In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. The same was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (Joh 1:1-5)
He is our Creator GOD, who spoke the worlds into being, and formed us of the dust of the earth. We rebelled against Him, and yet He loves us, and showed us through His death, burial and resurrection according to the Scriptures. That is the Good News, that despite our being dead in trespasses and sins, and to pay our sIn debt that we cannot pay ourselves, for all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, we can be reconciled to GOD through Jesus Christ. The power of Salvation and the work of the Holy Spirit to make all things new, can be received by faith, our faith in Him, and His faith in the Father.
For those who have received Him, we work out our Salvation, not to earn it, for we already have it, but to demonstrate our position in Christ to others, and share His love, mercy, and grace to this lost and dying world, that all may be saved. We minister to those who are hurting, as His ambassadors, that they may see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We disciple one another, so that we may grow in Him and in His Word, and in the knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and may love one another as His disciples. We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who will hear, and as we go, share Him with every one so that those who believe and repent may have life and have it more abundantly in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
