We have come to

• the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
• countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering.
• the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven.
• God himself, who is the judge over all things.
• the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect.
• Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people,
• the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness

“We are constantly and perpetually (Greek) receiving a Kingdom that is incapable of being shaken.” – Griffith Thomas

Even though it feels like we have been, and are being shaken to the core, we are part of the unshakeable. We should live fully and joyfully in what we have already received.

How we have already received the kingdom: Enduringword.com

• We have received it in promise; a promise from a trustworthy man is just as sure as having the thing itself.
• We have it in principle, and we see the principles of God’s kingdom at work in the world.
• We have received it in power, and see the life-changing and miraculous power of God at work in the world today.
• We have received some of the provision and protection of the kingdom, because our King provides for and protects us.
• We have received it in community, for our congregational gatherings are kingdom communities.

This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.
Hebrews 12:27

Did I miss something, or are the people in the “Hall of Faith” only from the Old Testament? I wonder why.

Praise Him who has made me part of the unshakable.
