Worship is the insignia of salvation. We who wish for all our children to be saved must pass down to them an enthusiastic worship of the LORD. This is the pattern revealed in Psalm 145. Extolment of our God passes from personal to generational to universal, and the character of that worship is seen as reverberative, personal, constant, wonderful (full of wonder), and faith-ful (full of faith). May the extolment of our great God be the legacy we leave behind.
The visions of the end times events are now complete. As the book of Revelation draws to a close, John conveys to us the last words of our Lord and underscores three themes of revelation, overcoming, and imminence. They teach us that we are to trust, know, preserve, and heed His revelation to us. His core message in this book can be captured in the one word “overcome.” The true overcomer in the book of Revelation is the Lord Himself. This reveals the nature of our overcoming efforts. We overcome in Christ. it is only as we abide in Christ and He abides in us that we overcome. He has conquered and He enables us to do the same in this sin infested and corrupt world. He guides us in the pathway to heaven which is the pathway of sanctification. The urgency of this matter is seen in the resounding reminder that the coming of the Lord for rapture is imminent. May the Holy Spirit give all of us the wisdom to walk closely with the Lord and be ready for Him whenever that day comes.
What is the greatest proof of saving faith? It is a life that has changed being united with the church. Consequently, Christians must be intentional to benefit one another, specifically regarding their sanctification.
This psalm of praise not only expresses David’s own personal worship of the LORD but the global propagation of that worship, which begins personal, then generational then finally universal.
This book was written for our sakes to urge us to heed its warnings and be ready for the Lord. Jesus adds urgency with the echoes of “I am coming quickly.”
Christians conduct themselves to make Christ known and for Christianity to be reputable. Their conduct requires humility. Humility leads to unity and unity affirms the transformative power of Christ.
Christ died not only to save us but also to leave us an example of holy suffering, showing us how to endure injustice while entrusting ourselves to God. He lived without sin, reviled no one in return, and submitted to the Father’s will—even unto death. This lesson teaches us what following Christ looks like: imitating His humility, righteousness, and patient endurance, especially in times of suffering.
Christ died to reveal His deep, sacrificial love for the church—He gave Himself to cleanse, sanctify, and present her in glory, without blemish. His love is steadfast, nourishing, and committed to our eternal good. This lesson teaches us how marriage points to this greater love: the love Christ has for His people.
Christ died to enable us to live by faith in Him, not in ourselves. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that our old self was crucified with Christ, and now Christ lives in us. As new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), we no longer live for ourselves but by trusting in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us. This new life means we no longer depend on our own strength or desires—we remember Christ daily, live by faith in His power and promises, and show our love for Him through obedience (John 14:23-24). His death gives us the joy and purpose of living for Him.
Today, we will learn how God creates a new heaven and earth for His new home. There is also the special city: new Jerusalem. What makes them new? What are they like?
The bible says that it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment - But, who is this judge? Are you prepared to meet Him?
When Jesus comes back, what will He be doing on earth? What can the followers of the Lord Jesus look forward to once Christ returns?
