Unshakable Faith Foundation
UV 3690/10000 Unshakable Faith Foundation
Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe.
Hebrews 12 v 28
The kingdoms of this world have a shaky foundation and can be shaken but the kingdom of God is built on the rock of faith in Jesus. Hence, it cannot be shaken, displaced, supplanted, defeated. We are, therefore, to be grateful that we belong to such a kingdom. We have eternal security through our faith in Christ. We have permanent peace and victory over the vagaries of life. We are confident and need not be fearful of those who belong to such kingdoms that can be shaken.
As a sign of our gratitude that we belong to the kingdom of God, we should offer our lives as a pleasing sacrifice to God. Putting into constant practice, the principles we learn from the word is a rock foundation of faith on which we build our lives. We cannot say we worship the living and loving God if our lives do not reflect the influence of the teachings of Jesus on a daily basis in all that we do. The word supplies us with an abundance of “rock salt” that meets the deficiencies in our character and in our resources at one and the same time.
Our offering of praise, worship and thanksgiving becomes acceptable to God only when our heart attitudes and our lives coincide. The kingdom of God is not one of preachers but of “do-nation.” Our faith and reverence for God should be manifested in our words and deeds. God sees through us and knows our every thought and even the motive behind every thought. We need to prove like Jesus did that it is possible to live in accordance with His word in this world. The Holy Spirit continually aids, guides and encourages us as we make worship and reverence our lifestyle.
