Observations from today’s readings and today’s S-WOD, Tuesday, 29 October 2024:

Revelation 21:2 — And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God….

Here is a message by Sinclair Furguson on “A Holy City”: https://www.ligonier.org/learn/conferences/upholding-christian-ethics-2022-national-conference/a-holy-city

Revelation 21:6 – And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.”

God’s provision is free and unending for those who desire it and accept it.

Revelation 21:7 – The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

Eternal life is enjoying a childlike love relationship with God and growing up to be like the Father.

Revelation 21:8 – But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.

Fear and disbelief prevent you from sharing in God’s inheritance.

Second death is death after resurrection for judgment and is shared by all unbelievers. If you are born twice (physical birth and spiritual birth through salvation in Jesus) you will die once (the physical death). If you are born once (physical birth) you will die twice (physical death, and permanently dead in spirit, as you are born).

Revelation 21:10-21 – And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

You are part of the holy new Jerusalem with all its glory and beauty.

“Cross” Fit S-WOD (Spiritual Workout of the Day) – 29 October 2024: Make your relationship with Jesus your top priority today and every day. (Revelation 21:7)
