Inspired thots
At first, there was nothing for me... than I realised that I was just skimming through the verses - even just the first 3 verses! No wonder I couldnt get God's revelation!
When I go slow on each word prayerfully, wow! the revelation is great!
1) As a child of God, I HAVE the CONFIDENCE to enter the Holy of Holies.
2) The DOOR is OPEN. It is a Welcome sign - an opened door.
3) Jesus is waiting there for me.
Question is: DO I WANT TO ENTER?
The invitation is so encouraging:
1) LETs DRAW NEAR to GOD. v22
- with a sincere heart (wanting)
- with full assurance (confidence as God's child)
- cleansed by the blood of the Lamb
- with a clean conscience and body
- I can HOPE because I TRUST
3) LETs CONSIDER MOTIVATING one another to LOVE and GOOD Works
4) LETs NOT GIVE UP MEETING Together
- Dont be lazy to come together for fellowship; it can become a HABIT
- Dont give excuses not to fellowship
- Dont be discouraged to fellowship
5) LETs ENCOURAGE one another
- People need encouragement; a kind word; a praise or compliment to motivate
All the above needs to be practised today because Jesus is at the door.
Sinning deliberately will make us God's enemies.
ANSWER to QUESTION: WHY NOT ENTER?
v31 ~ a most interesting note.
A child of God will be most happy to be chastised by God for He will be merciful (as King David experienced)
but, those who defy God will dread His judgment for there will be no more mercy given to them.
So, be WISE in choosing WHOSE side to be on.
v35 ~ Confidence again! Do not throw again my confidence. It will be richly rewarded. An encouragement to remain steady and hopeful in Christ alone. Earthly things may be taken from me but eternal and lasting treasures are in store.
v39 ~ Believe and be Saved
1) Salvation ~ Romans 10:9
2) Steadfast to the End
