Prophet's Column “The Lord Has Promised Good To Me” This world is full of sor rows, strife, heartaches, envy, jealousy, hatred, bitterness, prejudices, backbiting, and misery of every kind you can name. But I praise the Lord I have a living Hope, which is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The believer’s life is a thankful life. I’m thankful first of all for God elect ing me in Christ before the foundation of the world, (Eph. 1:4). The believer has much to overcome in this evil world, but the Lord has promised good to me; ’’To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne,...” (rev. 3:21). Could I have a greater promise of good? No. To sit with the Lord of all the Universe in His throne is the greatest good in all the Universe. Are you going to sit with Him? I am. Not because of anything I have done, but because Christ died for me. He purchased me from the slave market of Satan with His own blood. I don’t care what the world says, the Lord is on the throne. Isn’t it good to know that one day all my trials will be over and I will enter into eternal bliss with my Lord. Never to be troubled with sin again. This is the good the Lord has promised to me. In this world I am the object of hatred and all the bitter ness of unsaved men. But when my Lord comes, I will be delivered out of this present evil world where no man can touch or harm me. Away from all the strife of tongues of ‘ evil and un saved men. This world is not my home. inis present worm is ail the unsaved hearts know or desure, you have no hope for eternity. TTiat is why you live as beasts. And it can be rightly said of you as it was of Judas; “It had been better for that man that he had never been born.” Just as I and every bornagain believer am about to go out into un speakable bliss with Christ, so is every unbeliever about to go out into un speakable damnation and - torment in Hell. You don’t believe that but one day soon you will know exactly what I’m talking about. In II Cor. 4:17-18 the beloved Apostle Paul spoke of the good the Lord has pro J. M. Little mised to me; ‘‘For our light afflication, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceed ing and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things what are not seen: for the things which are seen are tempor al ; but the things which are not seen are eternal." In other words, Paul is say ing that all the afflications of the believer are light, or little in contrast to the hea venly glory that I shall one day receive. Isn’t that gra cious? When I cross over on the other side and look back I’ll wish I could have suffered more for my Lord. The trials and troubles we go through here below are nothing contrasted with sit ting with my Lord in His Throne. That is going to be and will be eternal Hea ven sitting in the Throne with Christ. Paul further says that we are not look ing at the things which are seen, the earthly gains, but at the things which are not seen, the heavenly. Is that the case with you? It is with me. If in this life only I had hope, I’d be of all men most miserable. You unbeliev ers have nothing to look forward to, when you come to die you’ll leave all be hind that your heart has ever desired or loved.

M-F you'll go out into eternity without Christ, to endure the torture of the damned. There is a Heaven to win, and a Hell to shun. This world is but the preparing place for the two. Don’t tell me you are saved when I can’t find fellowship with you in. Christ. If you are saved, your life testifies of your being saved. One, you love the brethren. Now you can say you are saved and you carry bitterness and hatred in your heart for some one? Your heart is de ceived. How can you say you are saved and you have no compassion for others? Every bornagain believer has compassion for others. As a believer, you know that one day the Lord of all compassion had mercy on your poor, lost soul and redeemed you. Show me an individual who is hateful and bitter and I’ll show you an individual who knows nothing about the Lord. The believer is constrained by Christ, and the love of God which is shed abroad in the heart of every believer. That love is evi denced everywhere the be liever goes.

Carolina First Realtors 376-1111 -abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit, (Rom. 5:5). You would be a happy soul if the love of God were shed abroad in your heart. And as the poet said; “The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures: He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yes, when this flesh and heart fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the vail, A life of joy and peace. When I’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, I’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, Than when I first begun.” Can you say that? I can. Friends, you’d give ten thousand worlds just to know Christ. For if you knew Him, you’d have the greatest gift of Hea ven. How is it between you and the Lord? I would not exchange Christ for ten thousand worlds. Would you? Every awakened sin ner, Christ is your only hope. Look to Him alone. Are you looking to Him? How many of you heard our late pastor L. R. Shelton over WAGI 105.6 fm this morning? The message is still the same; it’s repent or go to Hell!
