The Church Needs Pillars
“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God…” (Revelation 3:12a)
The church is being built up together as a temple for God to dwell in, and we, like living stones, are each part of its construction. Those who overcome stand as pillars within that temple. Pillars stand for strength and for beauty. They are both beautiful and functional.
Their lives preach a lesson we all need to hear: the brother battling cancer, the sister struggling with the trials of old age, the couple mourning their lost child, and the family enduring through a layoff and season of scarcity.
Live a life of perseverance, and you serve a purpose in the household of God as well as a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness. The world needs more overcomers. Christians who endure through trials and suffering stand as a testament to the sovereignty of God. They endure and trust in Him. The church needs pillars like that to hold the rest of us up.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
