“Rooted and Grounded in God’s Love”

 “Rooted and Grounded In God’s Love”

Then Christ will make His Home in your hearts as you trust in Him.  Your roots will grow down into God’s Love and keep you strong.   Ephesians 3:17

As a TRUE BELIEVER, have you ever thought of your Spiritual Life as a plant or tree?  When a person comes to TRULY KNOW Jesus Christ as their SAVIOR and LORD, they are in-dwelt by JESUS, and thus begins the SPIRITUAL GROWTH PROCESS.  This is carried out through the WORK of God’s Holy Spirit, who comes and LIVES in the person’s heart.  He will be their GUIDE, their COUNSELOR, COMFORTER, and so much more. 

He will make available to them His UNLIMITED RESOURCES, and will EMPOWER them with INNER STRENGTH.   Christ will make His HOME in their HEARTS, as long as they have been CLEANSED from their SINS, with His PRECIOUS BLOOD.  This speaks of the CONTINUING TRUST of the TRUE BELIEVER, a TRUST that will enable their ROOTS to be GROUNDED, DEEP in GOD’S LOVE, like a STRONG and MIGHTY TREE, planted by the RIVER of LIFE. One that is NOURISHED and FLOURISHES in this life, and the life to come.  Is your RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ, like that STRONG and MIGHTY TREE that is ROOTED and GROUNDED in the LOVE of GOD?

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then your ROOT system is next to nothing.  And you will be blown around  and eventually be UPROOTED by every wind of ADVERSITY, until you reach your FINAL DESTINY; an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  The Almighty God has a PLAN to take your ROOTS DEEP and to be GROUNDED in His LOVE, and that is done by, ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED, and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE for the SALVATION of ALL mankind.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE, and TURN TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and be ROOTED and GROUNDED in the LOVE of GOD.  And spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t BE LEFT BEHIND!!!
