"...To God's Majestic Name" -3

"Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever." (Psalms 93:5)
As short as this Psalm might be, it comes with great promise and majesty; and when I say majesty, I am talking about something that we become a part of, for ever! I know that I have said this before, but it warrants repeating: The Garden of Eden was not perfect before Adam and Eve fell and broke God's commandment. There was something in the Garden that was not right, besides the serpent, there was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. That tree was not just in the Garden, in was within the middle of the Garden, not on the border, and not in some obscure location; it was right there in plain sight, where it was almost never avoidable to look upon. Now you might not think that could be such a big deal, after all, Adam and Eve were walking in God's Light, or so many believe; it was the Light of God that caused them to not notice that they were naked, but as soon as they sinned, that Light was removed and they were ashamed of their nakedness. Not to be critical of anyone, but if someone continues to walk in sin, maybe that might cause them to feel as though they need to work off some of their sinfulness. Anywho, as I was saying, there was really never total satisfaction being experienced by Adam and Eve, so long as they had that Tree always tempting them to partake of it. The Good News about that, is that Tree will no longer be present in heaven; the Tree of Life will be there, but not the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Something else will be there also, the Light of God! There will be no need for the sun, because God will be all the Light that will be needed. And best of all, we will always and forever dwell in the Light! Right now we have God's Light dwelling in us, but in heaven we will be dwelling in the Light. That's a far cry from where we are now, having to walk in darkness, to deal with the darkness all around us, and to be subject to the temptation of all that the darkness represents. To the point made the other day, the one about the blade of grass and the fire, when we are cleansed from all unrighteousness, we become like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the Fiery Furnace; the flames no longer are harmful to us, yet they are hot enough to burn off all that binds us; that's the holiness of God...
"Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without question that oath is binding. God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek."  (Hebrews 6:16-20) NLT
