The book of John is written to expose "the deity"of Jesus Christ (a.k.a Jesus is God himself). John was an "eye witness" to all the actions, thoughts, discussions, and miracles that Jesus performed during his ministry. John saw it all. John saw people born blind given sight. John saw Jesus calm storms, walk on water, feed 15,ooo people with 5 loaves and two fish. He witnessed thousands of miracles, acts of compassion, and a love he had never seen before in his life. John saw Jesus die on the cross and he witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He saw Jesus rise from the dead, live 40 more days on earth, and even saw Jesus ascending into heaven.
John spent everyday with Jesus for 3 1/2 years; he knew Jesus intimately, he saw it all. He knew Jesus was God. Jesus not only showed John proof but Jesus even told them himself. John believed Jesus was God so much, he was even boiled alive for his testimony and belief ... The beginning of his testimony starts out like this:
"In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning (Jesus). Through him (Jesus) all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men." [John1:1-4]
Jesus was the firstborn of all creation. He was with you when you came into this world and he'll be by your side on the day you ship out. God made you to love you and to make you a member of his eternal family. Yet, God doesn't have favorites ... as you can see that all people receive the benefits of his love. The sun shines on believers and non believers a like ... he doesn't withhold his love for only a few but freely pours it out to all. To extend the love the Lord has given us, today, will be determined by two things: Our Faith (belief in Him/ Jesus) and our love.
Jesus died for the sins of the world. But only those who receive him, to those who believe in his name, will He give the right to be adopted into Gods eternal family as Children of God (John 1:27). All He requires of us is our Faith and our Love in his Son Jesus Christ. God is like a triangle ... 3 separate sides ... yet one triangle. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit (living within believers). Today's the day to experience the "life" God had designed you for; fullness of life in Him through Jesus Christ. I pray that you may receive the love that is rightfully yours, and that it may be with you for all eternity. Your not alone ... activate the love of God in your life, that is found only by Faith in Jesus Christ ... and begin your eternal life today. I'm so thankful for this love and life I never knew existed. :) God bless you!
How much time do you have left? The only way, truth and life is in Jesus Christ. No one goes to heaven except through him? He said it ... not me. (John 14:6)
Placing Faith in Jesus Christ = (1) admit you've sinned at least once (2). repent (3) place your faith in Jesus as your "personal Savior" (4) make the choice to love God and welcome his love into your life and heart. *any questions ask me* Take the love that rightfully yours. Heaven.*
