Now is the Time!


Scripture:
"'Fear God', he shouted. 'Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and all the springs of water'." (Revelation 14:7)

Observation:

Now is the time for you and I to...

1. Fear God
2. Give glory to Him
3. Worship Him

The writer of Hebrews says in Hebrews 1:2-"And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe."
Peter used the same terminology in his sermon in Acts chapter 2 at Pentecost, to remind us that the "last days' were inaugurated in the person and ministry of Christ. Therefore, we should be living lives that incorporate these three aspects.

Application:
We need to live a life that is fearful of God and His great power and His judgement. We should also give Him glory for everything, event he things that we often take for granted such as a marvelous planet which not only is inhabitable but a planet that shows the beauty and majesty of a loving and caring God. We should give Him all glory, honor and praise because of the cross! The cross of Christ allows us to have access to the Father and the hope of an eternity with Him. The cross allows us to live a life without fear of Satan or eternal separation from God (Hell).

Prayer:
Father, I come to you today grateful for all of the love that you show to me, from the perfection of creation to the salvation of the cross. Lord, help me to live a life that is fearful of you, that gives You all glory, and a life that is in constant worship to You.
In Jesus Name, Amen
