The post The Ironic Savior appeared first on Peine Ridge Church.
Beware the Devil’s deceptive substitutes, especially when you’re hurting, stressed, anxious, or discontent. The enemy lies, promising that we can be saved from our woes through the power of God’s good gifts. Entertainment, food, alcohol, vacation, sleep, shopping, and the like may all be enjoyed as blessings from the Lord, but they make terrible saviors. They are false substitutes that leave us worse off when we run to them, trusting that they will set us free.
We must remember:
Distracting ourselves is not the same thing as being delivered.
Getting lost in another world is not the same thing as being at peace in this one.
Numbing the pain is not the same thing as being healed.
Escaping from reality is not the same thing as being rescued.
Changing our scenery is not the same thing as changing our life.
Filling our stomach is not the same thing as being truly filled.
Buying new stuff is not the same thing as having a new life.
We should seek to enjoy God in His good gifts, while never confusing the two. And we enjoy His blessings best when we receive them not as what will save us, secure us, or satisfy us, but as what are meant to show us more of Him. True freedom cannot come from false substitutes, so don’t entrust your soul’s struggles or sorrows to anything but the Lord of Heaven & Earth who died and rose again to set sinners free.

HEAVEN
by Archibald Alexander
Heaven is a reality, not seen by eyes of flesh, but made known by revelation, and received by faith.
Heaven is a rest from toil, trouble, temptation, and sin. Such a rest is very desirable, if it were only a sweet sleep; but heaven is more.
It is a state of delightful activity. Every faculty and every affection will find appropriate exercise; and probably latent powers, not needed here, will there be waked into activity—powers suited to the new condition in which the soul exists.
Heaven is full of light; all darkness and doubt are absent. Knowledge will there be clear, and will possess a transforming efficacy; still, knowledge in heaven will be progressive; the pleasure will partly consist in ever learning something unknown before.
Heaven is a region of perfect love; all the heart and mind and strength will be exerted in love. And if the power of loving should, in the progress of the immortal soul, be increased a thousand-fold, all this increased ability will be kept constantly in full stretch by the loveliness and glory of the objects of affection.
Love in heaven is pure, perfect, and reciprocal. And the more exalted and excellent the character of the person beloved, the sweeter the sense of his favor. Heavenly joy consists in loving with all the heart, and in being beloved.
As heaven is a society, the members are happy not only in loving their King, but in mutual love. There will exist no envy, nor jealousy, nor apathy. Every soul will be transparent to every other, and all will see that nothing but pure love exists in every heart.
Heaven is a place of peace—sweet peace and uninterrupted harmony; all disturbing elements will be left behind. …in the heaven where saints and angels dwell and worship, war can have no place. The atmosphere of heaven is exempt from all evil; it is purity itself; all sin and impurity are denied admission into that holy place.
Heaven is a place of song: high affections are expressed in celestial music. O how elevating, how delightful the melodies!
Christ is the center of attraction in heaven. From Him radiate the rays of Divine glory which enliven, attract, and beautify all the innumerable army of worshipers.
