      Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe. – Hebrews 12:28


    The Bible is filled with references to the inheritance that belongs to those who have believed in Jesus as Savior. For example, Paul writes in Ephesians 1:11, “In him we have obtained an inheritance…” and affirms in Colossians 3:24, “Knowing that from the Lord you will receive an inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” Like many promises of Scripture, there is a “now” component and one reserved for later. 

    What God has given you in the “now” is everything you need for living a life that honors and glorifies Him. He has promises to care for you through every circumstance, and His love is your motivation. He has set a race in front of you (Hebrews 12) and provided every sustenance you need as you run it.  

    Of course, the Christian’s destination is to be forever with the Lord in His abode… Heaven. Even though things on this earth are often shaken, God’s promise is for a destiny where nothing can possibly be shaken. Therefore, “let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe” (Hebrews 12:28, AMP). Embrace your heavenly citizenship today. Then pray for Americans living in these unstable times to turn to the Savior for their eternal inheritance in His promises.

    9 Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 

    15 And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
