Revelation 12-14

Brethren, God is awesome. He shows us once more in the book of Revelation how Satan, the dragon or whatever name he has, will try to defy Him and deceive us; but again and again the good news are the defeat of Satan through our Lord Jesus Christ prevail. "The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray" Revelation 12:9 and "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accusers of our brothers, who accuses them day and night, has been hurled down. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Therefore rejoice you heavens and you who dwell in them! Revelation 12:10-12

God continues in the book of Revelation to give us words of encouragement and protection. "Then I looked and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion and with him 144,000, who had his name and his Father's name on their forehands." Revelation 14:1 and continues in verse 4, " They were purchased from among men and offered as first fruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless". Praise God. He has reserved an special seat for those who follow and obey Him. He has made us blameless, not because of our actions, but because of His grace. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ!
Brethren, let us strive for the hope we have in Him to be in heaven for eternity. During the short time we spend on this earth let us not be hearers but passionately let us be doers. Let us humbly accept the word that has been planted in our hearts to be a testimony of love and with certainty we'll be saved as He has announced that we will be with Him forever. Praise God for giving us Christ Jesus!
