HOW I DESCRIBE HEAVEN

Before we get started with Another Look At The Armour, we must understand a concept.

Many people believe through the New Testament scriptures that the Law is dead, null, or void. And, we are to live under the faith of Christ. If that were true, we would live in a world of complete chaos.

Jesus said:

"[T]hink not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:17-18

We must live as Jesus says, "[Y]ou shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 19:19

Many people today don't have very much respect for themselves. So, how can they possibly treat others the way they want to be treated if they are not use to being treated any differently?

Around 1491 B.C., about 4,000 years ago, there were only 613 laws. Today, From what was once the 10 commandments comes billions upon billions of root laws. There are laws guiding architecture, economics, business, finance, government, meterology, military science and weapons, music, philosophy, sports, literature....

However, we are human and we make mistakes. We must strive to do the best that we can. When we constuct a window, it must pass certain state or federal laws before it is marketable. It is not a perfect window. When you place the window in the frame of a house, you can still feel or see minor imperfections. But, by grace it serves its purpose.

When you buy a vehicle. There are manufacturing laws that the vehicle must pass before it can be approved for the market. It is not a perfect vehicle. But, by grace it serves its purpose.

When you buy a television. There are certain electronic laws that the television must pass before Walmart can market it. It is not a perfect television or why else would they have warranties, extended...By grace it serves its purpose.

When you spend lots of money buying the perfect tree for your yard, it will have imperfections, maybe bugs, or some leaves and branches may not grow properly. That way you might have to talk to an Arborist. But, by grace the tree may serve its purpose.

Only Jesus was perfect. John 1:1-14, 1 John 1:1-6. When you get to heaven, everything will be perfect; windows, vehicles, televisions, trees....

We must strive to be the best that we can. We must be Jesus-like. When you make a window, you must make that window as though you are making it for yourself. When you make that vehicle, you must make that vehicle as if you are making it for yourself. When you make that television set...or plant those trees, or gather seed to sell on the market...You must strive to do all things like you are doing them for yourselves.
