The Family Promise of God

Revelation Bible Background

12.16.2014 New Testament: Rev 7.15

To read the Bible in a year, read Revelation 7 on December 16, In the year of our Lord 2014

By Don Ruhl

What does God want with us? He is holy. We are unholy. What then, could He possibly want with us? In Revelation 7, John saw in heaven more people redeemed from the Earth than he could number. He was told,

“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them” (Revelation 7.15). 

Throughout Scripture you can find parts of the Family Promise of God, and sometimes you find all the parts in one passage, but I believe this shows what God wants with us.

He wants us to be with Him, and He wants to be with us. He wants us as His family. Is that not beautiful?
