GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; Selah.
That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise Thee, O GOD; let all the people praise Thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
Let the people praise Thee, O GOD; let all the people praise Thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and GOD, even our own GOD, shall bless us. GOD shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him. (Psalms 67:1-7)
When GOD's people return to Him and repent of their unrighteousness GOD will bless us. But, there is no crown without a cross, there is no Salvation without His suffering and sacrifice in our place, there is no reconciliation with GOD without the righteousness that only He can give us. There is no blessing without obedience to His Word. There is no restoration without repentance toward GOD and right relationships within the Church.
One day, GOD will come back for His own and receive us up to Himself. Then His attention will turn more fully to the nation of Israel and those nations that oppress His people and oppose Him. He will destroy His enemies and set up His earthly Kingdom and rule from Jerusalem. He will test the nations and purge the people until all things are accomplished in His time.
Those that are at war with GOD, or never choose to surrender to Him on His terms, will be cast aside in eternal punishment. Not just because of their sIn, or because of their actions or failures, for we are all guilty sinners before GOD, but because they rejected Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and remained condemned, despite His mercy and grace.
GOD is not willing that any should perish. He wants you to come to Him and be saved. Jesus loves you and desires to establish a love relationship with you that is real and personal. Trust Him for forgiveness and salvation and be born again by faith in His finished work on the Cross of Calvary. Jesus wants to forgive you and give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Believe His Word and receive His Salvation today.
In Christ,
