Heavenly Glory!

Heavenly Glory! by Don Fortner Those who trust the Lord Jesus Christ are "heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ." GLORY awaits us! I do not pretend to know much about it; but I do know this - In that blessed state called GLORY, every chosen, blood bought, saved sinner shall be WITH Christ and LIKE Christ forever! IN HEAVEN'S GLORY, the purpose of God in sovereign, eternal election and predestination will be fulfilled (Rom. 8:29; Eph. 1:4-6). One great object of our heavenly Father in choosing us unto salvation in Christ was that we might be made perfect, holy, unblameable, and unreproveable before him- not just as a matter of judicial record, but in actuality! And God shall have his purpose fulfilled. IN HEAVENLY GLORY, our great Savior "Shall See of the Travail of His Soul, and Shall Be Satisfied." The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ shall not be discovered a miscarriage. Every blood-bought sinner will be presented by him, before the presence of the glory of the triune God, washed in his blood, robed in his righteousness, in the perfection of absolute holiness (Jude 24-25). So thorough and complete is that righteousness which he makes to be ours that when God himself searches for our iniquities, transgressions, and sins, he shall find none! (Jer. 50:20) IN HEAVENLY GLORY, all the truest, deepest desires and longings of every saved sinner shall at last be perfectly fulfilled! What is it that you truly want, my brother, my sister? In the depths of your soul, what do you truly desire? Does your heart long to be free from all sin and pant for perfect holiness? Do you crave perfect, uninterrupted communion and fellowship with Christ? Does your soul beg for grace to live in absolute, perfect consecration to God? All this shall be yours in that state of glory awaiting us. All this, and more, is included in this promise- "We Shall Be LIKE Him, for We Shall See Him as He Is!"
