GOD LOVES YOU
(Please read to the end)
DOES GOD EXIST? For
since the creation of the world, God’s
invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made, so that people are without
excuse. Romans 1:20
Everyone believes in
God. Only fools say there is no God. The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who
does good. Psalm 14: 1. If you are asked to mention a number of
good works, you'll likely mention things like loving your neighbour, being
honest, giving etc. Isaiah 64:6 is a verse from the Bible that reads:
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we
all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” This verse reminds us that, in
comparison to the perfection God requires, all our works
are as filthy rags. God has seen and known that the man he created is weak and
can never help himself.
GOD
IS HOLY 1 Peter
1:15-16 –
But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since
it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Leviticus 20:26 –
"You shall be holy to me, for I the LORD am holy and have separated you
from the peoples, that you should be mine". God is Holy and there is
no atom of sin in Him. One thing that repels us from God is sin.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. Death here means being separated from God. God is our source of
life. When you separate fish from water, it dies. It may still survive for some
few minutes, but it will surely die. God created man so he can
always have direct relationship and fellowship with him. God is our
source and we've all been separated from Him. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God". God told Adam, the first man he
created; "...but
you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you
eat from it you will certainly die.” Genesis 2:17. He ate
the fruit and died. Someone may ask, “how did he die?” He was
separated from God. There
was no direct
fellowship between
God
and man. When God created everything, in His wisdom, He provided a for continuity in them. So, the birds
reproduce their kind. Animals and trees likewise reproduce their own kind. Adam reproduced his kind. We are all descendants of
Adam and by default we are separated from God (DEAD).
KNOWING GOD. Everyone
born on earth desires to know God. By default, every man
interacts with God’s creation, and this brings the question: Where
is the Creator?
Most people because they don't see any physical being called GOD, they tend to
disbelieve in the existence of God. The word of God clearly says,
“For since
the creation of the world, God’s
invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has
been made, so that people are without excuse”. Romans
1:20
Nature is GOD's creation. So, our
forefathers thought God was in trees. They carved images and worshipped
them. Others thought God dwells in the sun, moon, water or in animals, and they
worshipped those elements. God saw man's effort, and being all-knowing and
merciful, knew
that the man he created cannot survive without Him.
THE GOOD NEWS. "For God
so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that WHOSOEVER
believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life". John 3:16. This is
God's gift to humanity. If we reject God's gift, it means we have rejected God.
It also implies that we do not want to be reconciled with Him. Aside Jesus
Christ,
there is no other SALVATION given to man by
God. Acts 4:12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no
other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must
be saved.” He
was used as the sacrificial lamb. The next
day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who
takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29. Only Jesus Christ died
for you; only Jesus Christ paid the
price.
Revelations
5:9...For
You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
He has called us out of
every tribe, tongues, and nation. It's alright if you have Judaic, Islamic,
Buddhistic, or a paganistic history. He understands that you want to know
him, and he has made provisions for that. God is calling you out of the
darkness you've been in. You never know you’ve been
in the dark for long till you come to the light.
You
may be asking yourself "How Do I accept Jesus
Christ"?
John 1:12
says "Yet
to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he
gave the right to become children of God".
Romans 10:9–10 —If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
If you're thinking
that you are the most sinful, then you are the most qualified for this gift. He
will wash you, cleanse you, and present you blameless. Hebrews 3:15 ... Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your
hearts... Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears
my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and
he with me."
Confess
these words today and be saved!
Father, I thank you for the gift of your dearly beloved son Jesus Christ. I believe that he died, and you raised him from the dead. Today, I accept him as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you for granting me eternal life and accepting me as your dear child.
CONGRATULATIONS! If you have confessed these words, you are saved.
You are now a member and citizen of God's eternal kingdom. You are now a child of
God.
1
Peter 2:9 But
you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special
possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light.
The basic unit of every kingdom is family. You need to belong to a family where you will have fellowship with brothers and sisters, and you will be trained, nurtured, and equipped in the word of God. You need to join the church and be part of God's children here on Earth. Christ Jesus is the head and institutor of the Church. He is Coming back.
GOD LOVES YOU!
I LOVE YOU!
