Often times the things I write about are great advice for the body of christ, However its not the Gospel the to good to be true news. Romans 2:4 says ...The goodness of God leadeth the to repentance. The world Knows write from wrong, whether they choose to serve the God of obedience or disobedience though is what seperates them from christians. The goodness of God is what the life of Jesus Christ was all about, (luke 9:56) For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives but to save them... Hearing the correct way to to live isnt a wrong teaching but its not gonna lead man to repentance, or a changed way of thinking. The carnal mind cant wrap around how Good God is. No way a man would die for people that didnt serve him, or atleast the ones who didnt live right would receive some form of punishment. Hebrew 9:12 ... but but by his blood entered in once into the Holy place having obtained ETERNAL redemption for us (emphasis mine). Once and for all christ blood was shed so that we can be eternally redeemed. Hebrews 8:12 says For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Praise God He isnt up there holding our sins and everything we do wrong against us, it goes on to say that he doesnt even remember our sins. God is Love (1 john 4:8) its who he is, therefore its what he does. The theif cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and have it more abundantly (john 10:10). When you come to Christ your not giving up your life but rather gaining it. I enjoy living in the presence of God and all the blessings that encompass me, being a christian doesnt mean you live in a utopia but I have fun living in his awesome presence and being joyful, happy, prosperous, healed, and set free. God isnt here to judge or condemn us he is here so that we can live, Jesus said in JOhn 8:15 I judge no man. You know whats amazing Gods love isnt just extended to Christians, see his love is unconditional its not even based on if you serve him or accept him or not its based on that he is love therefore he loves you, Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, christ died for us. Christ didnt come and die for a church full of christians he came and died for a bunch of sinners who were unworthy and unfit for the kingdom because he Loved them God didnt force his son and jesus dragged his feet all the way to the cross, Jesus out of love so no other way for us to inherit the kingdom except his blood be shed so he freely said I love them ill be the mediator Ill take on the sins of the world . For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Cor 5:21). And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world ( 1 john 2:2). Wow do you know what this means, it means that God came lived his life like no other man can, sinless, died on the cross as a sinner, not only to take on the sins of people who accepted him but everyones sins the whole worlds sins, once and for all. Think of the worst person and the worste sin they have done and if you could see them through Gods eyes you wouldnt see anything except complete love for them and compassion. I know our minds dont wrap aroundf this, no way God isnt angry at these people for what they have done, listen God is love he doesnt remember sin, he died for the sins of the whole world while we were yet sinners, and every body has come short of the glory of God (romans 3:23) therefore everyone needs his unconditional love and Grace. He doesnt see one mans sin versus another he sees LOve love love. The only sin God will send a man to Hell for is not believing on him (john 16:8-9). But it is his will that non should perish (2 peter 3:9).
Jesus said in John 17:22-23, "and the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. The same glory that God had for Jesus christ is the same Glory that Jesus christ has given to you. You are Highly valued in the Kingdom of God. Your not a lowly sinner saved by grace, your a new creature in christ (2 cor 5:17). He hath raised us up together, and made us sit togther in heavenly places in christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). Therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; (ephesians 2:19). Jesus Christ has made it so that its no longer about you but about him, when Satan points to you, you point to Jesus and say HE is the one, he is the reason why I am righteous and pure he is the reason Im healed, he is the reason I am on my Way to heaven and living in prosperity not because of what I have done but through Jesus Christ I am part of his Household im not just in the kingdom of God Im a part of his Household.
God is Love, not sickness or poverty, therefore he doesnt give you what he is not. He gives you unconditional Love. Because He is a good God. THrough Jesus Christ someone like me and you is righteous and powerful and we are complete in him (COL 2:10). Jesus Christ loves us so much he gave his life so that we can live ours in peace of knowing who we are in Christ. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17). The Goodness of God leadeth man to Repentance (Romans 2:4), And God is GOOD.
