8. What do You Think About Christ's Ascension to Heaven?

---

Did you know that Christ rose to heaven to sit at the right hand of God? He is the closest Gods companion, no one is his equal. As he descended from heaven and took on a human body, in like manner he went back to heaven after defeating sin, perdition and the devil through his death.

He is the faithful and mighty mediator for all who approach God in his name. All who believe in his mediation, experience the filling of their heart by the Holy Spirit. They become renewed in their minds and are bestowed with divine life which is manifested in pure conduct. If you want to experience the living Christ and his redemptive work, open up your heart freely to the power of his Spirit. Then you will see him by faith and your life will enter upon a course in harmony with His plan and will.

All who refuse Christ, refuse God himself who offered Jesus as an atonement for the world. God fulfilled the prophecy which he revealed to the prophet David, addressing Christ who ascended to him: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet" (Psalm 110:1). All who refuse Gods love that was proclaimed in Christ condemn themselves. For everyone who refuses Gods grace, deserves and is required by his refusal, to remain under Gods wrath since he deliberately has refused Gods only way of salvation.

Until the resurrection of Christ, death was the greatest enemy of mankind. But Jesus defeated death and re-appeared alive. He will never die in eternity. Everyone who clings to him will partake of the power of His life that overcomes evil. Did you understand the blessing in Christ's resurrection, and have you accepted it?...Accept it now!
