IT IS BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE ALMIGHTY GOD ALLOWED OUR LORD & SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS TO LEAVE HEAVEN. THEN BECOME ADORNED WITHIN A SINLESS EARTH BODY, BORN OF A WOMAN. HE LIVED A SINLESS LIFE, HEALED, DELIVERED, FED, SAVED AND SET FREE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE… JESUS MIRACULOUSLY AND MAGNIFICENTLY OVERCAME SIN, DEATH & THE GRAVE AS WELL AS THE POWERS & PRINCIPALITIES THAT BE.
“…FOR IT IS BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS, ALL THINGS WERE CREATED, BY AND FOR HIM:
AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND BY HIM, ALL THINGS CONSIST.
AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH: WHO IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD; THAT IN ALL THINGS HE MIGHT HAVE THE PREEMINENCE.
FOR IT PLEASED THE FATHER THAT IN HIM SHOULD ALL THE FULLNESS DWELL…” COLOSSIANS 1
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, FOR HE IS THE PRECIOUS LAMB OF GOD, WHO SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR US AND THE SINS OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. YET, HE WAS MISTREATED, BEATEN, CRUCIFIED UPON THE CROSS, DIED & WAS BURIED IN A BORROWED TOMB. AND THEN AFTER (3) THREE DAYS HE AROSE WITH ALL POWER!!! ALL BECAUSE OF GOD’S LOVE FOR US!!!
TRUE BELIEVERS CAN SAY, “I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED!”
“…FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS, WHOM GOD SET FORTH AS A PROPITIATION…” ROMANS 3
THEREFORE, WE ALL NEED CHRIST JESUS AS OUR LORD & SAVIOR!!! ABBA HEAVENLY HOLY FATHER THANK YOU FOR YOUR MARVELOUS OMNIPRESENCE!!!
KNOW THIS; GOD’S LOVE NEVER FAILS!!! THEREFORE, WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD WE CAN OVERCOME evil WITH GOOD!!!
TRUE BELIEVERS CAN SAY, “I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED!”
KNOW THIS; GOD IS ALSO A GOD OF WRATH!!!
Nineveh was the capital of the ancient powerful Assyrian Empire. They were known for their brutality, disrespectfulness, carnality, cruelty and violence.
Jonah was called by God. He was sent to the city of Nineveh by GOD. Jonah means “Dove!” He was to preach to them. Jonah did not want to go to Nineveh. So, he instead tried to flee to Joppa aboard a ship. But the Lord sent a great wind that caused a furious tempestuous storm upon the sea. Jonah knew he was the cause. The mariners on board finally threw Jonah overboard at his request. God had prepared a “Great Fish” that swallowed up Jonah. He was in the belly of the fish for (3) three days. Jonah fervently prayed in the belly of the Great Fish. The Great Fish finally spit Jonah out on dry land. He then reluctantly went to the great city of Nineveh after traveling (3) three days. Jonah preached to the inhabitants as well as to the King of Nineveh telling them to REPENT! He told them frankly if they did not REPENT they would be overthrown after (40) forty days. Well the King as well as the people of Nineveh believed Jonah’s message from GOD. He then proclaimed a fast and along with the people he too put on sackcloth, cried out to GOD and they repented. (See details in the Book of Jonah)
But years later again Nineveh backslide and once again returned to their old ways. It is in the Book of Nahum where it records the final destruction of Nineveh.
“GOD IS JEALOUS, AND THE LORD REVENGETH, AND IS FURIOUS; THE LORD WILL TAKE VENGEANCE ON HIS ADVERSARIES AND HE RESERVETH WRATH ON HIS ENEMIES.
THE LORD IS SLOW TO ANGER, AND GREAT IN POWER, AND WILL NOT acquit the wicked…” NAHUM 1 (See the details in the Book of Nahum)
CHRIST JESUS WAS GOD’S LOVE MANIFESTED IN SINLESS FLESH!!!
“…HE SENT HIS SON TO BE THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS.” I JOHN 4
ABBA FATHER GOD, WE ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS THE KING OF Kings & THE LORD OF Lords. YOU ARE THE ALPHA & THE OMEGA, THE BEGINNING & THE END, THE FIRST AND THE LAST. ABOVE YOU THERE IS NO OTHER. FOR YOU LORD GOD ARE THE GREAT; “I AM!” THEREFORE, WE DAILY RISE TO BLESS, HONOR, THANK & PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME!
MANY CONFUSE GOD’S LOVE WITH; This world’s “Intoxicating Affections!” It is not the same.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. FOR THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH WAS OFTEN QUITE CARNAL & CONFUSED ABOUT MANY THINGS. AS WELL AS HOW THEY WORSHIPPED. IT IS HERE IN CORINTHIANS THAT OUR LORD DEFINES AND MAKES CLEAR THE ATTRIBUTES OF HIS LOVE IN HIS WORD!
YOU CANNOT PLEASE BOTH GOD & Man/Woman…
HALLLELLLUJAH THANK YOU LORD!!! I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED!!!
IT IS WRITTEN:
“…AND THOUGH I BESTOW ALL MY GOODS TO FEED THE POOR, AND THOUGH I GIVE MY BODY TO BE BURNED, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, IT PROFITS NOTHING.
LOVE SUFFERS LONG AND IS KIND; LOVE DOES NOT ENVY; LOVE DOES NOT PARADE ITSELF, IS NOT PUFFED UP: DOES NOT BEHAVE RUDELY, DOES NOT SEEK ITS OWN, IS NOT PROVOKED, THINKS NO evil; DOES NOT REJOICE IN iniquity; BUT REJOICES IN TRUTH; BEARS ALL THING,. HOPES ALL THINGS, ENDURES ALL THINGS. LOVE NEVER FAILS …” I CORINTHIANS 13 ~ REMEMBER THIS IS HOW GOD DEFINES HIS LOVE!
GOD’S LOVE IS ETERNAL
TRUE BELIEVERS CAN SAY, “I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED”
~ YES LORD!!! WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD!!!
WE ARE TO DAILY STRIVE & THRIVE TO LIVE EVERYDAY; “TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!”
CHRIST JESUS MANIFESTED GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE WORLD
“WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH!”
GOD ALWAYS KNOWS THE TRUTH!
GOD ALSO KNOWS WHEN OR IF WE TRULY BELIEVE IN HIM!
“HAVE FAITH IN GOD!”
SALVATION IS A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD!
JESUS ATONED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
WE WHO BELIEVE HAVE BEEN REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
“I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!”
“HAVE FAITH IN GOD”
GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES.
WE CAN ALWAYS & FOREVER TRUST GOD.
KNOW THIS; WITHOUT FAITH YOU CANNOT PLEASE GOD!
WE HAVE FAITH IN GOD THROUGH OUR LORD & SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS!
GOD WILL BE WITH US WHEREVER & WHENEVER WE “GO YE THEREFORE…”
YES LORD!!!
WE DAILY SERVE THE KING OF KING & THE LORD OF Lords!
HE IS THE ALPHA & THE OMEGA, THE FIRST & THE LAST, THE BEGINNING & THE END.

THE PERILOUS DAYS ARE UPON US!
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE IN GOD!!!
TRUST GOD IN & FOR EVERYTHING!
GOD CAN AND WILL KEEP YOU UPON THE NARROW PATH THAT LEADS TO HIM!
NO NEED TO BE ENVIOUS OR JEALOUS. FOR GOD ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN.
ABBA FATHER GOD IS SOVEREIGN!!!
GOD IS ALMIGHTY SOVEREIGN GOD AND ABOVE HIM THERE IS NO OTHER YOU CANNOT BARGAIN WITH, BUY, OR BRIBE, NOR MISLEAD GOD LIKE HE IS A Man/Woman. FOR OUR GOD IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT & OMNIPRESENT!!!
HERE WE CAN LEARN A VERY IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON
“BY PATIENCE POSSESS YE YOUR SOUL!”
WE ARE TO WILLINGLY SUBMIT TO GOD’ S WILL AND FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS IF WE DESIRE A FAVORABLE OUTCOME. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW THINGS APPEAR TO OTHERS. KEEP IN MIND GOD ALWAYS KNOWS THE WHOLE TRUTH FOR HE IS TRUTH!
JEHOSOPHAT KING OF JUDAH TOLD THE PRIESTS, JUDGES, LEVITES & PEOPLE TO CONSIDER WHATEVER THEY DO & LET THE FEAR OF THE LORD BE UPON THEM. HE KNEW & CONFIRMED THIS AS WELL AND GAVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS;
“YOU MUST SERVE FAITHFULLY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD. IN EVERY CASE THAT COMES BEFORE YOU FROM YOUR FELLOWCOUNTRY MEN WHO LIVES IN YOUR CITIES WHETHER BLOODSHED OR OTHER CONCERNS OF THE LAW, COMMANDS DECREES OR ORDINANCES ~ YOU ARE TO WARN THEM NOT TO SIN AGAINST THE LORD OTHERWISE THE WRATH SHALL COME AGAINST YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS. DO THIS, AND DO NOT SIN…” II CHRONICLES 19
IT IS WRITTEN:
“THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES FROM GOD COMES THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO ALL WHO BELIEVE. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD AND ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
GOD PRESENTED HIM AS A SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD. HE DID THIS TO DEMONSTRATE HIS JUSTICE, BECAUSE OF HIS FORBEARANCE HE HAD LEFT THE SINS COMMITTED BEFOREHAND UNPUNISHED. ~ HE DID IT TO DEMONSTRATE HIS JUSTICE AT PRESENT TIME, SO AS TO BE JUST AND THE ONE WHO JUSTIFIES THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS.” ROMANS 3
GOD SAYS; REPENT!!!
WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW.
CHRIST JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW.
WE ARE SAVED BY GOD’S GRACE AND JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.
IN EVERY AND ANY SITUATION WE CAN TRUST GOD TO BE GOD.
“TO DECLARE, I SAY, AT THIS TIME HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; THAT HE MIGHT BE JUST, AND THE JUSTIFIER OF Him/Her WHICH BELIEVETH IN JESUS. WHERE IS BOASTING THEN? IT IS EXCLUDED. BY WHAT LAW? OF WORKS? NAY; BUT BY THE LAW OF FAITH.
THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A Man/Woman IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF HE LAW.” ROMANS 3
DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE? KNOW GOD AND HIS WORD FOR YOURSELF!
“AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.”
AGAIN I WILL SAY;
KNOW GOD AND HIS WORD FOR YOURSELF!
“THANK YOU HALLLELLLUJAH!!!”
REMEMBER WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN OUR LORD & SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS! WE SERVE THE OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT SOVEREIGN ALMIGHTY GOD.
WITHOUT CHRIST JESUS WE HAVE NO RIGHTEOUSNESS OF OUR OWN. BY HAVING FAITH AND BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS GOD HIMSELF IMPUTED HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO US.
Should have been my footsteps
Trailing to Calvary
Should have been me instead of you
But you went any way
Now it seems as if my own hands
Were two of the hands that killed this man
Now every time I think of doing wrong
I think of His nail scarred hands
Now here was a man that knew no sin
There I was sin to the core
He didn’t care where I had been
He loved me anyway
Then he stretched out his sweet hands
Then he died for all the sins of the world
Now every time I think of doing wrong
I think of His nail scarred hands
Nail scarred hands
Nail scarred hands
Every time I feel like I just can’t win
I think of his nail scarred hands
Nail scarred hands
Every time I feel like I can’t go on
I think of his nail scarred hands
Now every time I feel like giving up
I think of His nail scarred hands
Should have been me suffering
Wondering where all my friends had gone
Hanging there all alone, Hanging all day long
Even your Father had to look away
Cause you were carrying all the sins of the world
Now every time I think of doing wrong
I think of his nail scarred hands
Nail scarred hands
Nail scarred hands
Every time I feel like I just can’t win
I think of his nail scarred hands
Nail scarred hands
Every time I feel like I can’t go on
I think of his nail scarred hands
Now every time I feel like giving up
I think of His nail scarred hands
