The Triumphant Church
The triumphant church is glorious, and offers holiness for
all to enjoy. It’s a blessed and
glorious company of Christians that celebrate sacredness. These believers come to know and experience
what dwelling in the Creator’s presence really means. Many are saints in glory who know God’s
exceeding greatness and grace. To them
the fire of Pentecost still burns brightly.
Saint Basil (330–379
AD), bishop of Caesarea said, “A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his
deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who
sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.” In fellowship believers interact and touch
each other’s hearts giving wings to love.
Heavenly Inhabitants
In Christianity angels are blessed spirits and are a crucial
part of the Universal Church. Believers are
rejuvenated when they rest on the Sabbath from their labors. They seek spiritual companionship not only on
Sundays when worshiping, but throughout the week serving their fellowmen and
women. By so doing, they show to the
world a spirit as evangelists of the faith.
As heavenly inhabitants believers are blessed with the spirit of
harmony. Jim Sturgess (b. 1978), an
English actor and song-writer wrote, “Love is such a powerful subject matter
because it comes in so many different shapes and sizes. It’s about timing, fate, failure,
redemption.” Sturgess shared with us
love in all its dimensions that all are free to have through God’s goodness. This kind of love radically transforms people’s
lives.
Praising God
Christians always praise God for his benevolence and merciful
ways. He’s known for glorious works that
dominate our lives and the environment.
They praise God’s goodness to mankind, and with a contemplative spirit
give thanks for their blessings. Anointed
with generosity in the spirit words of
praise flow forth from them. These words
express how they feel about God. Their
spiritual experiences are lofty, and might well be coming from angels who
perpetually praise God.
Charles E. Wilson (1890–1961), the tenth president of General Motors said,
“For more than 150 years free men in our countries have had the opportunities
to educate themselves, choose their own religions, select their own
occupations, accumulate capital and invent better ways of doing things.” A better way is also to pray to God when seeking
guidance.
Pure Holiness
Visions of pure holiness are spectacular. To humans, these are lovely and give their
hearts an exalted feeling. This is when believers
reach for the Son of righteousness for what is infinitely pure, lovely, and
beautiful. Here, such people are blessed
with spiritual mercies, and food for Enlightenment. Once capturing such gifts they become
enlivened like the spirit of an apostle.
Suze Orman (b. 1951), an author, financial adviser, and motivational
speaker wrote, “True generosity is an offering; give freely and out of pure
love. No string attached. No expectations. Time and love are the most valuable
possessions you can share.” In the Church
triumphant it’s all about love. It’s for
believers to pursue ways of changing people’s lives. It’s the goal to set a trail in motion of
such goodness, kindness, and caring that impact lives for the better.
