Eventually the world will crumble. This earth that you and I live in and have been living on will be gone someday. There will be nothing left. How often are you putting your trust in things of this world? It seems like it's easier to do sometimes, but why put your faith in something that is eventually going to crumble?
With this post I hope to encourage you that as believers in Christ, we are part of something that is unshakable. It's hard to remember that sometimes so I hope that by reading this post you can remember it more easily often.
The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken-that is, created things-so that what cannot be shaken remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:27-29)
Only God's kingdom will last. Those who follow Christ are part of the unshakable kingdom, and they will withstand the shaking, sifting, and boring. When we feel unsure about the future, we can take our confidence from these verses. No matter what happens here, our future is built on a solid foundation that cannot be destroyed. Don't put your confidence in what will be destroyed; instead build your life on Christ and his unshakable kingdom.
