Ever thought about Sin and Heaven? Have you thought about how the two CANNOT co-exist?
We just talked about that the last two Sundays in Sunday School studying 1 Peter 1:3-5. But interestingly enough John MacArthur, Grace to You Ministries is now featuring "HEAVEN" on the Grace to You Radio Broadcast.
Here is a quick note of what he is saying (taken from listed transcript):
Sin has crippled our soul. It has marred our spirit. It has scarred the faculties of thought and will and feeling. And so we long for the day when that eternal seed within us will bloom into fullness and we will be redeemed from head to toe, from outside to inside. The time will come, and what a tremendous thought, when God Himself with His penetrating eyes to discern every single thing in existence will scrutinize you and scrutinize me with those fiery penetrating eyes and will go to the very smallest piece of our being and find absolutely no trace of sin. Won't that be incredible? But that's what's coming. God will per...will perceive us in every single dimension of our existence as absolutely and perfectly and eternally holy and righteous and without flaw."
It is SUCH a comfort to hear these words, especially as my wife and I drove in for yet another liver biopsy for her today.
Here is one more quote, then I'll give you the link to go HEAR the entire message from John MacArthur TODAY:
So, heaven then is the place of the perfection, the eternal perfection of soul and body. We lose all of our fallenness. We come into all of God's planned perfection. We enter heaven perfect. In fact, dear friends, no one ever enters heaven who isn't absolutely perfect. No one ever goes there to stay to dwell who is not absolutely perfect."
Gotta LOVE THAT!!!
