“What Kind Of Heavenly Is God?”

“What Kind Of Heavenly Father Is God?”

 

You are forgiving and good O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to You.   Psalm 86:5

 

This Psalm is a PRAYER of David, and we can see, in reading this Psalm that David has CONFIDENCE in the ALMIGHTY GOD.  In verse seven, David says:  “In the day of my trouble I will call to You, for You will answer me.”  In verse eight, David says:  “Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; no deeds can compare with Yours.”  In verse ten, David says:  “For You are GREAT and do marvelous deeds; You alone are God.    In verse thirteen, David says: For GREAT is Your LOVE toward me.”  In verse fifteen, David says:  “But You, O Lord, are a COMPASSIONATE and GRACIOUS God, slow to anger, abounding in LOVE and FAITHFULNESS.”   In verse sixteen, David says:  “Turn to me and have MERCY on me; grant Your STRENGTH to Your servant and SAVE the son of your maidservant.”  And in verse seventeen, David ends his prayer with:  “Give me a sign of Your GOODNESS, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for You, O LORD, have HELPED me and COMFORTED me.”

 

These are some of the MANY attributes of our HEAVENLY FATHER,  He is a LISTENING FATHER, who LISTENS when His Children call out to Him.  He is a ONE of a KIND FATHER, there are NO OTHERS like Him.  He is a GREAT FATHER who does MARVELOUS DEEDS, and He ALONE is GOD.  He is a LOVING FATHER, whose LOVE has NO LIMITS and is an UNFAILING, EVERLASTING  LOVE.  He is a COMPASSIONATE and GRACIOUS FATHER, who is SLOW to ANGER, and abounds in LOVE and FAITHFULNESS.  He is a MERCIFUL and STRONG FATHER, who has the POWER to SAVE MANKIND from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  And He is a GOOD FATHER, who is a HELPER and COMFORTER.  

 

And He wants to ADD to His very LARGE FAMILY.  But in order to become a MEMBER of His FAMILY, You MUST COME by way of His ONE and ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who PAID the PRICE for the REDEMPTION of ALL mankind.  And you do that by;  ADMITTING that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART 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 LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and TRUST the HEAVENLY FATHER to FORGIVE ALL your SINS and to REMOVE them as FAR as the EAST is from the WEST, because of His GREAT LOVE, and that is WHAT KIND OF HEAVENLY FATHER HE IS.  So, do this NOW, while you STILL CAN!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!! 

“The Father’s Will”

 “The Father’s Will”

 

“For it is My Father’s Will that ALL who see His Son and believe in Him should  have eternal life. I will raise them up at the Last Day.”    John 6:40

 

These are the Words of Jesus, God’s Only Son.  He was speaking to a crowd of people who were following Him just to be able to see Him do some MIRACULOUS signs.  So, He told them this:  “Those the FATHER has given Me will come to Me and I will NEVER reject them.  For I have come down from Heaven to do the Will of God who sent Me not to do My Own Will.  And this is the Will of God, that I should NOT lose EVEN ONE of ALL those He has given Me, but that I should RAISE them UP at the Last Day.” (Vv 37,38)   Even though they had seen Him and heard Him, they did NOT BELIEVE.  

 

Then He told them:  “It is My Father’s Will that ALL who SEE His son and BELIEVE in Him SHOULD have ETERNAL LIFE.  And He WILL RAISE them UP at the Last Day.”  The KEY thing here is to BELIEVE, not just SEE and HEAR, but BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD, because it is the WILL of GOD that JESUS should NOT LOSE EVEN ONE of ALL those that God has given Him, but that He would RAISE them UP at the Last Day. (V39)  This is TRULY BLESSED ASSURANCE of God’s Promise of ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  Do you have that ASSURANCE?  Or are you like the crowd who was ONLY looking for a MIRACULOUS SIGN?

 

If you have NOT COME to JESUS CHRIST for your SALVATION, you are NOT a part of those who BELIEVE and BELONG to HIM, and you will NOT be RAISED UP on the Last Day. You will face JUDGMENT and be CONDEMNED to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  However, it is the Will of God that EVERYONE who BELIEVES, should NOT PERISH, but have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  And He has a SALVATION PLAN to provide REDEMPTION for the LOST.  You MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST who PAID the PRICE for the REDEMPTION of ALL mankind.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU personally and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God. Then CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINS and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be a part of THE FATHER’S WILL.  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!

 

 

“God’s Truth”

 “God’s Truth”

 

But God’s Truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription:  “The LORD knows those who are His, and All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil.”    2 Timothy 2:19

 

When a person FIRST comes to JESUS CHRIST for their SALVATION, they are like a little child, who NEEDS to be FED and NURTURED with the WORD of the LIVING GOD.  They MUST be taken under the counsel of a MATURE BELIEVER who KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS the TRUTH of GOD’S WORD.  A GOOD, DILIGENT, worker, who does NOT NEED to be ASHAMED and who CORRECTLY EXPLAINS the Word of Truth.  And so they will be able to present themselves for God’s approval.

 

GOD’S TRUTH is: He sent His Son, JESUS to earth to bring SALVATION to a LOST and DYING world.  This was carried out through the SUFFERING,  DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of JESUS CHRIST. He was/is the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, the ONCE for ALL SACRIFICE, who made those who come to Him for SALVATION, ACCEPTABLE in GOD’S SIGHT.  And they are FORGIVEN for ALL their SINS.  And they are able to have HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS as THEIR ETERNAL HOME.  And to be able to ESCAPE HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once they are there.  This SALVATION is ONLY AVAILABLE to those who have come to JESUS for their SALVATION.  This TRUTH is FIRM as a FOUNDATION STONE, it is an UNSHAKEABLE, ETERNAL FOUNDATION that will STAND throughout the ages.  

 

And the TRUTH is: “The LORD GOD, KNOWS those who are HIS.  He KNOWS them INTIMATELY, HE KNOWS EVERYTHING about them, and LOVES them with an UNFAILING LOVE!  And those who BELONG to the LORD MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL.  They are a NEW CREATION, OLD things have PASSED AWAY and BEHOLD, ALL things have BECOME NEW.  They SHOULD NOT HOLD on to ANY of their OLD WAYS, but they SHOULD EMBRACE the ways of their Heavenly FATHER.  And be OBEDIENT to Him and His WORD.  They can do this through the Work of the HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD, who indwells EVERY TRUE BELIEVER.   Are YOU a TRUE BELIEVER?  Have you ACCEPTED GOD’S TRUTH?

 

If you have NOT, you NEED to, without fail.  The TIME for SALVATION is NOW!!  He’s COMING SOON, and you don’t want to risk your ETERNAL DESTINY.  Which will it be, HEAVEN or HELL, it is YOUR CHOICE.  If you want to spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, 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 LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then you MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and KNOW GOD’S TRUTH and SHARE IT!  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

“The Grace of God—Jesus Christ”

 “ The Grace of God—Jesus Christ”

 

For the Grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.  And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures.  We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God.     Titus 2:11-12

 

The Grace of God is not only the attribute of God, but it is Jesus Christ, Himself.  He is the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, and God’s GRACIOUS GIFT to SINFUL MANKIND.  Jesus Christ is the ONLY HOPE for FALLEN mankind.  He is the ONLY ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE that is  ABLE to COVER EVERY SIN of EVERY person who BELIEVES.  The phrase; “to all people” actually refers to ALL WHO BELIEVE.  They are the ONLY ONES who will be able to experience God’s GRACIOUS GIFT of SALVATION.  And they MUST COME by way of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who suffered and died, and was RAISED to LIFE in order to SECURE SALVATION for those who have COME to Him with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.

 

We are instructed to TURN AWAY FROM GODLESS LIVING and SINFUL PLEASURES.  When you come to JESUS for SALVATION, you are TRANSFORMED into a NEW person, with a NEW LIFESTYLE.  And you are EXPECTED to LIVE in this EVIL world with WISDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to be DEVOTED to GOD.  You are ABLE to do this because Jesus Christ lives in you through the HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD.  The HOLY SPIRIT will give you WISDOM, and you have the RIGHTEOUSNESS of JESUS in you, which will give you a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD.   This is POSSIBLE because of GOD’S GRACE—the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

 

In order to possess the GRACE of GOD, and to SECURE your SALVATION, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who GAVE His Life to SAVE your SINFUL SOUL.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, 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.  Then you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and POSSESS The GRACE of GOD—JESUS CHRIST.  If you have NOT DONE this DO it NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

“Keep This In Mind!”

 “Keep This In Mind!”

 

Remember the things I have done in the past.  For I alone am God!  I am God, and there is none like Me.  Only I can tell you the future before it even happens.  Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.   Isaiah 46:9-10

 

Even though Isaiah was speaking to those who were guilty of worshipping IDOLS made from gold and silver, by HUMAN hands, this is a message to ALL of US today.  We have been told NOT to WORSHIP any other gods, but ONLY the ONE TRUE GOD.  The One who created the world and EVERYTHING else.  He ALONE is the ALMIGHTY, POWERFUL GOD, and there is NONE LIKE Him.   

 

Now, you may be thinking that you don’t have any idols, and you don’t WORSHIP any idols.  Well, an idol is anything you put BEFORE GOD.  It could be going fishing, or golfing on SUNDAY mornings, instead of being in CHURCH, worshipping  the ALMIGHTY GOD, with your family.  It could even be a PERSON, someone you PUT BEFORE GOD.  Whatever the case, there is ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, and there is NONE like Him. 

 

He is UNIQUE, and part of that UNIQUENESS is His KNOWLEDGE and CONTROL.  ONLY He can tell the FUTURE even before it happens.  He tells us to REMEMBER the PAST.  We are to reflect on His PAST MIRACLES, and FULL-FILLED PROPHECIES.  And to BELIEVE that He IS who He says He IS.  And that WHATEVER His plans are HE WILL bring them to PASS.   Just like His PLAN of SALVATION for ALL mankind, He is the ONLY ONE who can SAVE mankind FROM their SINS, and give them an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to KEEP them from an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE once they are there.

 

He will do what He says He will do, and that is what gives the TRUE BELIEVER the HOPE of HEAVEN!  But WE have the responsibility of ACTING in accordance to His WILL.  We MUST KNOW what His WILL is for each of us, and we begin with ASKING HIM what HIS WILL is for us personally.  And in order to HEAR from Him, we MUST become His CHILD.  To do that you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who GAVE His Life to SAVE our SOUL from that ETERNITY in HELL.  Then you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, 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 lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then you MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and KNOW and BELIEVE that HE ALONE is GOD!  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!! 

“ The Benefits of Redemption”

 “The Benefits of Redemption”

 

I have swept away your sins like a cloud.  I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist.  Oh, return to Me, for I have paid the price to set you free.   Isaiah 44:22

 

The Prophet Isaiah is speaking to the Nation of Israel, concerning the restoration for Jerusalem.  He is reminding them of their PROMISED REDEMPTION.  I believe that this particular verse gives us a precise picture of the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND.  And the PRICE that was PAID to set us ALL FREE from our BONDAGE to SIN.  It gives us ASSURANCE of God’s AMAZING GRACE on our behalf.  

 

God had a PLAN for the REDEMPTION of MANKIND, already BEFORE the CROSS, and it was based on the CROSS alone.  He PROMISES to SWEEP AWAY our SINS like a CLOUD.  And to SCATTER our OFFENSES like the MORNING MIST.  In other words, He will WIPE OUT ALL our SINS.  And they will NOT be counted AGAINST those who will TURN AWAY FROM their SINS and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  

 

This is made POSSIBLE because the PRICE was PAID to SET us FREE from the BONDAGE of our SINS. This was carried out when JESUS, God’s ONLY SON, shed His BLOOD on an OLD RUGGED CROSS, and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE. And those who come to JESUS to be SET FREE from their SINS and from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there, will have the HOPE of HEAVEN and will spend their ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do you have the ASSURANCE of the BENEFITS of REDEMPTION?

 

If you do NOT have that ASSURANCE, you can receive it NOW, if you will ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  And if you will BELIEVE with ALL your HEART 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 lifestyle  and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and receive the BENEFITS of REDEMPTION.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

“HOPE—A Confident Expectation”

 “HOPE--- A Confident Expectation”

Now in this hope we were saved, yet hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?  But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.    Romans 8:24-25

The HOPE that is spoken of in the New Testament, is not like the English word---HOPE, the New Testament HOPE does NOT contain UNCERTAINITY, but it contains the CERTAINITY of something that is yet to be REALIZED.  It is the ULTIMATE PROMISE of sharing in the GLORY of the ALMIGHTY GOD.

It is the CERTAINITY or HOPE of the PROMISE of God that a TRUE BELIEVER, will, one day, be FREE from SIN and DELIVERED from an ETERNAL DESTINY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS. This is POSSIBLE, because of the REDEMPTIVE WORK of His SON, on an OLD RUGGED CROSS.  And for those who will come to JESUS CHRIST for the SALVATION of their souls, by FAITH in Him, will receive the PROMISE of a BODILY REDEMPTION and an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  This PROMISE brings us HOPE---the CONFIDENT EXPECTATION of this final step of the plan of SALVATION.

Our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also EAGERLY wait for a SAVIOR, THE Lord Jesus Christ.  He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of His GLORIOUS body, by the POWER that enables Him to subject EVERYTHING to Himself. (Philippians 3:20-21)  This is what we, the TRUE BELIEVER, EAGERLY WAITS for.  It is our HOPE---A CONFIDENT EXPECTATION of our ETERNAL DESTINY.   Do you possess this HOPE?

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you have NO HOPE.  Your ETERNAL DESTINY is HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE. This is NOT what God wants for you.  He has a WAY for you to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, which is; for you to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and to TURN TO HIM, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and have that HOPE---A CONFIDENT EXPECTATION of your ETERNAL DESTINY---HEAVEN.  So do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!

“Living Under God’s Grace”

 “Living Under God’s Grace”

 

For the Grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.   Titus 2:11

 

Remember that GRACE is: Getting what we DON’T deserve, JESUS CHRIST, the incarnate GRACE of the LIVING GOD.  God’s GRACIOUS GIFT to FALLEN MANKIND who is the SUPREME SACRIFICE that was SUFFICIENT enough to COVER EVERY SIN of EVERY one who BELIEVES.  “For God LOVED the world so MUCH that He gave His ONE and ONLY Son, so that EVERYONE who BELIEVES in Him will NOT perish but will have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.”  (John 3:16).  For there is ONLY ONE GOD and ONE MEDIATOR who can RECONCILE God and humanity—the Man CHRIST JESUS.  (1 Timothy 2:5).  

 

When we receive this GRACIOUS GIFT of God, we are to LIVE UNDER God’s GRACIOUS GIFT, which comes with GREATER RESPONSIBILITY. We have three aspects of LIVING UNDER GOD’S GRACE:  First is: RECEIVING GOD’S GIFT of SALVATION (v 11), Second is:  INSTRUCTIONS or DISCIPLINE, we are DISCIPLINED by GOD’S GRACE.  Those who understand the will of  God’s Grace, will NOT want to LIVE in SIN. They will be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM their OLD SINFUL LIFE-STYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. (V12)  There is NOTHING that is MORE ENCOURAGING for the TRUE BELIEVER, to LIVE a CHRISTIAN LIFE in this present world, then LOOKING FORWARD, with HOPE to the SECOND COMING of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. (V 13)  When Christ returns we shall see His GLORY, and will SHARE His GLORY.  For God wanted us to KNOW that the RICHES and GLORY of CHRIST are for the GENTILES, (those who are not Jews) too.  And this is the SECRET;  Christ LIVES in you, the TRUE BELIEVER.  This gives you, the TRUE BELIEVER, the ASSURANCE of SHARING His GLORY.  (Col. 1:27). Do YOU have that ASSURANCE?

 

If your answer is NO, or if you don’t KNOW, you can CHANGE your answer and ETERNAL DESTINY, from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there, to;  an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, by:  ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE for YOUR SALVATION.  Then you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS GAVE His LIFE 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, and start LIVING UNDER GOD’S GRACE.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, through His ONE and ONLY Son, JESUS CHRIST, and START LOOKING for His RETURN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

“The Good News”

 “The Good News”

 

This Good News tells us how God makes us right in His Sight.  This is accomplished from start to finish by faith.  As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”    Romans 1:17

 

This GOOD NEWS is for EVERYONE, and it is the POWER of GOD at work, SAVING EVERYONE who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. Verses sixteen and seventeen are the theme of Paul’s letter; which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which reveals the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD that is based on FAITH, and it is available to ALL who BELIEVE.

 

RIGHTEOUSNESS is the state of being JUST or RIGHTFUL, and it comes from GOD through the REDEEMING WORK of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  He is the ONLY ONE who can make us JUST or RIGHT in GOD’S EYES.  He gives us His RIGHTEOUSNESS and we then are able to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, as His BELOVED Children.  But this RELATIONSHIP with GOD is ONLY POSSIBLE through our FAITH in His BELOVED SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  

 

In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he said:  “God saved you by His Grace when you BELIEVED. And you can’t take credit for this, it is a Gift from God.  SALVATION is NOT a reward for the good things we have done, so NONE of us can boast about it.  For we are God’s Masterpiece.  He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.”  (Vv-8-10).  As the Scriptures say, “No one is RIGHTEOUS—not even one.”  (Rom. 3:10).  But people are counted RIGHTEOUS, not because of their works, but because of their FAITH in GOD who FORGIVES sinners.”  (Rom. 4:5)  And this is GOOD NEWS!!

 

We are ALL infected and impure with sin.  When we display OUR RIGHTEOUS deeds, they are NOTHING but FILTHY RAGS.  And like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and OUR SINS sweep us away like the wind.  (Isaiah 64:6).  And our ETERNAL DESTINY is an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. Is this your DESTINY?

 

You now know the GOOD NEWS, your DESTINY is in YOUR HANDS.  If you REJECT GOD, and the GOOD NEWS about SALVATION through His SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then you will seal your fate to an ETERNITY in HELL, unless you will ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in need of the SAVIOR, JESUS, who SUFFERED, BLED, and DIED and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the grave, so mankind could have a RIGHTEOUS RELATIONSHIP with HOLY GOD.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  And 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.  And ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and be a recipient of the GOOD NEWS, and be made RIGHTEOUS in GOD’S SIGHT.  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!!!

“The HOPE Of ALL the World”

 “The HOPE Of ALL the World”

 

 

“And His Name will be the HOPE of ALL the world.”   Matthew 12:21

 

I don’t know about YOU, but I would hate to have to live in this world, without HOPE. The Holy Word of the LIVING GOD, tells us that we have HOPE, and all we MUST do to be able to RELY on this HOPE is to put our TRUST in GOD ALONE. 

 

So, you might ask; WHO or WHAT is this HOPE and HOW can we obtain it?  Well, let us look at WHO is our HOPE:  In verse eighteen, it tells us that our HOPE is God’s Servant, whom He has CHOSEN.  He is God’s BELOVED, who PLEASES Him.  And God will place His SPIRIT upon Him, and He will PROCLAIM JUSTICE to the nations.  He will NOT fight or shout or raise His voice in public.  Which means; He will NOT come ready to start a ruckus, or to put into effect His political agendas, or His military plans, nor with a GREAT FANFARE, but He comes with HUMILITY, GENTLENESS, and MEEKNESS—-PROCLAIMING JUSTICE to ALL the NATIONS.  

 

  He will NOT CRUSH the WEAKEST REED or PUT OUT the FLICKERING CANDLE, these represent the WEAK and those who are deemed USELESS by worldly standards.  But He came to RESTORE and REKINDLE them.  This speaks about His COMPASSION and UNFAILING LOVE for the LOWLIEST of those in NEED of HOPE, and SALVATION.  He came NOT as a CONQUERING HERO, but He came as a LOWLY SERVANT of the ALMIGHTY GOD, to show MERCY and GRACE by His OBEDIENCE to His HEAVENLY FATHER, He IS the ONLY SON of the LIVING GOD.  And He is the ONLY WAY to OBTAIN HOPE for an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  He GAVE His LIFE to SAVE MANKIND from such a destiny, and so MANKIND could have that ETERNAL HOPE of HEAVEN as their ETERNAL HOME.  

 

In order to possess this HOPE, you MUST GIVE your HEART and LIFE TOTALLY to GOD, through His SALVATION PROCESS, which is this:  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED, and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE.  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 let the BLESSED NAME of JESUS CHRIST be YOUR HOPE for an ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
