"For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.17For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him (John 3:16-17).The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows] (John 10:10).
Jesus Is a Covenant Keeper
God sent His only begotten Son [Jesus] to pardon our sins; whosoever will believe (John 3:16). His covenant promises, those who believe in Jesus, Eternal Life. The Devil does not want us to inherit the promise. Because of one man's [Adam] sin against God's very first commandment (Genesis 2:15-17), we all have anger, greed, lust, and envy that secretly dwells in our hearts, and are sinners at birth (Genesis 3:6-13). Thankfully, God made amends for this sin when He made new clothing for them, which typified Jesus' Blood shed; sacrificial lamb (Genesis 3:21). Apart from the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22). So, by this One man, Jesus, Blood shed on the Cross, we may have Eternal Life. Jesus conquered sin and death on the Cross. He is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25). As long as we continue to believe in Him, we shall overcome. Yes, we will have trials and tribulations, but if we will believe, and remain in the Vine, God will keep safe, heal, and redeem through Jesus Christ (John 15:1-17). Jesus said, "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but that I [give new life and] raise it up at the last day (John 6:38-39).
Prayer
Lord, help us not to be afraid of what our eyes are seeing. Give us renewed strength to come boldly to your throne of Grace to seek what only You can provide. May you have Mercy on us. Forgive us Lord for not always walking by Faith. Hear our prayers Oh God; the ones we cannot udder, the ones that Your Holy Spirit understands and interprets for us. Your Word says, '...If [You] God is for us, who is against us? (Romans 8:31). Help our unbelief Oh God. Remind us Lord where You bought us from, and how far. Some of us should have been dead Oh God, but for Your Grace, Mercy, and Name's sake we are still here and covered by your covenant. Thank You Lord for your faithfulness and long suffering bringing us out of darkness and the shadow of death into Your Marvelous Light. Thank You Lord for being wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities; and allowing the chastisement of our peace be upon You; which by Your stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5). May we forever praise Your Holy Name Jesus, the Name above all names Amen!
Whatever your past, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior over your life, by Faith, and you will be forgiven, redeemed, healed, and set free
