1 John 4 Part 1

I'd like to start off today with a quick testimony. After I finished my writing on the simplicity of making an impact i headed straight to work where I deliver Pizza. The first house I delivered to a young girl came to the door and said Im sorry my mom would come to the door but she is Injured, i thought it was a bit strange she told me because often kids come to the door for their parents, but immediately the love of God came over me and said Pray for her. Im not by any means the perfect christian and began to head back to my car and said Lord I have to get back to work im on a scheduled time, because obviously God doesnt already know that lol, BUt he said you have her number call her. So i gathered myself and called and I said Hello this is Dalton calling from dominoes I just delivered pizza to you and this might seem strange to you i dont know if you are a christian or not but the Lord has instructed me to pray for you and I heard her telling the kids, " Its the pizza delivery guy, he wants to pray for us." Then she said to me yes we are christians. I said praise God, and the lord quickened me that it was her back and asked mam you have a physical injury, is it your back or??? and she said Its my back I threw it out at work and workmans comp isnt coming through so we are struggling. SO i prayed for her and commanded her back to be healed and prayed for prosperity as well and I began to pray for workmans Comp to come through but if she is healed she didnt need it so i prayed for prosperity. I later found out her friends were praying for her that someone would be sent her way. And praise God i was that man. Its incredible the impact we :can make if its done in love. Gods always there and always for us, so who can be against us (Romans 8:31). God can and will use anyone who will allow him where they are at, even a pizza delivery guy.



          Recently God has layed on my heart to reveal his Love. And through revealing his Love i have been revealed to it. But when I first started hearing about Gods Love and how we as christians are to portray his Love at all times, i thought to myself well Dalton you got a longgggggg way to go before you reach that kind of super christian ability. But as a called man of God i strived to do MY best to gain this Love and give it to others, and I got pretty good at it on the outside but MY best isnt Gods best Gods best isnt a Love we work for Gods best is giving something we had given to us, being blessed and blessing others. And recently I gave up my own efforts and allowed God to show me his Love was already in me all I had to do was allow it to flow out of me.
         The Love of God truly began to flow through me when i realized it wasnt my Love for God but his Love for me.
1 John 4:10
               ¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1John 4:19
                ¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

You see i applied this to my life in any other aspect of the Gospel, were saved by grace through faith, and that not of your selves: it is a gift from God: ( Ephesians 2:8). God is a Giver and he has made everything ours through christ, we dont have to do anything except accept it. But from some reason I assumed it was my responsibilty to obtain this Godly Love on my own, because there is a a worldly Love it must be something done by my works, I just had to praise God a few hours a day and be extremely happy and the next time someone offended me I could turn the cheek cause Im friends with God you cant hurt me. Thats not Love thats boasting in your own efforts.
1 JOhn 4:7 says
                ⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
   When i heard this verse I figured i hit two out of three, i Knew God and was Born of Him, but the love wasnt there. BUt then verse 8 goes on to say.
                ⁸He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

When i first heared this i thought who is this John guy telling me I dont know God. And i realized at first glance this verse might seem condemning, but nto me it was the verse that set me free.  I said God but I know you. And he said exactly. Verse 15-16 says.
¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
 ¹⁶And 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.

Praise the Lord I already Got it!!!!!!! Its this simple I confessed Jesus is the son of God, therefore he dwelleth in me, and I in God, and if God is Love and he dwells in me then the perfected Love of God dwells in me. Amen

Once i found this out i turned it loose. It was never me trying to obtain it, simply because God loved me I had Gods love not because I loved him. I discovered true love for the first time in Christ and have been only discovering more and more the LOve I already have. The christian life is finding out what you already got not trying to get it.

The Lord has instructed me that my next writing 1 JOhn 4 part 2 of many to come will be on verse 18
¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
And then either that one or the next will be on  1 John 4 how we Quenchs Gods love through us. So im really excited.
Hey God bless you all, youve got Gods love in you now be blessed to be a blessing.

The Simplicity of Making an Impact

1 John 3:1 (King James Version)

1 John 3

 ¹Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

NOw this is incredible we are the sons or for you ladies Daughters of GOD. Its very easy to hear a statement like this and perceive it with a earthly mind and down play it. But this statement is better then you can even wrap your mind around. The kind of favor we have, a son is a heir a receiver of inheritance not based on his actions or works but simply because of his birthright. There is so much to be takin from this verse but i believe the Lord wants me to adress the topic of the simplicity of making an impact.
      I think that it is so awesome to see people on fire for the Lord. Its so cool to see what the Lord can do in a person, set free, prosper, healed, Loved,Peace, Happiness, Joy and so much more. But satan I believe one of his greatest weapons is taking something that is a miracle and manipulating it and twisting it as an attack to come against that person. One of the most common things I see is condemnation or guilt for being a simple christian and not making a big enough impact in the world. This is such an evil Lie. Im here to tell you today that if you are my brother or sister in christ God is pleased with you beyond your understanding, because its not based on you its based on  Jesus Christ, the best and most perfect example of a Christian. Satan uses a technique i like to call holding the carrot in front of the donkey. Because I can tell you Satan will never stop bringing condemnation no matter how many people you are reaching. In fact its my opinion the more you build your rerlationship with the Lord the harder satan brings condemnation of being less then what you should be. There has been times in my life where I was barely in the Word and condemned because I knew God had a calling on my life and I felt like I wasnt qualified, But God hasnt had anyone qualified working for him yet. And there has been times that i have spent hours in the word and still been condemned because i wasted  hour of free time at the gym. You cant do anything to make God Love you more or make him love you less. And let me tell you this YOU CANT FAIL GOD. Your his Son and your inheritance isnt based on performance so how can you fail him.
    1 John 3:9
⁹Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Praise God I have a covenant with God almighty in which I am Born of God and cannot sin.

     Another thing that people do is begin to compare themselves to other people. If I compare myself to Andrew wommack I am a Nobody but if Andrew compares himself to Jesus he is a Nobody you can never reach a place that your good enough or your works bless God. Our confidence isnt in ourselves but in GOd.
1 JOhn 3: 20-21
²⁰For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
 ²¹Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

You dont have to be a preacher to 50,000 people, you simply have to be a light unto the world, with your life be a blessing at all times. Theres people Andrew Wommack and Joseph prince will never reach but you will. IF your a stay at home mom be a light at the store and especially be a light to your children.
1 JOhn 3:18 says
¹⁸My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
You know what i believe this is saying is talk is cheap the world can seee right through you, words of Love are empty with out a heart a Love of God through you to back it up. You know once you know the Love of God its almost impossible to not be a light its to good not to Glow with Joy happiness peace. Youll see changes in your life, your relationships, finances, health, and much more and so will the world they will see your fruit which you bear. It doesnt matter if your a preacher or student or employee or homless It doesnt matter to God he will use you right where you are, you know a simple loving smile is starting to become shocking to the world, a simple phone call your in my prayers, a simple paying for someones lunch can bless someone more then you would ever know. And just because the person doesnt break down cry and tell you you changed their lives doesnt mean that you didnt plant a seed and make an impact.  God abides in us, by the spirit which he hath given us ( 1 John 3:24), so where you go so does the Holy spirit. Lets make an impact and lets start with something as simple as LOVE.

Loving God

Ephesians 3:17-19 (King James Version)
 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
      
       As the Body of Christ we must be grounded in the Love of our Lord and to discover the Love of God is an adventure that will last forever. The Love of God passeth our knowledge. I believe no one will ever know the fullness of God's love until we enter into his Kingdom.Through this verse is revealed the importance of being grounded and rooted in the love of God, to know the Love of Christ is to be filled with the fullness of God. It's very easy to seek the bi-products of God's Love to us, such as healing and prosperity and all the wonderful gifts God so loves and enjoys giving to us, that we miss out on the best relationship we could ever have. I always encourage anyone I talk to to just get to know the lord, psalms 34:8 says  taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trusteth in him (KJV). God doesn't need us to defend his Love, lead someone simply to the love of God, let them taste it themselves. I can tell someone how great Momma's potato salad is, but until they taste and see for their self they will never know what heavenly potato salad they are missing. Jude 1:21 (NIV) says, keep yourself in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. But how am I able to tell someone how great Momma's potato salad is if I've never eaten it myself? Momma has cooked it, it is made, everyone tells me how good it is, it sounds good, smells good, looks good, but I personally have no idea how good it is until I grab a spoon out of the drawer dip it into that potato salad and shove a big heaping spoonful of heaven in my mouth. Now that I've tasted it I'm calling all my friends telling them, "Come over to my house Momma made her potato salad, it's incredible, come get some of it for yourself". You see it's important that we know the love of God for ourselves. We can hear about it all day, but until we've discovered it for ourselves we truly don't know. The only way we can spread the gospel is through the love of God. It's the only thing the world cannot attempt to counterfeit, Godly love. Plenty of people believe in something 100% and will try to persuade you to believe like them but it is never done in complete Godly love, because it can't be, the only group of people that have been blessed with the ability to show agape love is the Christians. We're the only ones with that ability and we only love Him because he first loved us, amen. (1 John 4:19 KJV). A major thing separating us from the world is God's love through us, and when we preach the gospel this must be our heart rather than, "I'm right, you're wrong, you're going to Hell, and I'm not". Thats not how Jesus did it and Jesus is the sole expression of God (Hebrews 1:3). For God so LOVED the world that he gave his only begotten son (john 3:16). Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
Romans 8:35-39 (King James Version)
 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ, amen. Nothing the world can say or do, or nothing we can say or do, because God's love is in Christ Jesus, not in our works, but in Christ and his finished work (verse 39). In verse 35 this word love literally means, "The attitude of God towards his son", love not drawn out by any excellency in it's object. Praise God! his love isn't based on anything i have done or can do, it's love not drawn out by my excellency, but by Christs excellency, amen. I get the same love God gives Jesus for nothing at all. God's Love has made us more then conquerors, I don't know about you but being more than a conqueror sounds pretty good. I didn't even have to fight but I get to enjoy all the spoils and riches. In verse 37 this love means, "Love in its perfect participle form". Now that's awesome, God is the only one with perfect love, and it's ours to have, and we can't be separated from it. Man being blessed with the love of God just makes you want to pour it out to the world, amen. God's Love is endless and eternal, and Incredible to discover. I encourage you today to taste and see that the LORD IS GOOD.

WOMEN, Gods Gift To Man

The world we live in today has perverted the image and purpose of a woman. I think our problem with young ladies being so eager to give themselves away and show there bodies off comes from a lack of knowing there value. Everyday Images through the TV, magazines, billboards, on the street, simply out in public, anywhere you look there is a woman in some way or form showing off her body partially clothed. I use to see images like this and think to myself my goodness how dare she what in the world is wrong with her, UNtil I got to thinking Dalton what IN the world is wrong with her? And instead of a spirit of judgement I starting seeing her as someones precious daughter, and even if she was fatherless on earth she Was Gods daughter and LOved just as much as me, she had been deceived into believing that that was her purpose. Today its completely okay to show most of your breast as long as all of it isnt exposed, and precious little girls are singing songs like, "I kissed a girl and I liked it." God bless these young ladies, young women have a desire for attention and seek to find someone who tells them just how beautiful they are, and thats just how God created them, but they twisted beauty into revealing as much as possible and kicking in mans sex drive. beauty is not just being desired sexually, that is a part of marriage between a husband and wife not between a woman and the world. Now I dont believe all girls have conformed to this lifestyle but God bless them I know its being thrown at them constantly and sadly enough most often they get the most attention. But let me make a Bold statement for you young ladies who feel like being a Godly young lady isnt working for you, Hold on dont be deceived by satan its often good to feel as though you dont fit in with the world, there is a young man out there looking for you and when he finds you he'll make you feel like the only woman in the world, and make you feel more desirable then any lustful man ever could. Women you are a gift from God specifically for man. Now this problem is not lustful men or loose women it is straight from Satan, and he uses man, but remember it not Hollywood or magazines it is Satan using these people as instruments, so dont start trying to find the source, cause I can tell you the source, Its from satan, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world (Ephesians 6:12).
            The importance of women is all throughout the bible. Women find out how important you are from your heavenly father and creator he made you, find out your value from him, he knows best. God first created Adam and gave him responsibilty to name all the creatures and tend to the garden and then in Genesis 2:18 God said, ¹⁸Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him[amp]. Do you think God just out of the blue said oh wow I'm missing something I need to create someone for the man? Absoluetely not God knew he would created this woman, However personally I believe that with Eve their, Adam wouldnt have been able to focus on his responsibilities with Eve there+959+66+5*, becuase God made Eve in such a way that immediately Adam desired Eve as a companion and partner in his life and loved her and desired to be with her, it was more sufficient to create her after the work was done.Becuase this chapter then goes on to say, ²¹And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs or a part of his side and closed up the [place with] flesh.
    ²²And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man He built up and made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

WOW I want you to truly take a second go back a meditate these two versus there is a lot of significance in these two scritpures. First of all God didnt create women from dust, he created man from the dust of the earth, but a woman he started from a man, and we see that God caused Adam to falll into a deep sleep, now God created the World in six days, if he wanted to he could have created a woman in a split second. But he didnt he took time on creating a woman, he created her so that she was absolutely perfectly and uniquely beautifully made. Because look at the word here God didnt jus create women it says that he built them. The song isnt to far off, God did spend a little more time on you women, God made you to be a beautiful creature for man. Now if God makes somehting Beautiful it was done right. I believe when Adam saw Eve he saw the picture of Beauty and got butterflies and extremely excited and thought to himself Wow God you outdid yourself this time. Because God hadnt just created a woman and a man in the flesh, but he had planted the desire and the needs and how they each perfectly complemented eachother inside them. There were things that Adam had that Eve needed and there was things that Eve had that Adam needed, she was there for a purpose she wasnt just given to Adam so Adam wouldnt be bored, Adam needed Eve as his lifely companion. The chapter then goes on to say ²³Then Adam said, This [creature] is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of a man.
    ²⁴Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.^(E)

Eve wasnt just created out of dust she was a part of Adam she was made of his bone and flesh, she was already a part of him. The next verse says that a man should leave his mother and father and CLEAVE to his wife. This word cleave is like saying to be glued to one another in a sense of loyalty and in affection. To leave you father and mother doesnt mean to run away, but to be married and Joined to your wife. After it describes the man and the woman in marriage it then goes on to say they shall become one flesh. A man and a woman become one flesh in marriage in sexual intercourse. The problem we see today is too many people have become one flesh with multiple people and completely confusing there spirit. See most poeple think the problem is in the actual action of Sex of a man entering a woman, but this isnt the problem, the problem is that God has created it so that this is a sacred treasure between a Husband and wife and when they give there gift God gave them to many people it is perverting the way God intended. Your spirit becomes confused and starts saying wait this isnt right, then Satan comes in with lies and tells you because of what you have done you are worthless now and you have nothing and you feel nothing but empty, so young ladies go deeper into sexual sin trying to find there place, when there place is with their husband in christ. Young men and women your answer is always Jesus christ the one who knew no sin, and becasme sin so that you may live righteously in him (2COR 5:21). And in jesus Christ you are complete ( COl 2:10) and a new creature (2COR 5:17). Jesus Christ Is LOve (1JOHN 4:8). Hebrews 8:12 says  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and there iniquities will i remember no more. God isnt keeping a tally of all your wrongs. The only score God is keeping on you is That Jesus christ covered it all and through him you and I were made righteous and that is what the father see's. So dont you allow satan to come in and tell you that you messed up for good and ruined your life cause you already gave your gift away. Satan is such a liar, because he that believeth on him is not condemned (john 3:18). You are righteous through Jesus Christ their is no room for condemnation. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). And instead of focusing on all the wrong in your life and how to fix things, Focus on Jesus christ and the fact that nothing is even broken and how awesome it is that sin isnt imputed to you and he has seated you in heavenly places. David was a man after Gods own heart and he commited Adultery. The world isnt over if sexual sin has been in your life, in fact Glory to God its just begun cause your a new creature, a virgin in christ. God will use you in mighty ways. Dont focus on your sin cause thats where all your attention will be, were born into sin. But Jesus Christ set us free from it in Grace and now we have power and authority over this world and sin pulls no leverage with us we are dead to sin (romans 6:2). Now we walk around with the power and righteousness of Jesus Christ. It sounds almost to good to be true. Thats the Gospel.

         

REMEMBER THAT ITS ABOUT JESUS

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the son  of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving From Christ

Thanksgiving is something we see dwindling in today’s world. Kids are no longer thankful for what they have, spouses no longer thankful for one another, people no longer thankful about the way God made them, Girls not thankful for the life inside them, but above all and most importantly people aren’t thankful for what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. Oh sure we’ve all heard that before Christ dying on the cross for us, its so cliché its more a church phrase then a moment in history. But are minds don’t wrap around the Love God displayed at that moment. But God Commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us ( Romans 5:8). We see it as just part of Gods process, he had it all planned he was gonna send Jesus and it had to play out like that it was destined. But Jesus Christ was the son, like I am a son of my earthly father, and he gave up his divine right in heaven willingly to become a man and remain a man, live a sinless life, become sin ( 2 Cor 5:21) be nailed to that cross beaten with our sins upon him undeservingly then defeat Satan in Hell, all because HE is Love ( 1 John 4:8).
Now I’m not getting crazy on anyone and telling them to put down the turkey and mash potatoes and spend the rest of your day praying thanking God for everything. Personally I believe it makes God Happy seeing his children fellowship in laughter and Joy in a Christian Atmosphere sharing with one another and giving. But sadly we live in a world increasing in reasons to be thankful and decreasing in Thankfulness, which makes me question if they really know what it means. Because I know as a man of God I have a lot to be thankful for. Whether you chose to be opened to it or not you do as well. I feel sorry for people who aren’t simply thankful for what they do have but are upset because they don’t have all there worldly hearts desires, obviously God cant see their heart right? Let me tell you a life of unthankfullness leads to empty promises because you will never have enough if your not already Happy with what you do Have. This is just simply your worldly advice that has some wisdom mixed in but were a christian family lets look at what the powerful word of God has to say about Thanksgiving.
As far as I can see the bible mentions Thanksgiving a handful of times, but following Thanksgiving is a handful of reasons that even Mr. scrooge would have to rejoice to. Psalms 95:1-8 says O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.[2] Let us come before his presence with Thanksgiving and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.[3] For the Lord is a great God, and a Great King above all gods. [4] In his hands are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. [5] The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. [6] O come let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the lord our maker. [7] For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, [8]harden not your heart….
Praise God. Thanksgiving is so important today because its so easy to have your heart hardened with the things of this world, we are far more worldly conscious than we are spiritually, in fact were even dumb enough to believe this is REAL life. But when we come to our daddy our father our Lord and King and we enter his presence with Thanksgiving were opening our Hearts and allowing all the Joy of our spirit to flow out of our carnal mouth therefore softening our callused hearts and opening it up to Jesus Christ. Personally I start my praise and worship time with naming off things Im thankful for from my deer on my Wall to the socks on my feet. A bum can be Thankful if he has his heart right, its not based on temporary circumstances that you base your thanksgiving, but rather eternal unchanging covenant with Jesus Christ. Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. That’s you and me we have the righteousness of God that will endure forever, Im on my way to heaven and not only am I on my way Im doing it in style Im going with the righteousness of God, not some lowly sinner saved by Grace.
When You voice while you are Thankful it causes your carnal mouth to voice the greatness of God, Your flesh has no choice but to rejoice in the things of the lord coming straight from your spirit. The reasons to be Thankful are always there but until you recognize them they will have no effect on you.You turn your eyes from the negativity of the world and selfishness of the World to the love and compassion of Jesus Christ and Joy that follows. God is good at all times and he never changes but our perspective of him can. Philippians 4:6-8 says Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Being thankful brings the peace of God into your life, because you recognize just how amazing he truly is. And an amzing God like that is Gonna take care of you no matter what because you’re his child. There’s comfort in having a big Daddy amen. Begin to Thank God for what he has done so you can see what he can do.
Its sad to hear someone say I don’t have to much to be Thankful for because obviously their blind and their hearts are harden because they can see Just how Good God is. A bum can be thankful for his tree and and a billionaire not content with his mansion, it all depends on the heart. Paul said I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Now this isn’t some poverty scripture to have as little as possible but be Thankful for with what you do have. I know I serve a God that supplies all my need according to his riches and Glory so why worry about the state Im in, im Thankful because I know my Lord is supplying my need not me so why shouldn’t I be Thankful for what I do have.
God is no respector of persons and what he has done for one man he will do for all. He really is an awesome God. And today on this Thanksgiving Ill walk around with Joy, Peace and thankfulness in my heart because I serve the King of Kings. There’s plenty to be thankful for if you have eyes to see. Were the Christians were suppose to freak people out at why were so Thankful all the time, and brother we sure do have reason to be. Today im entering his presence with Thanksgiving, because I know what Im thankful for, do you?

GOD IS GOOD GOOD GOOD

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.
