Gospel Reflections #798: Life in Believing

Revelation 5:13 "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"

Father God and Jesus have faithfully worked ever since declaring the plan for humanity's salvation.

Jesus came to this world as a human being and bore our sins by dying on the cross.

God's declaration of war in Genesis signified that Jesus' heel would be crushed on the cross—meaning that even though Jesus died on the cross, it was not the end.

Jesus fulfilled death on the cross as a human and rose again as God.

This prepared the way for us to be freed from sin and given new life.

We receive this new life by believing in Jesus, our Savior.

And Jesus intercedes for us in heaven, ultimately defending us before all inhabitants of the universe.

Though we have done nothing for God, simply by believing in Jesus, God is the One who provides for all our needs.

We cannot help but rejoice in such a God.

The more we come to know God, the more we are filled with praise, joy, and gratitude.

And soon, this will become eternal.
