House Of God – Welcome

House Of God – Welcome!
We were outside, far from God. We were sinners, enemies. We had a great debt and deserved to stay outside in our misery, in outer darkness, in eternal night.
We entered through the open door. The Lord Jesus was that Door.
At the altar we saw the love of God for us, which caused His only Son to be slain on the cross. There we found reconciliation and peace with God.
So we came to the laver and after that we entered into the house of gold.
It surpassed all our expectations. We saw the riches of the Lord Jesus in the candlestick, the table and the golden altar.
Through the veil we came into the heavenly light that surrounded the throne of God. There is our home. God wants to have lost sinners there. Is this a dream? No, it is reality! Now we see it by faith, but soon we will see it by sight.
What a love of God! What grace is His grace! How wonderful is the person who has accomplished all this: the Son of God!
Who is like Him?
By J. Rouw, from “House Of Gold,” Believers Bookshelf Canada.
“Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
and hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father;
to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen”
—Revelation 1:5-6 KJV
