¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16

God loves everyone, but not everyone returns to the Father to receive their free gift of eternal life. So, yes, His love for us is Eternal. Psalms 136. It’s unconditional. Romans 5:7-8. But His love can only do so much.

His love is what allows us to return to Him and receive salvation, but His love for you won’t save you if you don’t come to Him. Just as the prodigal son couldn’t receive food, shelter, water, life without returning to his father, neither can we receive Eternal Life without returning to our Heavenly Father.

God’s love alone won’t save you. You have to make the conscientious decision to accept His love and abide in His love. Otherwise, we will remain outside of His love.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Return to Your Heavenly Father.

²⁵ If someone sins against a man, God will mediate for him, but if someone sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him? ~ 1 Samuel 2:25b

If we offend man, God will intercede for us, but if we offend God, who can intervene for us? For who can deliver out of His hand? We get so caught up in being friends with the world that we willingly offend God. We willingly slap Him in the face on behalf of the world.

Why does this matter? God is a loving, forgiving God. Let me just be straight and upfront. Jesus is coming back real soon. And there is a right way, and there is a wrong way to live. I suggest you find the right way so that when Jesus comes back, He will find you doing what you ought to be doing because who can deliver out of His hand? Who can protect you from His wrath? Who can undo your sins and pay your debt to Him?

So, the question is, are you doing what you ought to be doing? Are you on the right path? Are you ready for Jesus’ return? If not, you can be. All you have to do is ask, Jesus already did the heavy lifting. He died and paid the price so that you didn’t have to. He has become our mediator between man and God. It’s not too late. As long as your heart is beating in your chest, there is hope.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Call the Mediator.

¹² There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. ~ Proverbs 14:12

There are things we might count as acceptable and not really that important. You might even make the excuse, “Oh, God understands.” But that’s just our carnal nature talking. Because God understands alright. He understands that there is a way that seems right, but its end is death.

Those same things that might not be important to us, or might seem acceptable enough, you know they’re not too bad, those same things just might be of utmost importance and totally unacceptable to God. Therefore, you better find out what seems right unto God, who will judge and award accordingly.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Find What is Right.

⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1 John 1:9

So, if your sins are forgiven, you are also cleansed, and if you are cleansed, you are also free, which means you will be miraculously transformed into a saint. So, live like it. Live like you are forgiven. Live like you’re cleansed. Live like you’re free.

Why does it matter? Because if God has forgiven you, and you no longer do the things you used to do or say the thing you used to say, you are no longer the same person; you are now a new creature in Jesus Christ. You are a Saint of God.

Why? Because we must become a new creation so that we might win others. The world cannot lead the world to the Truth. The blind cannot lead the blind to the Promised Land. The ignorant cannot teach the ignorant. We have to put off our old self and become a new creation in Christ Jesus that He might dwell in us and lead the lost to Himself through us.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Live As New.

¹ In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. ³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴ And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. ~ Genesis 1:1-5

Isn’t it interesting how it never says God created the darkness? It’s like the darkness always existed… So, to counteract that darkness, God created light. Darkness is what everything is born into because darkness is the lack of light, and God is light.

No matter how good we think we are, all have sinned and fallen short. All are born of sin. All need repentance. Therefore all are born in darkness, just like Heaven and earth in the very beginning. But just like God created light to break the oppression of darkness over Heaven and earth, He sent the light (Jesus) to earth to break the oppression of darkness over us.

He didn’t leave us in the dark; God Himself got off of His throne and came to earth so that we could have light. The light that can’t be overcome by darkness. The light that brings life. The light that makes a way where there is no way. The light that wasn’t created in the beginning but was from before the beginning. A greater and better light than the light spoken into being on that first day. The light that is literally God incarnate. Don’t miss your opportunity to leave the darkness.

Don’t miss your opportunity to be free and have life everlasting. Today is the day of Salvation; tomorrow is promised to no man. So seek God while He can still be found. Don’t let fear and shame deceive you; there’s no amount of darkness that is too dark for God to overcome. He’s already overcome the world. He’s already paid your debt. He’s already gone to the cross and taken your pain and suffering upon Himself. He’s already done the heavy lifting. All you have to do is accept His free gift of Salvation.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Seek the Light.
