Gospel Reflections #206: Jesus Reconciled Us with God

Revelation 5:12 "The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, majesty, honor, glory, and praise."

Revelation 5 depicts the One who is on the throne, whose scroll is at His right hand, and who is worthy to open the seals.

The cross of Jesus reconciled the separation between God and man.

No matter how good we lived as human beings, no matter how great our accomplishments as a result of our efforts, we could not reconcile God and man.

The fact that Jesus came to earth as a human being, died for us, and was resurrected as God means that He took our place as a human being disturbed with sin just like us, and through His resurrection, the hope that we too can be remade became a reality.

We believe in Jesus, we accept Him, and we are willing to accept Him.

All we have to do is believe in Jesus, accept Jesus, and be willing to accept Jesus.

God does not force us to do anything just because we are His children and heirs of His property.

We are raised by God by being close to Him. It is the same as praising Jesus, singing songs of praise, and worshipping Him in heaven.

We need only be willing to accept and believe what God has done, what Jesus has done and will do for us, and manifest that joy with our own lives.

We are not to express how great we have become, but how great what Jesus has done and won for us.

We can praise Him for His victory in heaven even when we are on earth!
