Leviticus 10:3
3 And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying:
‘By those who come near Me
I must be regarded as holy;And before all the peopleI must be glorified.’ ”
By those who come near to God, God must be regarded as holy.
Many think, they can go to God just as they goto world.how we dress up before the world,how we speak before the worldhow behave with the world.We think we can goto God in the same way,
Today many say Iam friend.True , but He is Holy God.Worship Him in the beauty of His Holiness
Revelation 1:17
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
He fell at His feet as a dead man.
But the Lord says whoever comes near to me, He must be regarded as Holy.
You must believe that He is.
You must believe that He is not a man to lie, He is not a man to turn away from promises.
He is HOLY GOD.
Second Part is
He must be glorified before all people
God must be glorified in all your well being.
Genesis 14: 21,22
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the [g]persons, and take the goods for yourself.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’—
Not only that God will be glorified in our sufferings.
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
14 If you are [e]reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [f]On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
One reason why believers are afraid to share gospel or to stand as testimony is this they do not know what blessing it is in suffering.
Today i called one of my colleague.
But there is blessing in suffering. when we know this blessing ,We can be boldly proclaim gospel.
Romans 8:18
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
No comparison of what shall be revealed in us.
The glory that shall be revealed in us is so great , the things that we suffer are not even compared.
No comparison of what shall be revealed in us.
The glory that shall be revealed in us is so great , the things that we suffer are not even compared.
Everything in this world perishes-
There is an exceeding joy when His glory is revealed.
Do not be ashamed of the gospel
1 John 3:2
When He is revealed, we shall be like Him.
1 Peter 1:3-5
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance [b]incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Inheritance
1) Living Hope
2) Incorruptible
3) Undefiled
4) Does not fade away
5) Reserved in heaven
That gives boldness to share the gospel.
This is how God created man in His likeness. and the glory of man is like Jesus Christ.
