SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: 11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
OBSERVATION: In the revelation given to him, John is invited into the throne room of heaven. It is grand beyond description. Everything there focuses on the throne. The One seated there is the center of all attention. He is before all things, and He created all things.
Obviously, if He was before all things and He created all things, then all things were created for His purpose. (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:15-17)
APPLICATION: When this life is over, we will be judged according to the perfect life of Jesus living within us. His death will be the payment for our sins. We will be rewarded for the service we have done for the kingdom of God.
For our entrance into heaven, we will be judged according to the life of Jesus. Once there, we will be rewarded for our deeds of loving service. God is our faithful Judge; He will be faithful to judge that Jesus’ blood is sufficient to caver the cost of our sins; and He will be faithful to reward each one for their acts of obedience and service.
