“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” – John 3:16
Our Father created the world in which we live. His Power is without question. It always will be, even if there are many who seek to forget it (What a surprise they are in for!). And whether it is the Old Testament or the New Testament, the Creation of the World or the Ending of it, the events of Moses’ life or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the existence of God’s Power is clear.
But perhaps one of the most Powerful Gifts that God uses is the Sword of Truth. For it is the Truth of Jesus Christ that creates an eternal future for us in Heaven and creates a Bridge to our Father today. It is the Truth of God’s Mercy and Judgement that decides our forever future. It is God’s Truth, written in the Holy Bible, that is our Roadmap for our life. It tells us how to live and who to love. It tells us what God considers to be sin. And it tells us how to be forgiven ?
It shares with us that we can, with God’s Help, lead a righteous life or a sinful one. It’s our choice, given to us by God Himself, but we also need to remember that choices have consequences.
It’s important to note that there is not a person alive that can lead 100% of their life without ever falling committing a sin at some point. We all sin and we all need forgiven. And we are forgiven-through accepting the Gift of Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
God would not have allowed Jesus to suffer so if there was another way, because God so loved His Son. It’s hard to even imagine how much our Father must have suffered watching His Son suffer so!
But that is also how much He loved us! And Jesus loved us too, so much. And our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit love us that much now! ?
