Every saint will be a monument
to God's glory. By Charles Simeon. 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 verse
10. When he comes on that day, he
will receive glory from his holy people, and be marveled at among
all those who have believed. It is not in this world only,
that God is glorified by his redeemed people. At the day of
judgment, every saint will be a monument to God's glory. how
God's sovereign grace will appear to everyone among them, when
each sees himself as a brand plucked out of the fire? What
stupendous wisdom will then be manifested in the wondrous plan,
whereby God has saved such undeserving, ill-deserving, hell-deserving
sinners? What marvelous patience will
God be seen to have exercised towards them, under all their
manifold failings and backslidings? What unbounded mercy will be
seen in His pardoning their multiplied transgressions, and saving them
from eternal hell? Nor will His omnipotence be less
an object of admiration, when it is seen how wonderfully it
has been exerted in converting their souls, and in preserving
them unto His heavenly kingdom. Yes, as long as there shall exist
one glorified saint in heaven. So long shall the perfections
of the Godhead be most eminently displayed in the salvation of
sinful man. All glory to him who loves us
and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.
He has made us a kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory
and power to him forever and ever. Amen. Revelation chapter
