Truth and Love

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, He is also the Savior of all those that have been born again.  Jesus gave His life; a ransom for all that would receive Him as their Lord because He is love.  He is not willing that any be lost but that all will come to repentance.  Jesus didn’t come as a man just to shed His blood for the righteous, but for the unrighteous also.  Jesus was the God man, fully human and fully God.  Because of His love, He laid down His life for the lost voluntarily, no one took His life, He willingly shed His blood knowing that no other sacrifice would be good enough to purify sin.  Jesus’ blood totally cleanses believer’s sins and breaks its hold on their lives and their sins are remembered no more.  That is how the Lord demonstrated His unconditional love for us, praise His name.  

The Lord spoke of this to Israel, because of their religious pretense and their sinful ways, in Isaiah 1:18 which says, “‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the Lord, ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.’”

It also says this in Psalms 103:1-14, David’s Psalm:

“Bless the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord executes righteousness

And justice for all who are oppressed.

He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the children of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

He will not always strive with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children,

So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

For He knows our frame;

He remembers that we are dust.”

This Psalm is a universal call to praise God for personal blessings, national blessings, His forgiving love and His eternal love.  If you are reading this and are seeking real genuine truth and genuine unconditional love, look no further, it is found in the Savior Jesus Christ.  I challenge you to read the Word of God starting with the book of John with an open mind, without any preconceived ideas, letting the Lord speak to your heart through His Word.  I believe you will believe that His word is true before you get to the book of Revelations.

There are many people who say that God doesn’t exist and the Bible isn’t true, without even reading it.  Jesus said this to the Jews that believed on Him in John 8:31-32, “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’”

I believe if you do what I said and read the Word, you will also know the truth and you will be set free.  And if Jesus sets you free you will be free indeed.  Something to think about!  May the Lord bless you and yours and may you have a super day!!
