of Christ. I can’t wait. I want that fire. I want everything that
doesn’t please Jesus to be burned up. That’s the consummation at
the end! That’s why all tears will be wiped away. You don’t have
to be afraid of the Judgment Seat of Christ.

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, God will look at you and say, “There
is nothing that displeases me.” I have arrived because I see Jesus
and I’m finally like Him. There’s no more sin and there’s no more
dishonoring God. It’s all ashes; it’s gone. I’m not afraid of that fire
– “Burn baby, burn!” I want that fire.

Let me review this. How do I know for sure that I will become like
Jesus? It’s because God has put His seed in our hearts and
everything produces after its kind. What is the process? I stand in
front of the word of God and I see Jesus and every view of Christ
transforms my heart. How will it end? Someday, at the Judgment
Seat of Christ, everything that displeases God will be burned up.

Our Heavenly Father, how glad we are for the truth that we are going
to be like Jesus. Sometimes we look at our lives and we doubt that
it will ever happen. But You’ve given us Your life and You have
put Your seed in us, the precious Holy Spirit, and have given us
Your word so that we can know the Lord. Help us to see the union
of grace and gazing. Help us to keep our eyes on Christ. Thank You
for the day when everything dishonoring will be burned up and for
forever we’ll be like Jesus. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
