ENTERING THE HOLY OF HOLIES

-
In the Holy of Holies, we behold a scene in which everything is for God's delight and pleasure. Everything there speaks of Christ! The room itself is filled with the fragrance of Christ.

What do we do in the Holy of Holes? We behold the glory of Christ. He is "the express image" of God the bible says, the One who has perfectly revealed the Father. We behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. The bible says,  "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)

Glory indicates God's satisfaction. The glory of Christ is that He is the Accomplisher of all the purposes of God. God's perfect satisfaction and delight rests on Christ, now and forever! As pilgrims, we press on to our eternal home in Heaven. The burning sands and desert thorns may hurt our weary feet, but, like Paul, we say:

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
"For our citizenship is in heaven ; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
"Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body... " (Philippians 3:20, 21)
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arc angel, and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1Thessalonians 4:16, 17)

A GLIMPSE OF HIS GRACE

-
"At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep" (Psalm 76:6) Psalm 76:1-12 In 1863, former President Abraham Lincoln of the United States declared in a state address: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of the redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.” That was a sincere acknowledgement of God’s graciousness to America which hitherto placed its trust in H...

ABIDE IN CHRIST

-
Christ is everything we need. He is our Salvation, our Righteousness, our Love, our Joy, our Wisdom, our Power, our Victory, our Patience, our Life, and much more. Indeed, Christ is our all in all. Jesus Christ can be unto you of everything, so when you have Christ, you've it all. How do we experience these things?  We experience them as we abide in Christ. The Lord Jesus said, "Abide in Me, and I [will live out My life] in you." Our part is to abide in Him. His part is to do everything we need How do I abide in Christ? We abide in Christ by knowing we are in Christ: God Himself put us in Christ. Abiding in Christ is simply living in the truth of what God has done. One of the greatest secret of abiding in Christ is the deep conviction that we are nothing and Christ is everything. If we take the letter CHRIST away from the word CHRISTIAN, what do we have left?  You have IAN which stands for I Am Nothing. Our Lord said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." ...

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

-
What must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:31) We are saved, not by doing good works or any work, but by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31) What does it mean to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?  To answer this question, let us see the meaning of His name. LORD - This is His kingly name. God has made Him "Lord of all". Jesus Christ is over all things in God's universe. JESUS - This is His personal name. It means "Savior". He is our Savior, the Savior of the world - the One who died for our sins and rose from the grave to become our living Savior. CHRIST - This is His official name. It means that He is the "Anointed One". He is the One chosen and anointed by God as the promised Savior. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the One Anointed by God to be your Savior? Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins? This is a huge and very ...
