OUR CORONATION DAY
Fear is not compatible with all the wonderful relationships the Lord has proclaimed in His love for us. Throughout the Scriptures God describes all the facets of His relationship to us:
Do you think God is going to suddenly wipe out all these relationships with His people on the Day of Judgment? Never! How can a father reject his offspring in that child’s hour of accountability? Even as the Book of Life is being opened, He will still be your father, your advocate, your intercessor. Nothing can take away that relationship from you.
Fear will not be present on the day of your restitution and coronation.
“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. . . . As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:10, 12).
Our minds cannot begin to fathom how far the east is from the west. And that is God’s point in this verse: He has removed our sins beyond our capability to ever call them back.
Why am I calling God’s Day of Judgment our coronation day? It is because Isaiah says of that day:
“As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee” (Isaiah 62:5).
As you stand before your Lord then, you will recognize His eyes of love for you.
- He is our father, our brother, our friend
- our bridegroom, our head, our husband
- our advocate, our kinsman-redeemer
- our provider, our refuge, our shepherd
