Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Receiving a kingdom which CANNOT be moved…
We just talked about the heavens and earth being shaken and things being removed, and now we are talking about a kingdom which cannot be moved. It's that simple isn't it?
What can be moved and cannot be moved.
Things not of God and things of God.
If we are God's we will NOT be moved, we will not be removed from all existence. All things that are not God's will be removed it's that simple.
We are told- we who receive the kingdom- receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, cannot be moved and then we are told to have grace- grace so we may SERVE God ACCEPTABLY with REVERENCE and GODLY FEAR. Why? Because our GOD is a CONSUMING FIRE.
A consuming fire.
Believing God is a big ol' softy who will not harm anyone or anything is wrong. What He will never do, is harm anyone or anything UNJUSTLY.
Let us have grace.
Grace is not forced upon anyone. No one will be forced against their will to receive the grace of God. Those who refuse the grace of God will one day cry out that they should have been forced, but force is not love.
We are not forced but we are chastened. We are shown the errors of our ways. We are guided lovingly, if strictly and at times painfully- because God says no chastening for the present seems pleasant, but accepting the chastening and learning from it, learning the lesson we are being taught is necessary.
Let us have grace.
Having grace is accepting Christ as our Savior, accepting He and He alone can save us through that grace of His.
1Pe_5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Oh, please, let us have grace!
Let us serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
Serve, please let us serve You, let Your will be done in us. Help us to revere You as we should, help us to have godly fear as we fully comprehend that You are a CONSUMING FIRE. You are not one who will compromise any of what You are, You will never compromise Your love, never. You have laid ALL Your cards on the table plain for all to see. You have explained Your plan of salvation leaving nothing out, nothing whatsoever. You leave it for every human being to decide whether or not they want You and accept Your plan of salvation.
Lord, we choose You.
Lord, we serve You, help our serving be acceptable to You.
Lord, help us to revere You.
Lord, help us have a godly fear of You.
Lord, help us to comprehend that You are a consuming fire, never forgetting, never soft-selling You. Never believing that sin will not be eradicated fully in every aspect by Your consuming fire.
All by Your love.
