Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the Name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He. (Deut. 32:1-4)
As Moses prepared to leave this earth, having handed the over the leadership of Israel unto Joshua, he worshiped God and praised the LORD who had created him, delivered him from Egypt, redeemed him from sin, and would now usher him into His presence. He extolled the Name of the Lord and all His ways. Even His judgments are just and all His ways are true and right. His love is perfect, casting out all fear. He is the Rock of Salvation, the strong tower of protection and provision, our great God is Creator, Redeemer, and King.
We praise the Father who sent His Son to pay the penalty for sin and reconcile us to Himself. We praise the Son of God who is God the Son who put on flesh and went to the cross willingly for our sins. We praise the Spirit who indwells those who are His and empowers us to do His will. We praise our God who loved us and gave Himself for us. Our Rock on whom the Church is built, our foundation who revealed Himself in His Word, our Saviour who purchased us with His own blood. We praise our God who alone is God and who has given all judgment unto His Son. The Father who is over all. We praise our God who guides us into all Truth, who convicts of sin and of righteousness, who moves us to do the work of God. The Spirit of God who calls all who are not born again unto repentance and eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. The Word made flesh who put to death the flesh that we might have life and have it more abundantly. The Father who received the sacrifice of the Son and was satisfied and offers forgiveness to whosoever will receive Him by faith through grace.
While we are here, God has sent those who are His and know Him out into this world to reach the lost that they might be saved from sin. He desires that His people strive to be holy and obedient unto Him that we might minister to those around us who are hurting and in need as He provides. We serve others, equipped with the Word of reconciliation and righteousness, rightly divided and fitly spoken, that they may see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. Our God has commanded us to love one another with an unfeigned love, even as He first loved us, and to disciple one another in the Word of God so that we may all grow in grace and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Our Lord has commissioned those who are His with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to go where He sends us in the power of the Holy Spirit. As we go, we are to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His Son, that those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah of God might have life in His Name.
God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should 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 faith in Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary 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,
