Just men made perfect

to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, - Hebrews 12v23



What is this ‘general assembly and church of the firstborn registered in heaven?’ It is part of the list of things and people to which we have come at salvation. It is made up of just men made perfect.’

There is not a whole lot to say about this, but is a beautiful reminder of a coming event. As His children we have already been declared just by the blood of Christ, but one day our spirits will be made perfectly like Christ. Those ‘just men’ who have gone before us have been perfected and we will have the joy of seeing them again one day.

I am grateful that we have been made just by the blood of Christ. But I really am so tired of those wretched imperfections that affect me every day. One day I will join with those precious saints who have gone before in Christ-like perfection.

As sweet as fellowship is here today I cannot even imagine how precious it will be when we have all been made perfect. Imagine no more petty jealousies, no selfish disagreements, and no angry responses.

I’ve said it before – what a day that will be!
