The right of way to Holiness is ours. Gods strength makes our paths safe.
We are redeemed because of our Redeemer Jesus Christ. He has made our way straight and our path safe. It is He who has cleansed us and it is He who shall bring all things to completion on the day of vengeance of our God. Isa. 35:1-10 "The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose and the autumn crocus. It shall blossum abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given it, the excellency of [Mount] Caramel and [the plain] of Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty and splendor and excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble and tottering knees. Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with the recompense of God He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. And the burning sand and mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lay resting, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk on it. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
The end is actually the beginning of what has always been meant to be. Man fell in the beginning, but God has always meant for Him and man to live in unbroken fellowship forever. The end is when we have finally arrived to all that has been meant to be for the rest of eternity. Because of Gods Love for those He created in His image He gave His Son Christ Jesus that we may have the Way to Holiness. As Jesus said, Joh. 14:6 "Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me."
May God rest upon you all
