Gospel Reflections #588: God is doing His best to keep us

Heb. 1:3 “The Son, the reflection of God's glory and the perfect manifestation of His nature, who upholds all things by His mighty word, after having cleansed men from their sins, has taken His place at the right hand of the Most High in the highest heaven."

God has declared war for the salvation of mankind in order to restore us bound by sin.

God has kept His promise and has spoken to those who are before us at various times and in various ways by prophets in the past to guide them.

In these end times, God speaks to us through His Son, whom He has designated as the heir of all things.

As the "human" representative, Jesus never sinned from the time He came into the world until His death on the cross.

Jesus faithfully and sincerely fulfilled God's plan for the salvation of mankind.

His resurrection and ascension are not the end of Jesus' work. From now on, as "God" and the ruler of the universe, Jesus will work in heaven to complete the plan for the salvation of mankind.

In this, He prepares to receive us, intercedes for us so that we will not be separated from God on earth, and acts as our advocate and witness in the cosmic trial.

There is nothing that God has not done to get us back, and He has done everything thoroughly on our behalf.

When we truly know this, we are moved and filled with joy, gratitude, and hope, and we want to praise Jesus.
