“Some (Final) Questions”
“Some (Final) Questions”
“Jesus answered,… What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt know hereafter.” John 13:7
What has God done with my forgiven sin? “And their
(believers) sins and iniquities will I remember no more” (Heb.
10:17). God doesn’t remember them, so why should we? He
totally forgives and refuses to bring them up again. Sadly,
most people don’t!
Do you think we are near the end according to prophecy? I
do not know. God sees time differently from us. ” … one day is
with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one
day” (II Peter 3:8). Beware of date setters for Christ’s return.
They are always wrong. Just before returning to Heaven, Jesus
told the apostles, who asked the time for His return, “It is not for
you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put
in his own power” (Acts 1:7). Wise men will leave this alone.
Incidentally, Jesus will be here when He gets here!
Who does God use to accomplish His will? Being totally
sovereign He uses who and what He chooses to accomplish
whatever He pleases, whether we like it or not! God said,
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways
my ways, saith the LORD.” (Isa. 55:8)
Will we know each other in Heaven? Scripture says,
” … we shall be like him; … “ (I John 3:2). Whoever and whatever we will know in Heaven, it will be perfect like our
Saviour! Our Book says of the sorrows of this life ” … the former
shall not be remembered, nor come into mind” (Isa. 65:17).
P.S. Dr. H. Randy Pike (1932-2023) went to be with our
Lord and Saviour, March 15, 2023. He will be greatly missed
by this preacher! He was one of the two greatest prayer
warriors I ever personally knew in my short lifetime. A true
man of God! (Above is from his last prayer letter.)
