OUR DUTIES             Wednesday August 5, 2015

Text: Rev 14:6 – 12     Memory verse: v 7

We have a twofold duty to "Fear God and give glory to Him (God).” This angel was carrying the everlasting Good News to preach to the people who belong to this world. The angel’s message called people to fear God and give glory to Him because the time has come when He will sit as judge. This call to fear and worship God is said in contrast with the worship of the beast. "The persecution of saints even unto death is often followed by a rapid and extensive spread of the gospel, and the greatest rage of opposers by their speedy and utter ruin" so said Family Bible Notes. Even in these final moments of judgment, God gave the people the opportunity to repent.

How much do you perform these duties? If you don’t fear God nor give Him His due glory, God will demand them from you at Judgment. We should know that God’s final judgment will certainly come. Have you received the Good News? Have you confessed your sins and trusted in Christ to save you? If so, you have nothing to fear from God’s judgment. He is your Saviour! 

Food for Thought: Are you performing these duties?

Prayer: Grant O Lord that I will fear you and return your glory always.
