'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him' (John 3:36).
John the Baptist was the forerunner for Christ and bore witness that He was the Son of God, who takes away the sins of the world. All who believe on Him, as the Son of God that came to save sinners, and accept His gift of salvation by faith, would not perish but have eternal life. Jesus has all power and authority given to him by the Father, to grant everlasting life to all who believe. We all have that choice to accept Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, and the teachings of the gospel of grace; or to reject Him and all He stands for. For those who choose to reject and believe not that He is the Son of God, the wrath of God abides on him. We who believe in Jesus, must obey Him because they both go together. That is, if you believe, then you will obey. It is by faith in Jesus that we believe He is the Son of God, then by our actions we become obedient. It is God who then works in our hearts, through the power of the Holy Spirit to sanctify and mature us in the likeness of Christ. It is very important to take the wrath of God seriously, for it is real and righteous. For those who disobey God by rejecting His Son, will experience His wrath. It is Jesus who absorbs and took our punishment at the Cross, so when we believe and accept Him we won't experience the second death at His coming, but will have everlasting life. Those who makes excuse in the way of salvation, being indifference to the Gospel of Christ, full of pride and love sin will be excluded from heaven. We must see that what the world is offering, cannot ever compare to what God offers us. He is willing to bless us with His peace, His holiness and joy of immortal life. We just need to believe in His Son, as the one who is our Savior from sin. Today my brothers and sisters, friends and family; let us believe and accept Jesus, the Son of God and choose life and be with Jesus for ever.
Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
