Revelation 4
Today’s Passage: Revelation 4
John has finished addressing the churches and in our passage today he is caught up... God was going to show him a glimpse of heaven. That is incredible to think about. Revelation 4 paints an incredible picture of God in heaven. It paints an incredible picture of the pureness, majesty, and beauty of God in heaven. We get to look forward to this undefiled kingdom for eternity as believers in Jesus. Some things stick out (and what is cool to think about this is not just later this is now!):
1) GOD IS ENTHRONED IN HEAVEN.
Right now, God is on His throne in heaven... is He on the throne of your heart? We love to live in the driver seat of our life but we were never designed to sit on the throne of our heart. We are designed for a surrendered relationship with God.
2) GOD IS WORSHIPED IN HEAVEN.
Right now, God is being worshiped in heaven... is He worshiped supremely in our lives? He should be the cry of our heart at all times. He should be the object of our worship. Is He?
3) GOD IS HOLY.
“God is holy. And if God is holy He is the most trustworthy being in existence because God cannot sin against you.” (Jackie HIll Perry). God is holy. And He is not just holy. He is holy, holy, holy. 1 Peter calls us to be holy because He is holy. Are we pursuing holiness?
4) GOD IS WORTHY.
God is worthy of all the praise He receives. Do we live like it? We are called in Philippians 1 to live worthy lives of the gospel... aka to live like the gospel is true. How can you live more worthily for God this week?
