Hebrews 12:2 (KJV): "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
God's eternal plan is to establish His kingdom both in heaven and on earth. Scriptures make us understand in Revelation 21:1 that even after this present earth passes away, a new heaven and earth will come, one in which Christ and all the saints will rule forever.
Scripture says in 1 John 3:2-3: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." This should make you joyful. You are going to be like Christ. Mortality shall put on immortality, and life shall swallow up death forever. Our flesh shall be celestial, not this terrestrial that perishes; this corruptible shall put on incorruptible (1 Corinthians 15:53). Glory to God!
So for this joy, for this kind of majestic life, for the glory that shall be revealed in us, and for the hope that we have of being like Jesus, we purify ourselves as He is pure. Hallelujah! We allow God's Word that is spoken to us to wash away every impurity in us, for we are cleansed by the Word that is spoken to us (John 15:3). We give free course to God's Word to reproof, correct, and instruct us in righteousness, thereby becoming perfect and prepared for good works at all times, as we await His glorious appearing (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Hallelujah!
Prayer: Dear Father, thank You for the joy that is set before me to reign with Jesus for eternity. And for this joy, I purify myself through the instrumentality of Your Word and Spirit that You have made available for me. I will be presented in Your glorious presence at Your coming, by Your Spirit, perfect and without blemish, to enter into Your joy. In Jesus' name, Amen.
