Psalm 32:5 I acknowledge my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
Words of Assurance-The Fire of God
Dear Saints, see that you do not refuse God who is speaking to you today. For if the old testament saints did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns us from heaven.
In Old Testament times, God’s voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
You all have embraced Jesus Christ, offered to you in the Gospel. God has sent His Holy Spirit to you, the fire of God, to give you life, to translate you into his unshakeable kingdom, to purge and purify you and to fully consume you. He has received you as He receives His own dear Son, who was an acceptable sacrifice, offered up once for all the people. If God is for you, who can be against you?
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, for our God is a consuming fire.
