I don’t want a single son or daughter of Adam to miss out on what a loving, super-intelligent Creator has awaiting those who will love Him back and obey Him, for those who will allow Him to mold and fashion them in His character and spiritual image.
Did you think God just got around to creating things with this earth and this universe? I assure you He’s been exercising the art of creating for a long, long time – throughout all eternity past! He was creating wonders trillions of ages ago. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard what God has prepared for them that love Him” (I Corinthians 2:9). “For THIS is the love of God, that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not grievous (not a burden, not a yoke of bondage)” (I John 5:3).
The elect of God have an invitation not just to a banquet, not to just a marriage supper, not just to heaven. They have an invitation to share in and enjoy something that the most brilliant human author could not write about if gifted with the ability to write in the most superlative fashion and given a thousand years to put it into words. And time is running out to qualify for the best position available. The apostle Paul said he pressed toward the mark for the high calling of God that is offered to any born human who will bow to His Son Jesus Christ as the absolute Lord of their day-to-day existence. And do you want to know my personal opinion? I think he qualified. That is why he was caught up to the third heaven and heard things from His Lord’s lips that is not lawful for a man to utter, for a man should not pat himself on the back or boast. That should be left to others.
Don’t get too wrapped up in this present evil world. It is all going to burn someday. Fix your eyes and your heart upon doing the will of God at all costs. Your eternal reward for doing so is absolutely mind-boggling. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth from those who realize what could have been their eternal inheritance had they only surrendered their all to their well-deserving Lord. Brethren, I urge you, do not be found in the company of such on resurrection day.
Christ’s Servant (Galatians 1:10-12),
