Hello GSHd. I won't pretend to understand everything about Revelation 7. But I do know that the last verse, verse 17, is very beautiful:
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. (ESV)
As believers, this is our shared destiny.
I do also feel, as I go through Revelation, that I'm getting a little more out of it each time :)
Thank you JDJDJD! Your words are very encouraging. This is my testimony: I've been a Christian for a long time, since the seventies. But I've only started really intensely to study / meditate on / memorize God's Word since December 2014 when I found Memverse. Then in May 2015 I started on this site. Anyway, my life is different since I started doing this. I have a lot more peace and I feel closer to Him than I did before. I really love studying His Word. We love doing that because we love Him! And we love Him because He first loved us. Amen.
You are most certainly making progress Robinshe! Your devotion to God's Word most certainly has been bearing fruit in your life, perhaps in ways you are not even aware of yet.
Hello Annette! I see that you are adding a description to the new passages you learn. That's a useful method. I like it since, that way, you can look at your list of verse sets at some later date and use that as a kind of outline of each book you are studying :)
Hello madisonoriginal2. I like that chapter a lot. No other gospel ... I also like verse 4, "He gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age..." (ESV)
Verse one speaks this to me, that we must always maintain a sense of readiness -- a readiness to meet our Savior. Our earthly tent could be taken away when we least expect it.
God is good, isn't He? His Word enables us to see that this world attempts to deceive us into thinking that He is something other than good. But He is good and all of His ways are just and righteous and holy.
