LOVE
THE LORD'S SPIRIT HAS COME TO ME, BECAUSE HE HAS CHOSEN ME TO TELL THE GOOD NEWS TO THE WORLD. THE LORD HAS SENT ME TO ANNOUNCE FREEDOM FOR THE SINNERS. TO GIVE SIGHT TO THE BLIND. LET ANYONE COME WHO SUFFERS. LET THEM SAY, " THIS IS THE YEAR THAT THE LORD HAS CHOSEN, " Luke 4:18-20
Because we are all human, we have all sinned. Romans 3:23. On our own none of us can ever escape God's judgement. We are all guilty. Not a one righteous. Romans 6:23. But Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, came to earth on our behalf and accepted the punishment that was intended for us. He paid the price for our sins and set us free, all who will believe on His Name. 2 Corinthians 5:21. He suffered, died and rose again from the dead and made us free to begin our lives all over again, reborn in Him. But we must leave our old lives behind to follow Him. 1 John 1:7. All we have to do is believe in Jesus and accept His free gift to us. Acts 16:31.
God has graciously given me something I wish to share with you. Hopefully this will help you to better understand Him and just who He is.
We are in very trying times and the world I believe is drawing to a close. I would like to bring you Salvation through Jesus Christ. It's the only hope people have. Jesus is someone you need to meet if you do not know Him already. He is God's Son. The world is dying but you can be alive in Christ as I am alive in Him, forever.
I'm going to talk to you about the Glory of God. What Glory is. It is simply this: Giving God love. That is glorifying Him. In Heaven love is all there is. I know that the world is sure in short supply of it these days. In Heaven there are two types of people giving glory, their love to God. His Angels and His Saints. God created the Angels before He had created Man. The Bible in Genesis states that Man is His last creation. Gen 1. It is on the 6th day that God made Man and I believe we are still in that 6th day because Man is still being born but there will come a day when the creation of Man will be past and God will enter His rest on the 7th day which I believe is yet to come. Read Gen 2. Some of us unfortunately will not be entering God's 7th day of rest. That 7th day will last forever without end. Some will perish and suffer the torments of hell all through the 7th day but us who are faithful to Christ will enter it. God even states not all will enter into His day of rest. He stated it during the days of Moses and him trying to rule over those people God had rescued from Egypt. They were a stiff necked people and would not obey God. They made false idols and worshipped them while Moses was still up on the mountain with God. This was where the 10 commandments were made. Exodus 20:1-17. God went out of His way to help these stupid people because He needed to establish His covenant with them but not all became a part of it. Many were cut off from it because of their disobedience. Exodus 32:33. Matthew 25: 31-46 also states the eternal place awaiting the wicked. It is not the Lord's peaceful day of rest. Giving God the glory is done free-willingly in heaven. No one will say, He made me do it. That is what having a free will is all about. One such Angel in Heaven a long time ago decided he didn't want to give God his love anymore. His name was Lucifer. He is the originator of sin. Sin is the result of purposefully disobeying God's commands. Lucifer was the first to do this. Lucifer got it into his head that he wanted to follow after his own desires instead of God's. It's put to me like this. One upon a time God said let there be ice cream. It will have 3 wonderful flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Well Lucifer thought about why not add a flavor. Say the flavor of poop. Now that's just plain warped! But he indulged in it. Sin. It is every yucky thing that defies God's Will. I hope this helps you to grow in understanding of what sin is. I know your thinking, man, it's either God's way or the highway but who wants poop flavored ice cream? God's Will is good. Those who do not want good will perish. It's that simple. It is fair. He created us. He has all the say in how He wants His universe to run, or how His people are to be. He lets us be born to decide. If you want to ask Jesus into your heart do only this:
1. Realize you are a sinner.
2. You need Jesus to save you from the death your sins will bring.
3. Ask Him to take your sins and come into your life. There. Wasn't so bad was it! Now, Jesus said to, " go and feed My sheep. " That is what I am doing. Do you wish to do the same? You can email this to a friend or show them this site. Do not keep this awesome news to yourself. Give it even to someone you don't like. The 3 main ingredients that enable good health are:
1. God the Father
2. His Son Jesus Christ, and...
3. The Holy Spirit. You need all 3 for success. These 3 Persons work together as a Whole in creation. The word GOD simply means, Creator. The Father cannot create without the Son who is also called the Word of God, or without the Spirit of God. I will now tell you about each Person in the Trinity. Trinity means 3. 3 Persons equal 1 God.
GOD THE FATHER: He's like the main One in charge of everything. Or as I like to call Him. The top of the production line.
THE WORD OF GOD: He is also known as Jesus Christ because He was born on earth as a human just like us. He was given a human body by divine means. He is the One who takes the orders from the Father of what to create. He then brings it into being. John1:1-4. Jesus created us and so it was Him also who gave to us a new life through Him when we were born again. Yes our old bodies will die but not our spirits, or soul as it is called. The soul is you. The main you. Your consciousness. It will live on after your body dies. But Heaven or Hell is the only places after death. Jesus brings what the Father wishes into form. For nothing could come into form without Him. John 1:3.
THE HOLY GHOST: Or Holy Spirit as He's also called. He gives that which is to have motion. The Spirit of God is the Breath of life. Genesis 2:7. Also to understand that it is by the Spirit to give life to that which is lifeless read Romans 8:10-11. Jesus formed all of us in His own image. The image He came into this world Himself as. It was the human race and no other. Genesis 1:26. Our image is also in the Father and Holy Spirit because Jesus is One with Them and He can make us be as well. To be born again is to be in the image of the Father and the Spirit but you have to be born again to receive an eternity with God in Heaven. By no other way is it accomplished. That spark from the Holy Ghost. Could that possibly mean our consciousness? That we are able to think as He and be aware we exist. God possesses these things. Things He gave to us. And a free will. God free willingly made us. We too possess this wonderful thing. We are not His robots. And no robots worship Him. It's all done by free will. Whose will do you possess?
Imagine God a production line with God the Father as the Big Boss. The Head Honcho who sits up in His office overlooking all the work He has ordered get done. Let's say He's wanting 1000 toy trains made. he knows in His mind exactly what they are to look like. He gives His Son Jesus the blueprints now. Jesus has all the materials it will take to make these trains. Jesus then makes the trains exactly as the Father instructs. Even what color they are to be. Jesus has the paint. The Spirit then is the One who possesses the batteries in which the trains will then be able to have motion. So the Spirit installs the batteries. And off they go! Toot toot! This is how God is perceived by me. We possess 3 elements that makes us who we are. 1. We have our earthly human body. 2. Our spiritual body and 3. Our very soul which I believe is the core of us. Our spiritual body is like what the Angels have. but our soul is separate. I believe it is the battery. That runs everything. That is how I perceive.
So, the only way for us to be able to live with God throughout eternity is to glorify Him, through His Son Jesus. We accomplish this by loving and accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God. Jesus tells us that He is the Light of the world, and that none can go to the Father but by Him. John14:6. That means we cannot ever go to God except by His Son. We need to give God all our devotion and love because He loved us so much He gave us Jesus to save us. John 3:16. Don't be like Lucifer who turned God away. Not only that but 1/4 of the Angelic population he convinced to follow him instead and they too fell away from God to be eternally kept apart from Him. This too will occur to any humans that turn Jesus Christ away. I hope you will let Him into your heart so that you can be counted as His Saints. God bless and keep you!
