Every Knee Will Bow. Yours, too?

Of course, we ALL will bow before Jesus. That is a promise. We are told in Isaiah 45:23 that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess allegiance to Jesus. This is repeated in Romans 14.

Consult together, argue your case. Get together and decide what to say. Who made these things known so long ago? What idol ever told you they would happen? Was it not I, the LORD? For there is no other God but me, a righteous God and Savior. There is none but me. Let all the world look to me for salvation! For I am God; there is no other. I have sworn by my own name; I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on my word: Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess allegiance to me." The people will declare, "The LORD is the source of all my righteousness and strength." And all who were angry with him will come to him and be ashamed. In the LORD all the generations of Israel will be justified, and in him they will boast. Isaiah 45:21-25

Jesus said..."This body broken for you."
Will you accept what Jesus did for you?

Jesus told His disciples, particularly Thomas and us, that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. That is eternal life—forever. Those who believe in Him as their Savior will have the opportunity and responsibility to live forever with Him. What a great promise.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Do you believe? If you are a believer, there is an opportunity to encourage other Christians, not to put them down. If you don’t yet know Jesus, then search the scriptures for Him…and you will find Him. He is waiting for you to believe in Him as your Savior. Savior from what? Sin. For everyone has sinned and not met God’s expectations. Jesus died on a cross just for our sins—to reunite us with God the Father. We cannot do this on our own. Only a pure and spotless (lamb) person could be the sacrifice for mankind’s sin. That was Jesus. You can bow your knee and accept Jesus as your Savior. The choice is yours. Yes, or No?

 

For we don't live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live, it's to honor the Lord. And if we die, it's to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—to be Lord both of the living and of the dead. So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For the Scriptures say, "'As surely as I live,' says the LORD, 'every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.'" Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. So let's stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall. Romans 14:7-13

 

Prayer – Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God—may all the world know that, for one day we will all bow to You…Jews and Gentiles alike. I bow before You today…recognizing that You are God, Creator of everything, Judge, Savior, and Friend. Thank you for being who You are—especially our Lord and Savior. Without You, we are lost forever. With You, we are redeemed, forever. Help us not to condemn others—for You have no favorites and have given Your very life for all mankind. Thank you.

 

Meditate. Consider God’s purpose.

I have sworn by my own name; I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on my word: Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess allegiance to me. Isaiah 45:22-23
