Daughter of the King

Something Old, Something New,

Isn't it awesome that our God is the God who created the world? He is an eternal God. He has always been. He is the God of the first people who walked on this world. He is the God of great Kings, and defenseless widows. He is the God of men who lived for hundreds of years, and infants in the womb. He is the God of the sea, and the sky. He is the God of the earth and everything that lives upon it. He is God. Let us praise His worthy name.

Yet, He is somehow perfected through suffering. Jesus Christ is God-amen, but He is also Savior. He is the "Old" God that has been and always will be. He was born of a woman. He lived a perfect life in our place, complete obedience to the Father. He died cursed and hated in our place, for our sins. He saved His people, and He brought glory to His Father. His Father in turn has brought glory to Him.

What is it? Why should Jesus Christ the everliving God, die for us? We hated Him. He loved us. Let us fear the God of Heaven and earth. Let us fear the God who has the power to send souls to Hell forever. Let us fear the God who spoke and the world was brought into being. Let us fear this God who has saved our wretched souls. Let us fear Him will all our hearts. Perhaps if we were to have proper fear for God, then we'd be about His business.

We don't know when Jesus will come. He is coming. Let us not be lazy. Let us be ready for His return. It will be a fearful day. Many will say, "Lord, Lord," and He will say He never knew them. Let us be quick to love righteouness and abide in Jesus.

"And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assureance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of thsoe who through faith and patience inherit the promises." Hebrews 6:11-12
