Willing Or Unwilling!
For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord,
every knee shall bow to Me, and every
tongue shall confess to God.”
Romans 14: 11
Young people grow up learning to trust the word of
certain adults, depending on how consistent those
adults have been in following through on their
words in the past.
In Isaiah 55:10-11, the prophet quotes God’s
promise that His Word will never fail to
accomplish
its intent. That is, God and His words are entirely
trustworthy.
With that as background, every human being will
someday bow before God and acknowledge Him.
Because God said it, it will surely happen.
God exalted Christ over all, and one day all will
acknowledge His Lordship; all will bow the knee
before Him, willingly or unwillingly.
Who would doubt God’s words?
Far better to bow before Christ today
willingly than to bow unwillingly in the
future.
"When we see even a small glimpse
of God’s holiness, we will bow in
worship."
R. C. Sproul
