Hell is naked before Him, and destruction hath no covering. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. The pillars of Heaven tremble and are astonished at His reproof. He divideth the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through the proud. By His Spirit He hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the crooked serpent. (Job 26:6-13)
Our sin is exposed for the darkness it is, our transgressions are as visible as the noonday, and our iniquity is ever before us, but our GOD is Just and merciful. He forgives those that repent and turn from their wicked ways through His Son and chastises and corrects those that are His. Those that acknowledge their sin for what it costs Him and and repent, trusting in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for His great Salvation are born again and made new creatures in Him. We are free, from sin and death, from the curse of the Law, not to sin all we want to, but to live in Him the life we were meant to live. We are now His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus who is our life, to do His will and accomplish His work in this lost and dying world while He conforms us to His image.
Our GOD saves sinners, not for our glory, but for His, and that His people might do those things He has called, commanded, and commissioned us to do. Our Lord has called His children to service, to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need with those things they have need of, and with the Word of righteousness and reconciliation, rightly divided and fitly spoken, as GOD provides. GOD has commanded us to love one another as members one of another in the family of GOD and to disciple one another in the Word of GOD that we may be equipped for the work of GOD as we become more like Him and grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He has commissioned all who are His to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells within to this lost and dying world, and as we go where He sends that we proclaim the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father to those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, that in believing they might have 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, forgiveness from GOD, 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,
