We Shall See Him as He Is

No trial or suffering is easy. If trials were without pain and discomfort, they would not accomplish the purpose for which they are sent. (James 1: 2-4)

But, when we look at all of earth’s sorrows, sufferings, and trials in the light of His eternal glory; when we shall be like Him, enjoy His presence, and partake in His perfect kingdom, then we will look on these present inconveniences as nothing. They are not worthy to be compared to that glory. (I John 3: 1-3)

The True Grace of God

When things spin out of our control, when well-laid plans, indeed, go awry, when carefully crafted back-up plans blow up in our faces, and all that we had expected to happen vaporizes into what actually happens, we are reminded that it is God’s will and not ours that shall be done, and we are humbled into our proper place and God is exalted to His proper place.

“Our God is in the heavens, He has done whatsoever pleased Him.”

And that is good.

His Good Pleasure

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” | Philippians 2: 13

Everything concerning a sinner’s salvation is of God. Nothing is of us.

We don’t begin the work of salvation, He does. (Philippians 1: 6)
We don’t perform the work of salvation, He does. (Philippians 1: 6)
We don’t finish the work of salvation, He does. (John 19: 30, Hebrews 1: 3)
We don’t call on Him, He calls us. (Luke 5: 32)
We don’t seek Him, He seeks us. (Luke 19: 10)
We don’t find Him, He finds us. (Luke 15: 3-6)
We don’t accept Him, He accepts us. (Ephesians 1: 6)
We don’t produce our own faith to believe on Him, He puts His own faith in us and causes us to believe on Him. (Ephesians 2: 8)
We don’t earn any perfection of our own, He earned it for us. (Titus 3: 5)
It’s not that we loved Him, but that He loved us. (1 John 4: 10)
We don’t keep ourselves in His love, He keeps us there. (1 Peter 1: 3-5)
Salvation is totally of the Lord. (Jonah 2: 9)

The Believer’s Appetite

The Believer is alive unto God and proves it by his appetite. He hungers after righteousness, he thirsts after the water of Life. He cries for mercy. He seeks the Lord. These are evidences of the Life of God in the soul.

Dead men have none of these appetites.

Thank God for this spiritual appetite, for He will fill it.

The Importance Of This Fellowship To Me

1.) I am a believer, a son of God in Christ Jesus. God has been pleased to reveal His Son in me. He is my life, my hope, and my refuge. I live by His grace and grow on His Word. And so I must constantly be where I can hear His Word in power, in the Holy Ghost, and in assurance. I must be fed on the truth!

2.) I love Christ, He is precious to me, and so all that is of Christ (His church, His ordinances, and His people) is precious to me. I not only feel that I must be identified with them in this world but it’s also my greatest enjoyment to fellowship with believers around the person of Christ. I am just not happy or content around those who do not know or rejoice in Him. Where the people of Christ go, I will go; where they lodge, I will lodge; where they die, I will die, and there I will be buried. I will not be interested by whatever temptation there may arise to leave them.

3.) I am a frail human. I am subject to fall and subject to attacks from the world, the flesh, and the devil. I am not perfect and I have not arrived. I fear indifference, sin, and coldness of heart. Therefore, I need to be exhorted daily, I need to be encouraged, I need to be comforted, and I need to be rebuked. The world and its liberal preacher who cries “peace, peace” and the religionist will not do these things for me; only the true pastor and the true believer (who know my nature and need) can be all these things to me.

4.) I am a witness. Christ said, “Ye shall be my witnesses.” I am concerned for the salvation of my family, friends, and people around the world; therefore, I desire to bring my family and friends under the word of truth and help to send pastors, evangelists, preachers, and missionaries to other towns and countries to preach Christ.

My Father, I thank Thee for this fellowship of believers. I pray you will make them a blessing to me and will make me a blessing to them!
