Part Three of Three
We now approach the completion of a three-week series on our GREAT GOD. To review, we first saw God’s actions as principles based upon His priorities. And then we stated it was good for His children to praise Him.
We mentioned His purpose for each of His children in the second narration. We agreed with His purpose through our Bible reading and prayers. The prayers of believers not only allow us to prevail in our service to the King of Kings and play a crucial role in His divine plan. Our productive service will always agree with His plan for our lives as we serve Him.
Now, we are moving to the New Testament. Titus has the unenviable task of helping a church. As a young pastor, he understood that God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). His first assignment was to procure help for the church. Find qualified servants with godly character and individuals who will keep their eyes on our Great God (2:13), knowing that one day they and we will answer for everything we say and do on this earth. Therefore, we encourage each other to stay faithful to God.
The book of Hebrews reminds every believer that we have a Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14), Jesus, our advocate, with the heavenly Father. Jesus alone is our mediator. With that thought comes a warning to stay true to your faith. Don’t let anyone or anything make you doubt your salvation. Knowing it is Christ who redeemed you. No one can take your salvation away from you. Because you belong to Jesus, you can and should come boldly to the throne of grace with your prayer requests. At His throne, we find mercy and help in our time of need.
The last verse that we will look at is in Revelation 19. The beginning of this chapter talks about the position in glory. We will enjoy the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (v-9) there. Here, we can worship God for all eternity (v-10).
While in heaven, we will witness the ultimate defeat of the beast, where all the birds (v-17) will come and devour the dead enemies of God.
Our wonderful Great God rules supreme, and we are with Him forever. Amen.
