Hebrews 12:28-29
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. [NKJV]
Grace and the Kingdom of God go hand in hand. They are inseparable. As they are linked, so is the acceptable service to the Lord God Almighty. By grace, we can possess and demonstrate the reverence and godly fear that is the Lord's expectation and right.
Brothers and sisters, we do not have the right to worship God any way we please. We must honor Him according to His law and commandments. When we ignore this crucial fact, we arrogantly declare that we will do as we please, and God had simply better accept it. Is that any way to approach a consuming fire?
But when we submit to the Lord's command to worship Him in spirit and in truth, in accordance with all of Scripture, and with a humble and contrite heart... Well, He promises to accept our worship and our praise, to incline His ear to our prayers, and to bless His people beyond imagination.
Be encouraged, Jose
