Our Record Is In Heaven.
By Robert A. Searles
“O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from them that persecute
me, and deliver me: Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending
it in pieces, while there is none to deliver." Psalm 7; 1,2
.
Who is he that would persecute me, and tear my soul like a lion,
rending it in pieces? He that the scripture says goeth about as a lion
seeking whom he may devour: Satan and his evil demons.
"Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end: but establish the
just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins." Psalm 7: 9
When our enemy and accuser, Satan goes before God to accuse us and
persecute us as he did with Job of old, can we confidently say that God
trieth our hearts, and finds us right and justified with him? Can we
have the assurance that our record in heaven is clean, and that our
defense is of God? This can only be so when we have believed in our
heart and confessed with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the virgin born
son of the living God, that he voluntarily went to the cross and was
crucified, died, was buried and rose again the third day to pay the
penalty for our sin.
Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess your sins, ask him for forgiveness,
and God's Word tells us that when we believe and trust Christ we are
justified before God and we have a clean record in heaven, and "no
weapon formed against us will prosper"
"My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. God judgeth
the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn
not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He
hath also prepared for him the instruments of death, he ordaineth his
arrows against the persecutors." Psalm 7:10-13
.
