12
saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might, be to our God forever and ever.
Amen." NASB
And what is everyone in
heaven saying with regard to Jesus Christ, the one on the throne, the one who
is the savior, the lamb who made Himself the sacrifice for us all?
Enclosed
between two ‘amens.’ Amen, ‘amen’ is an expression of strong
affirmation of that which is said, is strongly believed by those who say
it.Amen means, it is so, believe it, it
is truth, and therefore must be believed.
And what was said? That of everything that is good is ascribed
to God, every blessing is traced to Him, everything
that is excellent is attributed to Him.
Blessing,
‘eulogia,’ adoration, benediction, consecration, benefit, bounty, approval,
sanction, consent.
Glory, ‘doxa,’ dignity,
honor, praise, worship, magnificence, splendor, beauty.
Wisdom, ‘sophia,’ knowledge, understanding, perception,
application.
Thanksgiving, ‘eucharistia,’ gratitude, appreciation, recognition,
credit.
Honour,
‘time,’ value,
precious, price paid, esteem, intrinsic.
Power, ‘dunamis,’ ability,
strength, miraculous effort.
Might, ‘ischus,’ force, capacity, valor.
God, ‘theos,’
highest authority and sovereign.
Today in this world, the objects
of worship are a dime a dozen.Whether
they are false gods, idols, secular objects or philosophies, or simply relying
one ones own opinion about life, they are all false
and worthless and powerless.
God is everything that
they are not.And Jesus Christ is the
one and only God in all of creation and in heaven, on whom the entire Bible is
focused.
Before you were born into
this world, you had no say as to what your life would be like, and probably
very little say as to what you could do with your life, during your life.
But, with respect to
heaven and eternity, your next life, you have every opportunity to define and
design what your life will be like then.
That definition and design, comes through your daily study of the Word
of God and your spiritual growth.Those
who advance in their spiritual life will receive blessings beyond their imaginations. Those who do not advance,
will receive nothing.Review the studies
of the parables.
And were it not for the
fact that every person has an opportunity to advance in their spiritual life,
then people might have an excuse, but such is not the case. God provides us all with doctrine and
opportunity.You have to decide if your
future in heaven has any meaning to you at all, and what if anything you are
going to do about it.
