The Love Story

THE LOVE STORY
Joh 3:16 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.
(KJV)
This Verse SUMS up the salvation Story : A love Story.
It all starts with God’s love.
1Jo 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
(KJV)
GOD’S ESSENCE IS LOVE; HE ALWAYS ACTS IN LOVE
YOU HAVE BECOME PART OF A FAMILY WHOSE CORE VALUE IS LOVE
YOU ARE LOVED MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER UNDERSTAND NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE , WHO YOU ARE , WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND MEASURE
Jer 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. {of…: Heb. from afar} {with lovingkindness…: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee}
(KJV)
YOU WERE CREATED TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
GOD CREATED ADAM AND EVE FOR FELLLOWSHIP AND RELATIONSHIP, BUT THEY LISTENED TO THE ENEMY’S LIES AND CHOSE TO BE LIKE HIM AND INDEPENDENT FROM HIM.
BY AGREEING TO THE ENEMY THE LOST ALL THE GOOD THINGS GOD HAD PLANNED FOR THEM.
GOD’S HEART WAS BROKEN WHEN MAN BROKE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM, BUT ….. HE MADE A WAY THROUGH CHRIST JESUS
JESUS TOOK OUR PLACE ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY AND DIED THE DEATH WE DESERVED.
BEING THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD , DEATH COULD NOT HOLD HIM CAPTIVE ; HE RESSURECTED AND MANY SO HIM ALIVE TEACHING, EATING AND DRINKING
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM
GOD ASKS US TO ONLY BELIEVE
NOT ENOUGH THAT JESUS WAS A GOOD TEACHER, GOOD MORAL EXAMPLE, A HOLY MAN ,
NOT ENOUGH TO SEE HIM AS AMONG THE MANY GODS
JESUS IS FULLY GOD AND FULLY MAN ; A MIRACLE AND A MINISTRY ; MILLIONS OF CHANGED AND TRANSFORMED LIVES ARE EVIDENCE OF THIS REALITY.
HE IS OUR SAVIOUR , LORD AND KING OVER ALL
Re 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
(KJV)
Da 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
(KJV)
Ps 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
(KJV)
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW THIS TRUTH ALONE ; EVEN THE DEVIL AND DEMONS KNOW THIS TRUTH , BUT WE MUST PERSONALLY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR.
WE MUST BE WILLING TO COMMIT OUR LIVES TO HIM
TRUSTING HIM TO BE OUR SAVIOUR , LORD AND KING
WE CAN DO NOTHING TO SAVE OURSELVES ; NO MATTER HOW MUCH GOOD WORKS YOU DO , YOU CAN NOT EARN YOUR WAY INTO GOD’S FAMILY
WE CAN NEVER SATISFY DIVINE JUSTICE , NO MATTER OUR SACRIFICE OR PENANCE , BECAUSE WE ARE MERELY HUMAN.
GOD ACCOMPLISHED OUR REDEMTION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST , WE COULD NOT DO IT ON OUR OWN.
HE HAS PAID FOR OUR SINS AND ADOPTED US INTO HIS FAMILY. SENT THE HOLYSPIRIT TO LIVE IN OUR HEARTS ; HE HAS PROVIDED ALL WE NEED TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE ; PROVIDED AN ETERNAL HOME FOR US WHERE WE WILL LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER ; HE IS OUR SAVIOUR
GOD HAS DONE HIS PART AND CLEANSED US FROM OUR SINS AND MADE US NEW CREATURES ; BUT SOMETIMES WE ARE TEMPTED AND FALL INTO SIN And our OLD NATURE
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE FALL?
REMEMBER THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND THAT HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR
DO NOT TRY TO WORK YOUR WAY INTO HIS PRESENCE BY BEING EXTRA GOOD
DO NOT TRY TO HIDE FROM HIM IN SHAME OR EMBARASMENT , BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAILED TO LIVE THE WAY YOU THINK HE EXPECTS YOU TO.
DO NOT WITHDRAW FROM HIM IN GUILT ,BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE AND WEAKNESS
Ps 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.
(ASV)

1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(ASV)
AS SOON AS YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SINNED RUN TO HIM FOR FORGIVENESS AND CLEANSING
THE SAME POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT GAVE YOU SALVATION ; IS THE SAME POWER THAT WILL KEEP YOU CLEAN , HOLY ,AND SANCTIFIED. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE A DEFEATED CHRISTIAN LIFE IN SIN,GUILT AND SHAME.
NOT JUST SAVIOUR ,BUT LORD
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE JESUS SAVIOUR , BUT YOU MUST ALSO RECOGNIZE HIM AS LORD.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
(ASV)
MEANING OF THE NAME LORD :- One who has authority ,power , control over others, such as a monarch , master , ruler.
ON the contrary todays society values : individualism, independence and democracy.
Believing Jesus as your Lord means you make him your Lord, master and King.
Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
(ASV)
His will becomes your will.
You live only please and obey Him.
You give Jesus Christ the right to control and direct your life
You actively ask for His direction and wisdom.
You find out what He wants you to do , then you do it faithfully.
You submit yourself to His AUTHORITY and you do not insist on doing things your own way.
It is safe to surrender your will to Him, remember ,He is the all knowing all powerful God .
He know the end from the beginning.
Isa 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
(ASV)
GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE AN EXTRA ORDINARY LIFE FULL OF JOY, PEACE, LOVE, YOU CAN TRUST HIM WITH YOUR FUTURE
IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM AND OBEY HIM , HE WILL LEAD YOU TO A LIFE FULL OF HOPE , ABUNDANCE, MORE BLESSED
IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE YOU MAKE HIM LORD IN YOUR LIFE HE BECOMES YOUR SAVIOUR AND BRINGS IN GREAT DELIVERANCE.
IN THE SCRIPTURE JESUS IS REFERED TO AS LORD AND SAVIOUR NOT SAVIOUR AND LORD. HIS LORDSHIP COMES FIRST.
HE IS SAVIOUR OF YOUR FINANCES AFTER HE IS LORD OVER YOUR FINANCES
HE IS SAVIOUR OVER YOUR HEALTH AFTER HE IS LORD OVER YOUR BODY
WHEN YOU SUBMIT TO HIM AS KING , YOU ENTER INTO HIS KINGDOM AND OPERATE AT A HIGHER LEVEL THAN THE EARTHLY KINGDOMS.
