And the God before Whom we live is so great and so glorious that He is above all the time and the dictates, tyranny, and ravages of time. Our days are three score and ten, or if God gives strength, four score years. Far from being an abstract truth, the eternity of God is filled with rich implication for the believer. Scripture uses the word dwell to denote the living together of God with His people, to denote a life of friendship with God and security in God. In every generation, the saints have found their abode not in temple or churches, but in the great God set forth in temple and churches.
Time causes kings to die, places to crumble, nations to disappear.
Whom time cannot touch, Who never changes in Himself or in regard to His dear people. The God Who is eternal in Himself, is the eternal God of the covenant of grace. The God Who stands above time as regards Himself, controls and uses time to bring about all the good pleasure of His will. The God Who does not consider a thousand years as different from a single day will bring His church unto Himself that she may enjoy her God 's world without end in the new creation. There are several practical implications that ought to be mentioned in closing.
