Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and GOD is glorified in Him. If GOD be glorified in Him, GOD shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall straightway glorify Him. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek Me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. A new Commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another. (Joh 13:31-35)
Though betrayed by one of His own, Jesus was glorified in all that He did in obedience to the Father and for us. His payment of our sins on the Cross provides the only way to be reconciled with the Father, for He is the way. Though we do not go to the Father now, those in Christ by faith and repentance are one relationally with the Father through the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, which cleanses us from all sIn, and when He returns for His own, we will be with Him where He is. He is the GOD of our Salvation.
GOD commands us to love one another, to love GOD completely and with all our being, and love our neighbors as ourselves. GOD is love, and we who know Him are to love others as He loved us. We represent Him and His Kingdom while we are here, and are to express His love, mercy and grace to all we encounter, that all may know we are His disciples. We are to love through missions and ministry, discipleship, and above all evangelism, for Christ came to seek and to save the lost.
GOD has called His own, the members of His body, the Church, to minister in His Name to those around us who are hurting and in need. GOD has commanded us, His disciples, to love one another and disciple one another in His Word that we may grow thereby. GOD has commissioned us, His witnesses, to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all who will hear the Gospel from His Word, that those who repent and believe in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary 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 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,
