What God Does is Forever

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. - Ecclesiastes 3:14

    The world with its temporary joys, trials, pleasures, and sorrows shall all pass away; but God will make a new heaven and a new earth which shall be forever.

    The covenant of works has failed and is perished. Man is hopelessly dead in sin, failure, and condemnation. But our God has made an everlasting covenant of grace in Christ, ordered in all things and sure, by which H e w ill bring many sons to eternal glory, which shall be forever.

    This body of flesh will grow older, weaker, and die; but God has redeemed us body and soul; and in Christ our vile bodies shall be changed into his likeness, and we shall live forever.

    This family of believers shall all be called away from the earth one by one; but God will one day gather us all together in Christ, and we will never again say goodbye! His kingdom is forever.

    Even our faith, hope, and love are so imperfect and affected by all that is in us and around us; but God will give faith fulfillment, turn hope into reality, and make love perfect! "Nothing can be put to it," for it is all complete and finished in Christ. "Nothing can be taken away from it;" for God is in it, and it is all in him who is Almighty, who said, "I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it" (Isa. 46:11). "And God doeth it that men should fear, worship, and trust him."

    Why should we not fear, worship, and trust him? To whom shall we go? He has the words of eternal life!
