The Daily Word of Righteousness

That the World May Believe, continued

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Isaiah 60:2,3)

The Day of Redemption is at hand now. The Kingdom of God is at hand. The Lord Jesus is coming soon to reveal His redeeming glory through the saints. Then the world will believe and be released into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The saints have been called out from among the peoples of the earth. God has placed His Spirit in us. God has anointed us with the holy Oil of His Glory.

God is training us, teaching us, guarding us, chastening us, bringing us through numerous experiences, surveying every thought we think, every word we speak, every reaction, every expression of our personality.

All the movements of history, of current world politics, of the rise and fall of prominent personages, the various disasters and blessings of nature, the marching of armies and the sailing of navies, are working together to bring about the conforming of the saints to the image of Christ.

There is a purpose guiding all this process. Everything that takes place on the earth is under strict Divine control—to the fall of a sparrow to the ground. The Lord Jesus the Christ working in the limitless authority and power of almighty God is bringing the Word of God to pass in the heavens and on the earth.

God's dear ones are protected with the most diligent and loving care imaginable.

The saints will be filled with the Glory of Christ and all mankind will see and understand that the Presence and power of the God of Heaven have come to dwell in His Church.

The destiny of the Church of Christ is to be the light of the world, the only light of the world. When we have been prepared for His coming He will appear and reveal His Glory through us so the world may believe.

God so loved the world He gave His Son. His Son is revealed through the Church. Whoever of the world beholds the Son and believes in Him will not perish but will pass from spiritual death to spiritual life.

Christ is coming soon and the conquering saints will return with Him. Not all who profess belief in Jesus will return with Him but those who are filled with His eternal Life, those who are being transformed into His image. The lukewarm believers will not be revealed with Jesus at His appearing.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (I Thessalonians 4:14)

Christ will return to earth and the victorious saints will return with Him, so the world may behold His glory in us and believe, and believing receive salvation from God's wrath and deliverance from the power of Satan.

Earth's perishing multitudes and, in fact, all the physical creation are awaiting the shining of the Glory of Christ through His saints.
