What a great honor our Sovereign God has bestowed on his people
The HONOR of being partakers of his Divine nature
The HONOR of being called his son, or daughter
The HONOR of calling the Great Jehovah God, "My Father"
The HONOR of being in a living union with Jesus Christ, the true and living God ..... FOREVER
Did you ever notice what a great difference there is between the God who is revealed in the Bible and the god that is being preached today? The God of the prophets and apostles is not even similar to the god of todays preachers. The modern concept of God, which is prevalent today, even among those who profess to believe the Bible is a miserable misconception and a terrible perversion of the truth.
The God of the 20th century is a helpless, effeminate creature who commands the respect of no truly thoughtful man. The god of this age is nothing more than an emotional, sentimental, sympathetic being without any real power. The god who is preached in most pulpits, even in the most conservative churches , is an object to be pitied, not a GOD to be worshiped.
To say that God the father has purposed the salvation of mankind, that God the Son died with the express intention of saving the whole human race and that God the holy Spirit is now seeking to win the world to Christ, when with common observation it is apparent that the great majority of our fellow men are dying in sin and passing into a hopeless eternity is to say that God the Father is disappointed, that God the Son is dissatisfied, and that God the Holy Spirit is defeated .
I state this very plainly but there is no escaping this conclusion. Let me be perfectly understood. To say that God is trying his best to save all men, but that the majority of men will not let God save them is to say that the will of God is impotent and the will of man is omnipotent. that is nothing short of blasphemy! Many try to blame Satan but that doesn't work. If Satan is defeating the purpose of God, then Satan is almighty and God is no longer supreme. And that is also blasphemy.
Brethren, if we believe God is sovereign and worship him in spirit and truth, then the GREAT HONOR of being his child is bestowed upon us. What a blessing it is to give God all the honor, praise and Glory due his name FOREVER, Jesus Christ the Lord.
