Fear God, Trust God, Love God

Our church is studying prophecy and the end times. And there are a lot of differences and variations between and even within the orthodox positions. And each viewpoint has a solid grounding in scripture. Yet each one seems to bring up more questions than answers. 

However, this kind of study isn’t an exercise in futility, but humility. Because all of this uncertainty teaches us, and grounds us, and strengthens us in the main thing we need to be certain of. God himself.

You see, even if God tells us the future, and writes it down for us, we still can’t fully discern all the details of it. We just know the basics of it. And we know we can trust him in it and with it. This is the way that it is, not only with prophecy, and eschatology, but our own personal lives and the lives of our loved ones and church family and everything else. Fear God, trust God, love God; that’s the answer to all our questions. Amen.
