Pick a Chair!

The book of Revelation is the final challenge given to us by God in the Bible. Throughout all 66 books of Scripture God is tasking us to a more meaningful life - a life filled with purpose, hope, grace, love and more. From the breath of God, through the pen of men, we were given the instruction manual for life.

From Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 there are over 31,100 verses of instruction, warning, redemption and expectation for all those that say they are God-loving, God-fearing, and God-following people. The Scriptures come to a close with this encouraging verse:

“May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.” Revelation 22:21

But within this promise of hope we find the final challenge as well. God’s grace and promise of an eternity with Him in Heaven is secured for only “God’s holy people.”

Summer is coming to a close. A new season is beginning. And with a new season comes a natural opportunity to go bigger or get better. The prophet Amos and the Apostle John show us there are two types of people who will shout, “He is coming soon!” One group living for God, and one group that is not. Which group do you sit with?
