The Lord Jesus is coming soon to reveal His redeeming glory through the saints. Then the world will believe and be released into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The saints will be with Jesus forever and will behold His glory.

"That the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

"For God so loved the world."

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:2)

We know from the Scripture that not every person will be saved in the Day of the Lord. Some will choose eternal death in place of eternal life. This is so unfortunate because in Christ is eternal life, and that eternal, indestructible, incorruptible, resurrection life is the only possible light of each person born into the world.

Every person in the world can possess life. Every person can receive into his personality that wonderful life, that glorious light, the complete healing of spirit, soul and body that is in Christ, the Son of God. He is the promised Redemption for all people everywhere—men, women, boys, and girls.

Christ is the atonement for the sins of the whole world. God loves the world—every person living in it. The nations of the earth are the inheritance of Christ.

Does God have in mind to save the world? Does God intend to bring the saving knowledge of Christ to every village on the earth? Are the kingdoms of the world actually going to become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ?

Indeed they are!

God's Kingdom shall come. God's will shall be done on the earth as it is performed in Heaven.

If, as the Scripture teaches, the power of the cross will bring the Gospel light to the ends of the earth, and the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, where does the Church fit into this picture? What role does the Christian Church play in bringing the saving, delivering, healing virtue of the Lord to the peoples of the earth?

The Church, the Body of the Christ, is the instrument through which God will bring salvation to the nations of the earth. When Christ returns to the earth and receives the Church into total, complete, perfect union with Himself (which is the marriage of the Lamb):

The world will believe that God has sent Christ.

The saints will receive the glory that God the Father has given to Christ.

The world will know that God loves the saints as He loves His only begotten son, Jesus the Christ.

The saints will be with Jesus forever and will behold His glory.

Where will this Divine union and glory be brought into being? It will be brought into being in the sight of the nations of the world so they may believe on Christ and be saved.

"That they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

To be continued.
