Total for week: 109
This is the last chapter in this book and it ended with a lot of knowledge. This chapter is called "Kingdom: God Reigns" and it was about just that, the kingdom. The verse that started this chapter was from Matthew 6:10 which says "Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This verse is probably on of the most popular verses in the Christian world. Part of this verse is the Lord's prayer which Chrstians and Catholics know and pray in many situations.
This chapter talked all about God's kingdom and death. Everyone knows that they will die someday, but many people think that they don't have to start thinking about that until they are close to death. Death could come at any time, no one is guarenteed a full lifetime.
When we die we will go to judgement, every person faces judgement from God when they die. There are two different judgements; one is of a person who doesn't have Jesus in their life, where they will be reminded of every sin that they did and then they have to try to justify themselves by their "good works", and this person will not make it into God's kindgom. The other judgement will be in front of God telling him that you are a sinner and Jesus' righteousness covers your life, and this person will go to heaven and prais God.
Scripture teaches us that heaven is perfect and in heaven there is no darkness and no sin. When we go to heaven our sinful nature is taken away from us; therefore, we are not able to sin there. We will praise God in heaven for all of eternity, which is hard for us as humans to picture eternity.
