~ God Rules ~
This
Series ~ This
series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Introduction ~ The
Lord rules in the hearts of His believers today. In this post we focus on His
future universal rule.
Scripture ~ “But
why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: ‘As
I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall
confess to God.’ So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.
Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to
put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way” (Romans 14:9-13).
“Let
this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of
God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no
reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of
men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became
obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also
has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those
on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:5-11).
"Look
to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no
other. I have sworn by Myself; the Word has gone out of My mouth in
righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every
tongue shall take an oath. He shall say, ‘Surely in the Lord I have
righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come, and all shall be ashamed who
are incensed against Him. In the Lord all the descendants of Israel shall be
justified, and shall glory’” (Isaiah 45:22-25).
