Revelation 3:
The shocking reality is that God loves to put His nature on display through the joy of His people.
To be loved by God is to be given the gift of seeing Him for Who He truly is & finding Him to be the fully satisfying, all encompassing, everlasting, awe inspiring, beautiful, glorious, magnificent Being that He is.
There are some, as hard as this may be to believe, who see Him & don’t find Him beautiful, they don’t find Him glorious & the bible calls these people blind.
We were all blind before the miracle of Jesus
It pleases your heavenly Father when you see Him & enjoy Him
To be the object of God’s affection is to be given the grace to see Him & love Him.
Before today we have seen what God’s love to for us but today in we will explore what God’s love does to us
There is a difficulty in what God’s love does for us
We must humble ourselves & admit that we are unable to accomplish anything of eternal significants, nothing of everlasting value apart from His grace at work in our lives
Revelation 3:12-13
SECURITY FOR SHAKY PEOPLE
,
THE LOVE OF GOD LAYS CLAIM TO HIS PEOPLE BY HIS GRACE & FOR HIS GLORY
This is where we are going
This is the point of this one verse:
That God has so loved us that He has made for us a permanent place in His eternal kingdom so that we might, through His empowering, be a demonstration for all of eternity of His glory.
WHAT IS A CONQUEROR?
WHO ARE THOSE WHO CONQUER?
Conquerors are those who have been conquered
Conquerors are those who have been conquered
They are not those who have, by their own strength or power or will, triumphed over adversaries or foes but rather those who by the strength & power & will of God have been born of The Spirit through the blood of Jesus.
Jesus victory is our victory when we, by grace through faith, abide in Him
They are not those who have, by their own strength or power or will, triumphed over adversaries or foes but rather those who by the strength & power & will of God have been born of The Spirit in the blood of Jesus.
Our default condition is to try & do things on our own.
Weather we are motivated by pride, false humility or insecurity we do not like to ask for or accept help
Our first parents refused the free gift of fellowship with God for the ability to earn for themselves the ability to be like God
The promises made to the overcomers are not made to the strong for this church was called weak & of little power.
If the requirement was self empowered conquering than this promise would be cruel to such a church
The promise is meant to motivate us to abide in Christ’s victory not to attempt to overcome by our own strength
LET’S TALK ABOUT PILLARS
When we think of pillars we probably think of load baring structures meant to prop up the roof of a building but that is not what is referenced here.
Pillars here are not referencing weight baring structures within the temple, as if it needs our ability to hold it up (for we have already seen that we are weak & in need of His strength even to overcome).

A SECURE PLACE FOR A SHAKY PEOPLE
“Never shall they go out of it”
The city of Philadelphia was regularly revenged by earthquakes.
To be told they would be made a fixed figure in a temple that resides in a kingdom that cannot be shaken was to give them great assurance.

The New Covenant required a new system to evaluation.
We must remember that for the believers at this time they were struggling with a total paradigm shift.
For Israel all would go well when they were surrendered to God's purpose & they would suffer when they were outside His will/grace.
Jesus here through these letters is teaching these believers that their assurance must not be in our outward circumstances for our true home is in an unseen realm, in a kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Jesus, through these letters, is teaching believers that their assurance/confidence must not be in outward circumstances for our true home is in an unseen realm, in a kingdom that cannot be shaken; our citizenship is in a city whose builder & maker is God.
It is illegal for us to judge our standing with God via popularity or prosperity when we have been given the grace to receive unrestricted proximity.
Is there grace for popularity & prosperity?
Yes.
But they are inferior to the grace for proximity.
We want is friends & finances & He has given us His face
We must recognize that the current systems & structures of this world cannot define our true identity, security or placement in His eternal kingdom.
This is the Kingdom that through the gospel, the proclamation of Christ eternal victor won on our behalf, is invading the world in which we current reside.
Our security is based on God’s ability
We are placed as a monument to God's goodness & Christ's faithfulness this is why we will never be removed
Your security isn’t about you!
Your security isn’t for you! (deepest level)
Your security is about The One Who secured it!
Because they were built as monuments to a king obelisks were often removed when a new king or ruler came to power.
It was normal for a newly crowned king, to go & remove all the monuments & memorials of the previous ruler so that the former glory would be forgotten & the new rulers could be established.
This will never happen to us because our King lives forever & His glory is without end!
JESUS CLAIMS YOU FOR HIS GLORY

This engraving is a clear declaration of Who get's the glory for our existence in God's Kingdom.

God - to Whom we belong
The eternal God & Father
The mighty maker of heaven & maker of earth
New Jerusalem - the place of our true citizenship
A city who’s Builder & Maker is God!
A city not formed from human will nor filled with human sin but a city made by God for the glory of His name & the good of His people.
This is the place of our true citizenship & this will be our home for all eternity!
