“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. {17} For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17
"So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished." - EZRA 5:16
JESUS GREETINGS To All,
Let's get right to it, folks. Life has many hurdles and bumps along the way. Some of these hiccups can make our faith seem uncertain as we attempt to discern what our LORD AND GOD JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, is doing in our lives as HIS Blessed Christian Children. With this in mind it is imperative for us to realize that everything ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD Allows within the spectrum of our lives, is ultimately for HIS GLORY, not ours.
Following the Dictates of the HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE HOLY BIBLE, we understand that as "born again {SAINT JOHN 3:3-6} believers in JESUS CHRIST, we have a privileged mandate to focus our attention on the LOVE OF and For our GOD, THE SON OF GOD {1 JOHN 5:10}, CHRIST JESUS, as well as our loving of our neighbor as ourselves {SAINT LUKE 10:27}. With this CHRIST-Kind-Of Love in the peripheral of our vision, we can accomplish great things for the KINGDOM OF GOD and of HEAVEN, thus showing forth to the world the RESURRECTED KING of Kings, and LORD of Lords {1 TIMOTHY 6:15REVELATION 19:16}, ensuring that we bear much fruit as the followers of JESUS CHRIST, in our garnering more souls for ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD'S Kingdom, thereby as mentioned above, bringing GLORY TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. Amen.
Throughout our lives, and our learning to walk by faith and not by sight {2 CORINTHIANS 5:7}, we have to ensure that we are not overcome by the adversarial happenings or circumstances that ALMIGHTY JESUS our GOD ALLOWS to come our way. Let's face it, this narrow road, leading unto the hope of our Salvation {ISAIAH 33:2, 1 THESSALONIANS 5:8} is at times gravely difficult. However, we must take heart. {PSALM 27:14 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version} CHRIST JESUS Has OVERCOME death, hell, the grave, and satan. We need not worry or fear in this process called life. Whenever something adversarial came upon us or others my beloved Daddy would always say "...that's life!". How true is this statement!
In today's foundational SCRIPTURE, we see THE LOVE AND STRENGTH of ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, Strengthening our Israeli Brethren to build the house of GOD again on it's "original site {EZRA 5:15 - Study Bible Version}." we see in Ezra 5:16 as one translation details that it is a "process" in order that the House of God would be finished. The entire building was not complete but in the process the foundation of the House of God was laid. This is a truth that is also evident in our lives, as well.
When we first placed our faith in CHRIST JESUS'S PRECIOUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION unto our receiving and attaining to ETERNAL LIFE, we are "already" made perfect {PHILIPPIANS 3:12}, nor will we be perfect in this life. Many a times when the HOLY BIBLE talks about our being perfect, it is dealing with our being mature. By faith, our being rooted and grounded in love {EPHESIANS 3:17} is a sign of spiritual maturity. Thank YOU JESUS! CHRIST JESUS, Alone, knows all it's going to take for us to become the vessels fit for HIS Use {2 TIMOTHY 2:21}. HE, ALONE, Is our LORD, GOD, and MASTER. Remember, THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST {ALSO KNOWN AS THE HOLY SPIRIT} ARE "One Lord, one faith, one baptism {EPHESIANS 4:5}."
Our BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER, HIMSELF, KNOWS What it is going to take to be conformed to the image of CHRIST JESUS, HIS SON {ROMANS 8:29}. This comforts us in our affliction {2 CORINTHIANS 1:4}, simply because we know that we do not have to mature or simply "grow up" in our faith walk by ourselves. The BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH I love, Will Lead and Guide us {SAINT JOHN 16:13} unto this ETERNAL Perfection, whereby we need not worry, but through CHRIST JESUS, we daily persevere {REVELATION 14:12 - New American Standard Bible}.Remember, JESUS CHRIST Commanded us who believe on HIM to deny ourselves, take up our Crosses, and to follow HIM {SAINT MATTHEW 6:24}. When we go through this uncomfortable process, it is not to hurt or harm us, but rather to prosper {JEREMIAH 29:11} our Love and Faith walk. Nothings too hard for ALMIGHTY GOD {GENESIS 18:14}! As we continue to maintain a good attitude in the daily stresses of our day, we will come to the KNOWLEDGE of THE INFINITE LOVE OF our LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST, while maintaining the posture of holiness, for without holiness shall no man see the Lord {HEBREWS 12:14}. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}."
THE SALVATION MANDATE
(Be Confident In This)
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17
for "All who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." - The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans Chapter 10 Verse 13 - {JESUS, YOU ARE Our LORD AND GOD - SAINT JOHN 20:28}.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - The Epistle {Letter} of Paul the Apostle to the Romans 10:9
