Have you ever wondered if…when Christ returns and we’re all
together with him…mankind can once again disobey and be cast from heaven…starting
this whole fallen world all over again?
I’ve had that thought cross my mind, because my son actually
asked me that question when he was 11 years old.
I never really had an answer, until I just read Hebrews 1.
After Jesus came and fulfilled God’s plan for him on this
earth, he was exalted to the right hand of God, and this entire chapter
compares and contrasts Jesus to the angels. And the last verse mentions us –
those who will inherit salvation.
Jesus set into order a new way, a way where mankind could
inhabit the presence of God and be transformed into his image – sons and
daughters – carrying his DNA.
Therefore, our relationship with Christ sets us apart from the angels, sets us secure in relationship with Him, and sets us in a position to reign with him...forever...and ever...
No chance of a "fall" ever again...
As Revelation 21 says of the new earth "...nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life."
Pretty cool.
