In the Glory, I will stand. In the Glory, I will rise.
The prophet Ruth Ward Heflin wrote of the Glory, after pioneering many revivals, that the Glory was the New. What, before, could take years, could happen very quickly in the glory. Where a church she knew could have been 5 years away from revival, it could happen within a very short time in the Glory.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 16:16 KJV
Lest we forget our place, let us remember Jesus words. He did not come to condemn, because He didn’t have to. We already were, all of us (John 3:17, Romans 3:23).

Without these things, we are in error, and we cannot grow into maturity in the things of faith.
None of us can boast about our place in God, for no one is righteous on their own merit. Paul wrote, “Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded.” Romans 3:27.

We tell others that they are sinners and condemned to hell, not because we are righteous in our own merit, but because of the very hope we preach.

They all wait for You To give them their food in due season.
Psalm 104:27
If God clothes the flowers of the field so well, and we still worry, are we not of little faith (Matthew 6:30)?
