Jesus Loves You

07/30/2023 12:29

Friend, when we read The Bible, we find that God loves us. 

We find that The Son loves us. 

And we find that the Holy Spirit has a job to do. He is the Holy Divine Comforter who reveals Jesus's Message of The Holy New Covenant to us. The Holy Spirit who is God, also loves the Father and The Son; therefore He loves as they do; as One Holy God in three "persons."

Father, Son and Spirit we find, are described as Love, in The Bible meaning their Love is Holy; above how we love each other.

"And we have known and believed the Love that God hath to us. God Is Love; and he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:16 KJV

"And the Grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and Love which is in Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 1:14 KJV

Jesus came to show the disciples who would go forth in ministry like Himself, they were to preach The Good News. He gave them a new purpose; fishers of men's souls.

He taught and showed them a way of living that He wanted passed on to all peoples until He comes again at the end of what we know as "time." 

He taught how to be a person who knew that they were Loved of God. He taught them the ways of living in the flesh with others, and of obeying God at the same time, which God had intended from the beginning and as set out in His Ten Commandments to Moses.

A result of His coming to earth that we do not think of often; is that His time here has changed humanity. It was intended to do so. God showed what it cost Him to "correct" us! He sacrificed His Own Holy Flesh; shed His Own Holy Blood to make a New Covenant with us. 

We just have to recognise this fact and believe, and He will come to visit us, His Holy Spirit to our spirit. He will convict us of what sin truly is.

We come to know through His Word; there is One God above all other man made idol gods; Who Is Truth and Love, Whose Holy Character is governed by Holy Law, Who does no wrong, is Perfect in all His Ways. This knowledge has given good minded people Hope. 

It has shown humanity they are far from Truth, Peace, Love, and Perfection.

When He sent His Holy Spirit to be our Helper and Comforter, He showed Great Pure Love for us.

"Hereby perceive we the Love of God, because He laid down His life for us." 1 John 3:16 KJV

When He went to The Cross; suffering before the ridicule and torment of the judicial system; an innocent man, He bore our suffering never failing in His Love for us. He was undertaking the requirements of The Law of God to take on our Lawful Punishment. 

We are guilty of breaking The Law of God; but He was not. He never sinned. He lived a faultless life here. Only God Himself could accomplish this, having all the Truth and Power and God Ability to see and speak to evil, when He saw it at play amongst us; and when it came against Him inside of men and women with whom He interacted.

After three years of itinerant ministry to His people, the Jews, He was betrayed by one of His disciples, knowing the betrayer and the sinful reasons why.

In Love for all He had created, He bore our stripes on His back, the thorny crown upon His head, the hateful jeering words upon His heart and mind, and finally The Cross and the spear; shedding His Blood for all who believe He paid for their sin.

"In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him." 1 John 4:9 KJV

He showed His Great Love, and we showed Him hate, pride, bitterness, revenge, greed, and how evil we had become. It permeates our soul and spirit yet He loved us anyway; and went to The Cross.

"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is Mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with Joy; He will rest in His Love, He will Joy over thee with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 KJV

Just a few of those who purported to love Him were there at the end of His life here on earth, and what was in their hearts? Fear for themselves. Sorrow for themselves.

Until we understand that by the measure of God's Holy (Perfect) Law, we are guilty of breaking His Law, then we cannot understand that we are in need of a Saviour.

"And the Lord direct your hearts into the Love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ." 2 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV

We in the world think we know what love is. We all have our own ideas but God's Perfect Love is the Maxim of what Love is.

"That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy Life, and the length of thy days: Deuteronomy 30:20 KJV

We put restrictions on our love for our fellow man; for our children, for our spouses and friends, yet we each say our way of loving is best, and other's faulty.

We even judge God's Love. We say He's incorrect in loving someone we see as unworthy. We think He shoud love in the exact way we love, yet we are all different in our love for one another, even to the point of warring with other tribes and people groups; murdering spouses, selfishly using parents, the list is endless.

God has just Ten Commandments that speak to our whole life while here on earth.

And we cannot stay in the lines. 

This is why we need a Redeemer Kinsman; a Godly Saviour, a Great Warrior; a Powerful King, a Just Judge to rescue our souls.

We need One Who Loves beyond our weak ability to love. One who sees all; one who knows all; one who has all the Power; one who is Just.

"He brought me to the banqueting house, and His banner over me was Love." Song of Solomon 2:4 KJV

He extends to us an invitation to join Him at the banqueting table; (its a high honour) and when we come to Him, He invites us into fellowship with Him. He becomes our Mentor, our Teacher, our Provider and Healer. All our needs according to His Will and Law will be met with abundance.

"I will heal their backsliding, I will Love them freely: for Mine anger is turned away from him." Hosea 14:4 KJV

"Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" Romans 8:35 KJV

If we allow our troubles to keep us from Christ Jesus, we are fools. He is the Only One Who can help us through them. We cannot get to the root of the problems. We can mask with great willpower but the root will always be there; for it is evil, and our words alone without the Power of God cannot root it out.

"The LORD preserveth all them that love Him: but all the wicked will He destroy." Psalms 145:20 KJV

Many of us want to show the world that we are good people, and we want to take all responsibility for our own progressions through life. 

It is " I," "we,"  "us," "our," and "my" that God hears, when it should be always about Him.

Those are the wicked that God destroys, for they do not want Him or His Help. They deny Him, and He will give them their just due. 

They will be shocked to find out that they have a master, but it is not the Good and Loving God. 

It is satan, the evil, wicked created being just like themselves.
