No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it. Its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter—no one who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Revelation 21:22-27
As we approach the moment when the calendar changes from 2005 to 2006, by tradition, many of us think about what or where we can improve in the New Year. As believers in the only true God and His Son Jesus Christ, it is appropriate (may I say a product of our new nature), to strive to be better tomorrow than we were yesterday. I challenge you to make your personal improvement resolution and stick to it.
That being done, I ask, what resolution will you make for the Kingdom? Will you resolve to share the love of Jesus Christ with those who don’t know Him so that names will be added to ‘the Lamb’s Book of Life’? Will you set a goal and make it a priority to lead someone to Christ in 2006? Babbie Mason sings a song titled, “Each One, Reach One”. If every believer in Jesus Christ led just one person to the Lord in 2006, what a tremendous impact that would be in Kingdom building. Of course, the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) for the believer is to offer the gospel not to just one but to every one.
