You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Job 36:7
7 He withdraweth [gara`] not his eyes [`ayin] from
the righteous [tsaddiyq]: but with kings [melek] are they on the throne [kicce']; yea, he doth establish [yashab] them for ever [netsach],
and they are exalted [gabahh]. KJV-Interlinear
7 'He does not withdraw His eyes
from the righteous; But with kings on
the throne He has seated them forever, and they are exalted. NASB
Here is our royalty status, our eternal security with
God in heaven forever.
God constantly watches over those who belong to
Him. All believers, all who have
believed in Christ (our present day), who have believed in the Savior (back in
the Old Testament days), all are believers in the one and only Son of God, the
redeemer, the advocate, the savior.
And to them (you and me) belongs the inheritance of
all of heaven and beyond.
God shows favor to all who have believed in Him
(Christ). And since God is deity, God is
royalty, God is the supreme power and sovereign of this universe and beyond, then
we being in His favor will live as kings, as royalty. And we will live forever in heaven with God.
This is His sovereign promise, and God is the only one
who can keep His promises.
Psa. 34:15.
'The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous.'
Rev. 3:21.
'To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in
my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne,'.
Rev 1:5-6.
'Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins
in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father,
to him be glory,'
The fundamental promises that we have grown up with in
our New Testament, Job and all of the Patriarchs knew very well even back in
ancient times.
No royalty in human history have sat on their thrones
forever. All have come and gone and most
are now dead. But this is not a
reference to temporal kings, but spiritual kings, royalty which God has made
both you and I, simply because we have believed in His divine plan, His Son,
His salvation.
None of us were born into royalty. None of us won royalty on the
battlefield. None of us have seized
power through cunning or deceit or marriage.
These are all flawed and false appointments to royalty, pursued by ego
and power driven people, or simply the luck of a birth.
But Gods appointments are just, and right, and fair, and
permanent. No one is promoted unless God
promotes them, and when God promotes, that promotion is permanent.
Salvation is permanent, being born and being born
again is permanent, and so our royal status is permanent.
The spiritual life is an exclusive club whose
membership has only one thing in common - faith in Christ. The spiritual life is proprietary to
believers only, and any one who has not believed in Christ, will never have
access to or benefit from the spiritual life.
Likewise, the benefits of spiritual growth accrue to
advancing believers only. Immature
believers will never have the blessings that mature believers receive, just as
an immature child cannot possess the blessings of maturity. One has to become mature in order to
experience the blessings and realities of maturity.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
