Protection!

For Friday, December 9, 2022:

Revelation 3:10 NLT: “Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world.”

God is sharing this Revelation with the Apostle John near the end of his time on the island of Patmos. John goes on to share this with the world!

Mankind will live once and then come to a time of judgment. Those who continue to steadfastly follow Jesus will receive special protection on judgment day. Continuing to follow the Son is the key. Jesus took away our sin; took it to the bottom of the deepest ocean; separated sin from us as far as the east is from the west!

When we get to the pearly gates, we can remain confident as they search for our name in the Book of Life. When found, they’ll look over to the column marked ‘sin,’ and it will be empty. Blank. No scratch-outs, no erasure marks. Just blank white space! That’s surprising since the Bible says that ALL have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory! But with the protection of Jesus, it’s as if our sin never happened!

That’s what Jesus did for you! It’s a free gift for all believers!
