“Evidence of Our Relationship with the Invisible God”

 “Evidence of Our Relationship with the Invisible God”

 

No one has ever seen God.  But if we love each other, God lives in us, and His Love is brought to FULL expression in us.  1 John 4:12

 

There is NO REASON to doubt the EXISTENCE of God just because you or no one else has EVER seen God.  You can’t see the WIND, but you know that it is there because you NOTICE the EFFECTS of it.  Such as, the trees swaying or bits of paper swirling in the air.  And we TRUST that it is there, because we are still breathing it. 

One of the MOST IMPORTANT EVIDENCES that those who have GIVEN their HEART and LIFE to God, is the RELATIONSHIP we have with Him.  In verses seven to the end of the chapter, it tells us that God is LOVE, and ANYONE who LOVES is a Child of God and KNOWS GOD. Therefore, they would have a RELATIONSHIP with Him. Anyone who does NOT LOVE  does NOT KNOW GOD, for GOD IS LOVE.

God showed how much He LOVED US by sending His ONE and ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST, into the world so that WE might have ETERNAL LIFE through HIM.  This is REAL LOVE, EVERLASTING LOVE, AGAPE LOVE. Not LOVE like a love between a man and a woman. But it is a PURE, UNENDING LOVE.  It is NOT based on the fact that we LOVED Him, BUT that HE LOVED US. And SENT His Son as a SACRIFICE to take AWAY our SINS. 

And since the INVISIBLE GOD LOVED us that much, we surely ought to LOVE each other with a LOVE like God loves us.  And if we LOVE EACH OTHER like that we will have a RELATIONSHIP with HIM, and the EVIDENCE of that RELATIONSHIP will be EXPRESSED to a LOST and DYING WORLD, through US, the TRUE CHILDREN of the INVISIBLE, ALMIGHTY, EVERLASTING GOD, CREATOR of ALL THINGS.  

Do YOU have a RELATIONSHIP with Him?  Anyone who will CONFESS that JESUS is the SON of GOD, has a RELATIONSHIP with Him, and it will SHOW that GOD ABIDES in THEM.

This is what you MUST DO:  ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, God’s ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS, the SON of GOD, SUFFERED, BLED, DIED, and was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE.  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 SHOW that you have a RELATIONSHIP with GOD by the EVIDENCE of your LOVE for Him and His Family.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
