Description

Imagine what your Christian development would be like if • you grasped the true character of God. • you were captivated by appreciation of and love for God’s Word. • you were not frightened away by the “haunted house” of Revelation. • you appreciated how the early church’s experience influenced the message of Revelation. • you understood how various viewpoints on Revelation developed over time. • you enjoyed a perspective which prevents tunnel vision. • you understood viewpoints about which you were previously unaware. • you esteemed fellow believers who have different understandings of Revelation. • you appreciated how the meaning of Jesus’ sacrifice is pictured in Revelation. • you practiced the message of Revelation in everyday life. • you were strengthened by an unshakable faith in God. • your faith was heartfelt and growing rather than formal or ritualistic. • you were strong enough to stand firm in the face of any and all spiritual opposition. • you were known for your moral and spiritual purity. • you were able to resist the seductions of our culture. • you demonstrated the sacrificial style of Jesus rather than the self-serving style of society. • you enjoyed the blessings of those who “keep the words” of Revelation’s message. • your anticipation of Jesus’ return rose above a distracting concern with earthquakes, wars, and developing social events. • you appreciated your present and future spiritual realities. • you were eager rather than fearful about the future. • you enjoyed the depths of the relationship toward which God is moving us.
