Living in Light of The Lord’s Return
Revelation 22:7 - 9
28 April 2024
In Revelation 22, God's plan of redemption is fulfilled. The knowledge that our eternal hope is coming to pass must not lull us into complacency, but spur us to spiritual duties.
We must heed God's Word (v. 6 - 7), because the words of Revelation are faithful and true. The words are from God, so all that He promises will come to pass. We must study His Word if we are to know and take refuge in these promises. Jesus Christ promises that He is returning swiftly and without notice, and so those who would honour Him must stand alert. Revelation promises a blessing to those who hear and obey.
We see the testimony of John (v. 8 - 9), who was so overwhelmed with heaven that he fell down to worship an angel. He was rebuked - only God deserves worship, and no preacher or messenger of God is to be adored.
The knowledge of Christ's return should bear results in our lives. Do we believe and live it?
