"The King and The Bride" -2

"I will make Thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise Thee for ever and ever." (Psalms 45:17) I took the liberty of making those "T"s into capitals because I do have a red star beside this verse in my Bible; there are four verses in this Psalm that I have previously marked with red stars: 2, 6, 7 and 17 all speak directly of Jesus Christ and cannot be given to anyone else. That said, the reason the Bride is included into the title of this post is because of association with "the people", those that will be praising the King for ever and ever. Which makes me wonder how anyone could not get what praising Jesus represents; why would the Father allow everyone to praise Jesus if He was not God? doesn't it seem clear that if we are to be worshiping Him for ever and ever, then He must be who He said that He was? The way that I see it, His bride knows who that He is, and He knows His bride; no one that is His needs to try and figure out who He is, because it has been revealed to those that He has called unto Himself; those that accept the call, He enters into their hearts and He fellowships with them, revealing who that He is and giving them the peace and the joy that cannot be taken away. That is what really makes those that are His Bride secure, knowing who He is, and that He is God, and that He will fulfill every promise that He has made. Talk about stability, there is nothing that can compare to the stability of the relationship that we have with Jesus Christ; this life might be as crazy and unstable as anything can get, but He does not change, and His promises are for ever and ever; we just need to believe... "For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are Three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these Three are One. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." (1 John 5:4-8)
