The Daily Word of Righteousness
Judgment and Rewards, #50
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. (Luke 19:41,42)
Jesus wept concerning what could have been true had Jerusalem been willing and obedient. The Jews missed the day of their visitation. Let us make sure that we as individuals do not miss the day of our visitation!
The Kingdom of God is at hand. The lovers of God are pressing into it. The crowns of glory are at stake.
Multitudes of "Christians" are determined to enjoy the present world, believing they will go to Paradise when they die if they make a profession of belief in Jesus. They do not understand the program or purpose of the Gospel.
Among the multitudes of Christian believers there is a handful of saints who are pressing into the Kingdom of God. They are gaining eternal life and authority under God. They are being fed by the Lord because they are doing His will and completing the tasks they have been assigned. They have been chosen, therefore, to be close to Him throughout eternity.
These saints will rule the nations of the earth because the Father and the Son are ruling them from the core of their personality. They behave righteously and will be empowered further to live righteously throughout the ages to come.
They will not be deceived by Antichrist because they are being kept by the indwelling power of Christ. They have guarded carefully the Word of Christ; now the Word of Christ is guarding them carefully.
They are being created an integral part of the Divine Godhead (John 17:21) and the name of God is being inscribed on them.
They reign over all things from the throne of Christ, which is in Heaven and in them at the same time.
To inherit all things (21:7).
Those who, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, overcome the world, Satan, and their own bodily lusts and soulish self-will, shall inherit all that God is, all that God has done and will do. Theirs is an inconceivable, incomprehensible, unimaginable inheritance that stretches far, far beyond our mind's ability to grasp. The life we are living now on the earth is our one opportunity to attain exceedingly great glory.
Those who do not choose to make the effort to overcome the world will not attain the glorious inheritance of the conquerors. The New Testament writings say little about the non-overcomers, except that they are in danger of suffering eternal loss.
Our relationship to God Almighty is the most important part of our inheritance as sons of God.
To have God be one's God, and to be God's son (21:7).
God is the God of the conqueror. He is delighted to be the God of the conqueror.
God is not the God of the covetous Christian. His money is his god.
God is not the God of the lusting Christian. His flesh is his god.
God is not the God of the lying Christian. Satan is his god.
God is not the God of the self-seeking Christian. He himself is his own god.
God is the God of the overcomer.
To be continued.
