"There Will Be Glory"

"The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked." (Psalms 58:10) Yes, God's wrath will be served; you can't even imagine the heat of anger that will be as an everlasting fire, burning forever. I know that might seem to have less than an awesome love ring to it, but it's not God's choice for anyone, it is our choice; we get to choose where we will be, just as we get to choose who we will serve. Looking back to that verse from yesterday, the word "pots" kind of throws you off a little, because in the definition of its meaning, it has the idea of boiling, or bubbling up, like a boiling pot, or even the redundant and luxuriant growth of plants; while the word "thorns" actually speaks more about roots, roots that are firm, such as buckthorn or bramble. Basically, there is a point that compares glory to glory, as in, we can glory in the flesh, which is pointless because this flesh is so temporary, or we can glory in God, which is unending and eternal; and besides that, He will be glorified anyways, so we might as well take part in it now while we can, and while we have a choice; you really don't want to end up on the wrong side of God's glory, if you get the point. Besides that, if you take anything away from what Paul was speaking about in Romans 6:1-11, is should be the fact that our old nature was crucified with Christ on that cross; which actually means, in case you have not figured it out, that it is done; I mean, like Jesus was crucified on that cross two thousand years ago, so it is pointless to try and crucify your old sin nature now, because it was done long before you were even born; therefore, we must 'reckon' it is done, as the King James puts it, or we 'should consider' it is done, as to the New Living Translation. Either way you might want to look at it, we are blessed beyond compare by what Christ has done for us; for He has not only died for our sins, but He has given us new life in Himself; a glorious new life, that will last forever and ever... "Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God's grace. Well then, since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living." (Romans 6:12-18) NLT
