Who is the group of people that is promised an eternity of
blessing? What type of adminstration surpasses the system
of law and justice that we have? Is there anyone that has
not heard of the supreme system?
The Psalmist declared that the "born again believer" is
promised the blessing of God from today until eternity-
"Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to
eternity. So be it. Amen" (Psa 41:14). It was the Word
and promise that he trusted. He relied upon it; trust
and confidence that God intended good for him forever.
Paul explained that the purpose of God througout time
has revealed that the administration of righteousness
far surpasses that of the law, because it is greater-
"For if the ministry of law and condemnation had glory,
the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in
glory" (2Co 3:9). Many recognize that the law and justice
of man's system sometimes fail, but God has instructed us
with the law as a teacher; He has shown His righteousness
that will endure forever for it is perfect.
Isaiah the prophet preached that everybody must have
known or heard at one time there is an Eternal Lord-
"Don't you know? Haven't you heard? The Lord is always
the Everlasting God; He created all the world. He never
grows tired or weary. No one understands His thoughts"
(Isa 40:28). We can't comprehend His ability or power,
but we can understand the parts of Himself that He has
revealed to us. His Son Jesus was revealed to us to
pardon and redeem us from the penalties of sin.
Let us remember the God that is our Everlasting God. God's
Name is Jehová El Olam. He is the God of Eternity that always
was and always will be. He is the God who has an eternal purpose
for us that Exceeds what any mind may conceive. He understands
human frailty and the shortness of life. Lift your hands to Him
and Praise Him today for the fact that He is the God who is our
Everlasting God that will always be there for us!
