| "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:2-29 As believers we are moving toward a heavenly kingdom, but as we move toward the heavenly kingdom we need to recognize that we should be serving God down here. We are to serve Him "acceptably." How? "With reverence and godly fear." Christianity is not playing church, and it is not assuming a pious attitude. It is a living, vital, and real relationship with Jesus Christ that transforms your life and anchors you in the Word of God. "For our God is a consuming fire." You can take that or leave it, but it just happens to be in the Word of God. This is a solemn reminder that grace is available for you to serve God, but don't trifle with God. Don't think you can play fast and loose with God and get by with it. That day may come when you won't even know where you stand with Him at all! Our God is a consuming fire, but He is also a gracious, glorious, wonderful Savior. God Bless You. |
