ETERNITY AWAITS PT
1 of 4 THE WONDER OF IT ALL . As we await our Lord's return for the church, I
draw attention to who we are and what we do now as His church, that one day we will look upon with what I pray will be an
informed amazement, how God brought us all together here to give Him the Glory and do our ministries in the life He provided.
. Let us make this time to remember forever
in His Book of Life. . GOD'S
UNFAILING PROMISE . John 14:1-3
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." . But first, the great teaching of The Apostle Paul, that we can
count on because our Lord KEEPS HIS WORD: . 1 Corinthians 15:54-57
" So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall
have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death,
where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks
be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." .
ETERNITY AWAITS . Isaiah 57:15
"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name
is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit
of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."
. Eternal
Life . John 3:16
16 "For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life." . John
3:36
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him." . 1 John 5:13
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye
may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." . THE CALL OF GOD TO COME UNTO HIM . Revelation 22:17
" And the Spirit and the
bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely." . This
has nothing to do with the chronology of the Church nor our presence in the Tribulation. It is a invitation by the Church
for Christ to come and by The Spirit for sinners to come to Christ NOW which is our work through the Gospel of Jesus Christ
. This IS the invitation today! If a person
unsaved is tired of drinking of the cesspools of the world, WE, in the power of The Spirit, invite them TO COME TO HIM!...NOW,
before it's too late. We do it through The Gospel in The Spirit of love. .
Isaiah 55:1
"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that
hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." . John 7:37
" In the last day, that great
day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."
. THE NEW JERUSALEM AND THE UNIVERSE:EVER
BRIGHT BY THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST . Revelation 21:22-23 . "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had
no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light
thereof." . Revelation 22:3-5
.
"And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall
be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there
shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they
shall reign for ever and ever."

in and by whom we are victorious! . "... My kingdom is not of this world..." John 18:36 . " ... Occupy till I come." Luke 19:13 . " Ye have not chosen

will for us and for His glory) . " According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation

4:4 . "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the
world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 . " And behold I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last". Rev.22:12-13 . GOD KNOWS
He knows every beat of our heart
The number of our days
Our life is His
Our departure
He will oversee
Though our body is weary
And heaviness weighs us down
He comforts us in love
And though
we are in pain

truth
