Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My Saying, he shall never see death. Then said the Jews unto Him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour myself, My honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of whom ye say, that He is your GOD: Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I should say, I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him, and keep His Saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. (Joh 8:51-59)
The Word of GOD, when mixed with faith that cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD, leads to life. Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, who was from the beginning, who spoke all the worlds into being by the Word of His power, is the Word made flesh, which dwelt among us, always doing the work and will of the Father. He testified to these unbelieving Jewish religious 'authorities' who had rejected His righteousness and Law for their own self-righteousness and tradition, and rejected their unrighteous religion. He calls all to repent of their sIn and to believe, receiving Him by faith, for forgiveness and reconciliation with GOD.
He came that all may have life and that they might have it more abundantly, but those that receive it must do so by faith, and in repentance and surrender to Him on His terms that they may be born again. The great I AM, Jehovah Joshua, the GOD who Saves, became a man and offered Himself in our place, to pay our sIn debt, and provide us the only way to the Father. Our sIn separates us from GOD, but GOD commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, the just for the unjust that He might bring us to GOD. GOD in the flesh, put to death the flesh, but was quickened by the Spirit, that we should live in Him and in His righteousness being reconciled to the Father through Him and Him alone.
We are reconciled that we might serve Him, and do His will and work here in this sinful and broken world. We are to minister, as His ambassadors, to those around us who are hurting and in need. We are called as His ministers of reconciliation to represent the Kingdom of GOD, unspotted from this present world. We are commanded to love one another as Christ loves us, that all may know we are His disciples. We are commissioned by our Lord, who has all authority, to go and tell the Good News, and as we go, proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that those who hear and believe may repent and by faith, receive eternal life 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,
