KINGDOM
Heb. 12:28-29 Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be
destroyed, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear
and awe. For our God is a consuming fire. NLT
The Kingdom of God
cannot be destroyed. Therefore, let us
approach God with thanksgiving always.
Consider this great life Christ has given us in Him. Meditate upon it until you are overwhelmed by
it. Let this mysterious life of God’s
love fleshed out in you capture your heart.
Think much about what it means to have your sins forgiven and forgotten
by God. Consider the horrible life
Christ has saved you from both here on earth and in all of eternity. Take in the wonder of the workings of God’s
grace in you until your soul rises up in great thanksgiving.
We are receiving the
Kingdom of God. We don’t have it
yet. We are moving towards that day in
which it will be ours to claim. The life
of faith is a process requiring us to daily walk with the Lord. As long as our hearts are open vessels that
can receive the things of God, we will lay hold of the Kingdom someday.
With gratitude in our
hearts, let us always strive to please God by living with a worshipful spirit
of holy fear and awe. It is good for the
soul to live with a deep sense of God’s holiness. We should respect the holiness of God,
knowing that no sin will ever enter into His presence. Let the awareness of God’s holiness move you to
diligently guard your soul from sin. It
is good to have a holy fear of God. If
we don’t fear God in His holiness, we will not stand guard over our souls and
we will let sin creep in.
We should never lose
our sense of awe over who God is. It is
good for the soul to dwell on the glory and majesty of God. It is good to consider the greatness of God
in power and love. It is good to feast
on the absolute perfection of God in all that is good and holy. It is good to feast on the unfathomable mind
of God and His eternal life. God is
beyond all of our imaginings.
We have no real sense
of who God really is in all His glory.
He gives us only a little glimpse of himself because the human mind
cannot comprehend Him. It is good for us
to never lose our sense of awe of Him.
God is a consuming
fire and all will pass under His fiery gaze.
No sin will be kept hidden from Him.
He will not be deceived by our righteousness. Only those whose righteousness is Christ will
survive His searching gaze. He will not
misjudge any soul. All who are in Christ
will be with Him forever and ever and all who aren’t in Christ will be in the
cesspool of His wrath forever and ever with all those who are cast into the
lake of fire where there will be ceaseless pain and agony of soul and body.
Don’t mess around
with your soul. Choose Christ today
because no one is guaranteed a tomorrow.
All that awaits you in your tomorrows is eternal hellfire if you die
without knowing Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord.
