HIS GOAL IS NOT FOR YOUR REVERENCE
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him”
John 3:17 (ESV)
You don’t define God’s relationship with man with your head.Your understanding of God’s relationship with man must be according to the heart of God. God doesn’t define situations by how we feel, but according to His purpose and grace. Since a lot of people have not experienced the truth of God’s love, they interpret the things of God with their selfish lenses. For example, some people think that the death of Jesus is in contest for their reverence. Jesus didn’t die for you because He wants you to revere Him by trembling before Him. Listen, you cannot stand before God in the fullness of His glory and not revere Him.
His goal is not for your reverence, His goal is that you shall have His life and become His expression.
The idea that Jesus died for God to have many worshippers, is not really God’s goal. Yes, when one beholds God’s love and glory, you cannot than to respond in worship. Worship is our response to who God is. It is not the demand of God. Also, God wants to have many sons. However, to be a son of God is essentially for the benefit of those who are adopted into sonship. You become an heir of God and enjoy God’s eternal inheritance. And this is God sharing His life and glory with you.Jesus didn’t die as sin on the cross to demand your reverence. Though He deserves your reverence, He doesn’t demand it. His love is not saying “My dear if you don’t reverence me, I will strike you with sickness and diseases. Or I will take My Holy Spirit away from you.” The loving expression of Christ is not in competition with and for your works and efforts. All you’ve got to do is acknowledge and believe in His finished work, which was achieved through His death and resurrection.
Am I attempting to say, “It is not necessary to revere God?”
Far from it!
I want you to see the motive of God concerning you.
You are the focus of His love.
God esteems His plans and purposes because they are designed to benefit you in all eternity. God is not looking for the opportunity to condemn you. He wants you to experience His love and saving grace.
In truth, when you come to appreciate His love, you will unforcefully and restfully reverence and express His Love. Shalom!DIG DEEPER(John 6:40; Ephesians 1:3-12; Luke 1:74-75; Philippians 2:12-13) WE PRAYThat our motive of service and relationship with God will be according to His love and not the fear of condemnation.
