The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 24:5-6,
"They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob."
In Psalm 24 David tells us that those who seek "God their Savior" will be vindicated. Vindicate means to be free from allegation or blame. It means to be exonerated.
Paul tells us in Romans 3:23 that all of us have sinned - everybody. You have sinned, I have sinned, the pastor and the pope have all sinned. All the apostles, all the prophets, all the heroes of the faith sinned. Paul also tells us that the wages of sin is death in Romans 6:23. John provides us a frightful scene in Revelation 20:11-15, where all whose names are not written in the book of life are thrown into the lake of fire- God's eternal judgment for all sinners.
Since all have sinned, all are destined for that lake of fire for an eternity! This is where the vindication of all who seek God that David speaks of is so vitally important. John tells us "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God..." John 1:12. As Jesus said, "...whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." John 5:24.
We all have a choice while still in this life. Following this life our destiny is set as there is no further opportunity to seek God. Purgatory is pure fantasy found no where in the Scriptures. It is an invention of those who have promoted false religion. There are no second chances following this life.
We can seek God our Savior in this life, or we can fail to do so. This is our primary purpose in this life. Those who seek him spend eternity with God, experiencing eternal pleasures at his right hand, Psalm 16:11. Those who don't will be cast into that eternal lake of fire.
Make sure of your eternal destination today! Seek God and receive vindication for your sins from him!
