"...God's Rule"

"For the LORD most high is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth." (Psalms 47:2) As if we can make God do something by crying out to Him for help; He has more love for us than we could ever imagine, but that does not mean He is subject to our cries, especially since we hardly ever understand why we are crying in the first place. Yesterday I heard something different, that the 'body of Christ' and the 'bride of Christ' were not the same thing. I had never thought of it that way before, but if it is so, then the separation must be somehow connected to purity and commitment to the Lord. As I was thinking about this, I wondered if the body of Christ has sub par members; you know what I mean, members that don't quite cut the mustard; that would be those which have salvation, but have not really done anything worthy of rewards; especially not the special reward of being part of His bride. I do believe that there will be two separate compartments if you will in heaven, where there will be those that are within and those that are without; meaning those that will be ministers to God, and those that will be ministers to one another; or something like that. But these are things that we will know once we get to heaven; not really something that we can know for sure right now. What we can know for sure is that God is just, and because He is just, He will reward those that do right and He will reward those that do wrong; each based upon the way that they lived for Him. That is pretty much what this word "terrible" is referring to, in that God is to be feared against the day of judgment; for He will judge every one of us according to our works; works actually meaning the way that we have responded to His great love for us, individually. You see, here is the thing: although God is a great King over all the earth, He is also Lord over each and everyone of the earth's inhabitants; that would be you and I. Yesterday I also heard several messages that pretty much said the same thing, which was how there will be those in heaven that have regrets or sorrow. How can we have joy and sorrow together? Well, maybe we can have joy for being in heaven but sorrow for those that we caused to not be there; those in whom we did not witness properly the hope that was within us; or those that we failed to even witness to at all. I think part of loving others must consider their eternal condition, and where it is that they will be ending up once that they die. That is pretty much the main focus that I believe God has towards us, and is pretty much the main focus that He wants us to have for one another. That's His rule, and that's what I'm going with... "But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 1:9-11)
