Bible Ballistics: BBs #759 Validated Not Void!!!
Jesus IS the only way to God, eternal life, and abundant life in this world. Yet, we so often slough Him off and go our own way. I would like to share a few thoughts with you about The One who has bought our salvation, provided The Way to restoration with God, and our complete validation as a child of God—not just the creation of God, but a child born again by The Spirit of God.
“He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him,
to them gave he power
to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born,
not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man,
but of God.” John 1:11-13
This is truly the amazing grace of God who loves you and me! But we must come while God is working in us, while HIS voice is calling us to Himself. As God said in Genesis 6, “my spirit shall not always strive with man”! Don’t pass by and ignore the voice of God who gave HIS “only begotten Son” to die in your place and mine; for all who will believe/trust, in HIS substitutionary, atoning sacrifice for SIN will receive new life in JESUS. SIN is the problem—we all have it, we can’t fix it, but Jesus can and will fix it for you if you will but humble yourself, repent of your sin and receive HIS gift of eternal life. Isaiah says it beautifully.
“Seek ye the LORD
while he may be found,
call ye upon him
while he is near:
7 Let the wicked
forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man
his thoughts:
and let him return
unto the LORD,
and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts
are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways
my ways,
saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher
than the earth,
so are my ways higher
than your ways,
and my thoughts
than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain
cometh down,
and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth
and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be
that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return
unto me void,
but it shall accomplish
that which I please,
and it shall prosper
in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:6-11
And if I may make a bit of a tie in, God’s Word, that came forth from HIM IS Jesus!
“Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father,
ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth
and came from
God;
neither came I of myself,
but he sent me.” John 8:42
Jesus IS God, came from God, and is One with The Father, and Is The WORD that comes “forth out of my mouth”, as the Apostle John records for us.
“In the beginning
was the Word,
and the Word
was with God,
and the Word
was God.
2 The same was
in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made
that was made.
4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth
in darkness;
and the darkness
comprehended it not.” John 1:1-5
“I and my Father are one.” John 10:30
The question is, will you choose to receive the ‘light’ and walk in it, or will you continue to walk in the dark and refuse to “comprehend” HIS light! Jesus Himself, made it the clearest of all. May you heed HIS Words?
“For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son
into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world
through him
might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him
is not condemned:
but he that believeth not
is condemned already,
because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten
Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness
rather than light,
because their deeds
were evil.” John 3:16-19
The choice is yours. Darkness and hell, or the Light of Jesus, and heaven! Choose wisely, there is a test!
Amen and Amen!!!
