(1 Corinthians 3.9)
We as God’s servants, should always remember, that whatever we do for God that has His blessing will remain for eternity: and that all that we do is going to be tried, tested and proven. It may appear very good and acceptable in the eyes of our fellow-workers and fellow-men, but in the end, God will apply His own test. Remember that God always thinks of His work in terms of eternity.
What is in the mind of God in asking us to go and preach the Gospel? Why does He want souls? Why is He, our loving God, so concerned in seeing a lost sinner? Why is He so much after us? It is because He wants a sanctuary. He wants a house! We have to tell people from the beginning, just what is God’s purpose in saving us: He has desired that you and I build that house. Every believer must be given that privilege: though he may not accept it, yet he must be made conscious of being part of God’s sanctuary.
All the material used in the building of the tabernacle was to teach them in the first place about the Lord Jesus Christ, His grace, goodness, holiness, power, beauty, glory and fullness. And in the second place, how all of us become part of that fullness in becoming a member of that sanctuary—God’s habitation.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“His mercy is on them that fear him.” Luke 1:50.
