GOD LOOKS FOR PURE HEARTS, NO. 10 - IN CHRIST ALONE
Psalm 24:6 says: "This is the generation of them that seek Him." Who will lay hold of the truth of what it really means to be seated with Christ in heavenly places, in the highest mountain of all?
I quoted Psalm 24:3 in a previous post on this subject: "Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?" We read the answer in verses 4, 5: "He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation."
Psalm 24 mainly applies to the Messiah. None of us can claim that we are innocent enough to climb to the summit of the heavenly Mt. Zion. Moses was able to fulfill the call of God to climb up the earthy Mt. Sinai and see God. However, we can only climb to the top of the heavenly mountain and participate in the power, authority, and all the multiplied blessings by our being in Christ. It is in Christ that we have His "wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" (1 Corinthians 1:30).
In order to reign in righteousness over all the circumstances we face in our lives we must stand by faith in this heavenly place we have been raised to in Christ.
It boggles the mind to try and even comprehend the enormity of God's grace that has placed us in this highly, exalted position at the Father's right hand. It is only the generation of them that seek him who will know the reality of what it means to be seated with Christ in heavenly places. The truth of this mountain top experience with Christ must be driven home to our hearts.
Be encouraged.
