THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY! Complete Unity And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9) In His covenant with Abram, God said, “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2; see also Genesis 15:18–21). One of the fulfillments of this promise was the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ. All nations of the world are blessed through the salvation that Christ purchased for both Jew and Gentile. God’s plan of salvation culminated in Jesus Christ. Salvation is available to all who call upon Him in faith, regardless of people groups. Jesus told His disciples, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Today’s verse shows us the effect of God’s great grace—poured out on every tribe, tongue, and nation. If you have any hatred toward someone because of skin shade or ethnicity, you must know that your hatred is not shared by the Savior. Jesus died for all people groups. What a glorious place heaven will be as we are gathered together with all believers, praising our glorious and victorious Savior in complete unity. ____________________________ Source: answersingenesis.org
