Revelation 1:1
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, the which God Gave unto
him,Shew unto his Servants to things the which must shortly come to
pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant
John.”
The world passeth away, and the lust thereof. It clearly can be read in His Word, that is: “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” (1 John 2:17). And the Lord Jesus Christ does not want His servants to be the ones who draw back and perish. As it says in Hebrews 10:38, “Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ has shown and declared things which
must shortly come to pass at the end of this age. So that His servants,
who are the ones who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ,
continues to sanctify themselves and continue to do the truth in the
leadership of the Holy Spirit until Jesus Christ comes back. We can read
this in the book of 1 Peter 1:18-19,
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by
tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as
of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” and the book of Revelation 22:10-11,
“And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand. Unjust He that is, let him be Unjust
still: and he the which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that
is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him
be holy still.” He is the Righteous Judge on the Day of Judgment, who judges all of people with His gospel. Romans 2:16 declares this to us, “In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ According to my gospel.”
So how important we led by the Lord Jesus Christ with The Word and His
Holy Spirit, which brings us to the perfection of faith, to be holy and
perfect as Jesus Christ, in His glory forever. As the Lord says in the
book of Hebrews 12:2,
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; WHO for the
joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Amen.
