GOD REVEALS HIMSELF
Hebrews 1:1-4
Hebrews 1:2-3: “but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom He created the world. And He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Loving Unbeliever devotion breaks the hearts of Christians who know really great people who haven’t yet come to believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. We know they’ll perish, or spend eternity in hell (for their disbelief in God’s Son) after they die (John 3:16).
For them, believers hope there’s someplace like hell lite ….
For them, we pray that God will lead them by His Spirit to Christ very soon. We’ve done all we can to lead them to Jesus. We’ve “preached” God’s Word to them. We invited them to church. We pray for their eternal life. We’ve failed them. We ask You, Father, to reveal Yourself to them. We ask for Your Spirit to lead them to Your Son, Jesus!
For You have revealed Yourself to everyone on earth. If people don’t understand that the rainbow in the sky is Your promise to never destroy the earth by water again (Genesis 9:13), they won’t believe us.
Believers see God’s handprint everywhere. We praise Your creativity with weird and wondrous animals. We thank You for the perfect world we live in. We apologize for being lousy stewards of earth. Global climate change and extinct animals broadcast our being terrible caretakers of this awesome planet. And we confess our stubborn burning of fossil fuels for our own comfort and pleasure.
You, Father, chose to reveal Yourself through people’s conscience. Unbelievers instinctively obey God’s laws that are written on their hearts, knowing right from wrong (Romans 2:15). Even atheists don’t lie, steal or kill. Moral sensibility comes from God!
What’s scary is that unbelief of God—or His Son Jesus—does not cancel people’s accountability to Him. That means that everyone gives account of himself to Jesus (Romans 14:12).
