FROM TODAY’S READING (4/21/2022)…
“If you are rich, do not rejoice in your wealth, because your riches will fly away. Instead, rejoice that your name is written in Heaven. If you are a person of learning, thank God for it and use it to his glory. But do not make it your source of joy. Rather, rejoice that your name is written in Heaven. Do you have a position of leadership in Christ’s church? Thank God and glorify him in it. But rejoice first that your name is in the Book of Life. Do you have great gifts? Are you a meteor among many stars? Has God used you? Is he using you now? Fine. But rejoice first and foremost in this: your name is written in Heaven.”
R. Kent Hughes
Luke 10:20 (NLT) But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.
Hebrews 12:23 (NLT) You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect.
