Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but My salvation shall be for ever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My Law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but My righteousness shall be for ever, and My salvation from generation to generation. (Isaiah 51:6-8)
When the heavens themselves are vanished, and this earth is no more we who are truly safe in Christ because we have been born again by faith and filled with the Holy Spirit shall be safe in His arms. What a promise, what a joy to know that He will never leave us or forsake us even to the end of the world. His salvation, which began the moment we repented and received His life for our crucified life, will last forever. He is performing a good work in His children, who sit at His feet, and learn of Him from His Word, all the while becoming more like Him. His righteousness has replaced our filthy rags and made us fit for Heaven, not in some future by-and-by, but now as we walk in obedience and discipleship. He pours out His love in and through those of us who are truly His and shows Himself faithful to those that await His return.
While we wait, we endure the trials that come from living His life in this sinful broken world that we messed up. We can stand against those that rail against His Church, for their words are empty noise as they shake their fist in the face of an Almighty GOD who loves them, despite their sIn, but cannot accept them as sinners into His presence. We don't fear them, for we reverence and worship our Creator GOD who cares for us. All their works will burn up, and pass away with the winds of judgment, but GOD is gracious to those that turn from their sIn and surrender to Him on His terms.
If you are one who is not yet free from your sIn, that is separated from GOD, He wants you to know that you don't have to be. He wants to give you this abundant life that He paid for on that cruel Roman Cross. Jesus is alive and His Word tells us that He came to seek and to save those that are lost. Believe and receive Him by faith that your sins may be blotted out, and your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Trust His salvation and begin the journey of discipleship that is life in Christ, full, abundant and everlasting.
For the family of faith, Jesus commanded us to tell others the good news of Jesus Christ and His love.
In Christ,
