God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Why is God silent? Why does the God of all the universe not speak?... God has already spoken everything that can probably be spoken graciously. Jesus is the ultimate, final word of God in that area. Not a syllable can be added. The only words that remain to be spoken are the final words of judgment.
The Scriptures teach that the happiness or blessedness of believers in a future life will be greater or less in proportion to the service of Christ in this life. Those who love little, do little; and those who do little, enjoy less.
