Jesus became the “Only Begotten” Son of God. He became in our likeness, but without the sin; and He gave Himself to take away our sin. He came to rescue us from being slaves of sin. (John 3:16)

Substance abuse is slavery to sin. Habitual sexual misconduct is slavery to sin. Cruelty of our own making and cruelty from others is slavery to sin. Jesus came to take our sin away.

We don’t have to read that “He came unto His own and His own received Him not;” to know that some men reject God. To do so, to reject God, is factual. God came into the garden seeking Adam. Jesus came into the world, as His word reads, to seek and to save us from certain destruction.

Unforgiven sin is not a light matter; especially because God searches every man’s heart with the express purpose of cleansing us from all our sin. If the Lord has not washed away all our sin, we will go into eternity stained, marked by our own wrong-doing . . . lost.

Before the foundation of the earth, we learn from the Bible, Jesus – the Lamb of God – was slain. He would come; “To seek and to save the lost.” As the Father had come saying, “Adam, where are you.”

From the Bible, we learn that Father God by the Holy Spirit draws upon us to respond to Him in an honest relationship.
We learn that Holy God reaches down into our unholy lives seeking our consent to take away our sin. Only fools say, “No God!”

Yes, life, and eternal life are the gift of God. Never possible could we earn the opportunity of life, of eternal life, of a cleansed heart, of the implant of God’s Self into us. This is called in scripture; God’s salvation; His sanctification; and we are given only the choice to receive Him and from Him or to refuse Him and go it alone.

Faith is built in us from our first coming to know Him; when we first received Christ Jesus the Lord, but there remains in this life the question as to how we will live through faith. What choices – in response to His persuasion – will we make?

God desires that we will become as a city on a hill – beacon of hope to others – as badly needed salt in this world. To be used of God in reaching others is a choice; actually many choices.

Renewed and revived Christian living is always as was our beginning with Christ; with listening and abiding in the Holy Spirit. God is no more reluctant to revive us than He was to come to us in our salvation experience. He actually invites us urgently, “Return to your first Love.” That’s HIM. (Revelations 2:4)

It was after His resurrection and through the aged Apostle John that Jesus said – to the churches– “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man will open the door, I will come into Him and we will have fellowship.” God has never let our sins and failures stop Him from reaching out to us. Love, true love, His Love is like that.

Not infrequently we on our own make a mess of our lives. We also suffer because of other’s wrongdoing.

We would be unfit for heaven; we would re-create Hells like earth has seen prelude, unless we enter heaven spotless as was the Lamb of God who was slain before God began with creation.

Sin, our sin, never His, is not a problem God did not anticipate. Each human being would have their beginning on earth at birth but – and this is a mystery to us, not to Him – before we even entered our mother’s womb biologically, God knew us individually.

We are each His creation. We are not biological accidents. We live and move and make choices in our bodies; but, from the Bible we learn that “We live and move and have our being in Him.”
(Acts 28:17)

Along life’s way – throughout history – men have continuously come to believe that there is more to us than the eye can see. This conclusion comes to us logically; but un-clearly. But from God’s special revelation; from the Bible, we can learn that He has a plan for us, that it is good and not evil, that He desire to prosper and bless us. In the midst of life’s difficulties this scriptural promise should draw us to God.

Jesus taught a parable about a man who found a treasure in a field and then sold all he had to obtain that field. He was teaching about a field, mediocre to those who knew not its contents; but worth a life of earnings to who did and would find its worth.

That the Bible has questionable worth to some teachers is of no value to anyone. That it contains the “words of life” – according to those who have even died to make it available to us – according to the disciples of Jesus – according to successful ministries yet today; is a fact too blaring to be intelligently dismissed.

God desired “to bring many Sons/persons to glory: Jesus included me. My elder brother took me upon His cross. My elder brother taught me to pray to “Our Father.” He made us family.

We will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. Almighty, Omnipotent, God only wise.

Once Jesus said, “I am in you: you are in me, and we are one in the Father.” Mere eyes cannot grasp this glorious love. With our ears and our understanding we cannot fathom the generosity of God.

The Holy Spirit reveals to us that His awesome love; His desire is for us and has never been against us.

I want to see Jesus; He’s the one that died for me.”
