Good Life Journal – Revelation 7

Scripture

Revelation 7:9-10 – After this I looked, and behold a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Observation –  

John is describing a great number of God’s people too large to count will be saved from every nation, tribe, people group and language.  The will be in white robes cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.  The redeemed respond with loud praise to the Father and Jesus for their salvation.

Application

I did not and cannot do anything to save myself from the eternal punishment I deserve for my sin.  We are saved by the grace of God when we place our faith and trust in Jesus that he died and rose again to overcome death for our sins.  God will save all His people who believed in his name and have the right to be called children of God.  How beautiful to know that brothers and sisters in Christ form every nation, tribe and language will be washed clean before the throne of God.  Our response should always be that of praise and worship to God for His saving grace.

 

Prayer

Father,

Thank you for your love grace and mercy in sending Jesus so I can repent, be reconciled and have a relationship with you.  Let me praise and worship you for Salvation that is only through faith in Jesus and use this to point all people to you.
