Hebrews 10:36
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of
God, you will receive what he has promised.”
We have need of endurance to be sure, but that very need is
fulfilled by virtue of the promise itself. We await that long-promised eternal
and heavenly rest of Christ, and yet, as all the redeemed are already secured
in the heavenly promise, so their perseverance is guaranteed. Even onto the end
of the age!
Matthew 16:27
“For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory
with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has
done.”
Judgment, swift and final, is promised in the last day. Take
heart, O believer, that your life is bound up with that of Christ Jesus. His
life is your life. His obedience is your obedience. His resurrection is your
resurrection. And when He stands to the fore in judgment, rejoice! For you will
not stand before Him but alongside Him: holy, righteous, good, and acceptable!
