You are leaving out that the Devil and his angels Know God and his Righteousness.

They KNOW it and rebelled.

Be blessed as you fulfill the need as you see the need to be...

As righteousness is pursed and God is discovered....

And......, since God is Infinite, ...we'll be learning "about" Him for all Eternity, ...which means "discovering" new things about Him, for all Eternity, so, ...we who have Faith in Jesus Christ and have "received" the righteousness of God Rom3:22, ...will be becoming "more" Righteous throughout Eternity...

How big is our God?

Mind blowing, ...isn't it...

Lord bless

Yes, I do agree and it is mind blowing... But such a future awaits His beloved...

The “more” righteous I see as a deeper degree of righteousness which we will be continually   brought into...  

For I see righteousness as the counting of numbers. For regardless of how high one counts, there is still an eternity of numbers that can still be counted...I see the expression of righteousness the same way, regardless of how much has been expressed, there is still an  infinite amount or degree that can still be discovered and expressed..... Which in turn means there will forever be a deeper degree of God we will be discovering...

It is mind blowing to see we have such a good and great and awesome God as this...... 

I believe it is even to the deeper degrees of life that can be experienced and expressed.... Meaning that to the degree one has Christ formed in them in the time of this life to that degree will they be able to experience life for all eternity....For God (Christ) is the expression of life and him who as more of Christ has a deeper degree of life .... (I believe I see such as being true)...

So to Him be our all, be blessed in growing into Him the more...

And to compress that into just one word, "Faith,"

...the lack of, ... which was the "only" thing Jesus ever chided His disciples for.

 

I believe Faith wil be the "lingua franca" of Eternity, ...the more we have the more we will be able to experience of/with our God.

In my bizarre way of thinking, ...it took Jesus the best part of the day to walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus, ...then He returned to the upper room in a "split" second, ...was the locomotion of His human body "Faith," ...did He "think" where He wanted to go and He was there?

If so, our glorified body will be like His...

Even more mind blowing...

I believe Eternity will be a constant "mind blowing" experience with our God!

Lord bless

Interesting understanding of faith... Worth chewing on before  God...For God is leading and teaching one in this way, one in another, all leading to Himself...

Yes, our God is that good and that mind blowing, such is He Himself...

Be blessed as we discover more of Him, Not me

John 1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

John 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

Rom. 11:36   For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

²⁸ Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

2Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

Eph. 1:10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. ¹¹ In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Eph. 3:9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

Eph. 4:10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

Eph. 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

Col. 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. ¹⁸ And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Rom. 6:9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Rev. 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

Rev. 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Rev. 22:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

I think that these scriptures among other paint a picture for us of a universal reconciliation that we have been called to take part in and that will continue in a very real way throughout eternity.

Before the rebellion, things were a certain Way. Jesus Christ the Son of God and His Church, His bride, His companions are the agency that the Father has determined to accomplish this through all of the ages to come.

I believe that there will be naturally born humans in the 'fresh universe' being born and never dying and that part of our job will be to bring them up into the fullness of God. We are going to be very busy for all eternity as the new universe is filled with His Fulness.

THe Father's Eternal Purpose, I believe, was/is to share His Being---to have a family---a very very large family that will move 'into' His Largeness.

The Son---made the Way for this.

"You will see the Heavens opened".

Those words jumped out at me. Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you. Do you believe even those cast into the lake of fire, even including satan and the fallen angels, will ultimately be reconciled to God? 

Thanks in advance.

That isn't what I was saying, Gideon---but here it goes---I would not be surprised at something like that. It has occurred to me.

One thing is for sure and that is that our current point of view is very very limited.

However things play out, "all things will be summed up in Him". I can imagine a few different scenarios.

Hi my. brother. I asked because long ago, the pastor I had began to preach universal reconciliation, where even satan would be won over. It caused quite a stir and ended with him having to resign. Truthfully, in my heart, I would rejoice if God's grace was destined to even bring satan himself back in the fold, but it seems God has given us understanding only up to a certain point and we are to react based solely upon that understanding. 

Thanks for your reply. Be blessed, my friend

Gideon
