The unconditional Love of God for you

     God’s love for you is unconditional, eternal and perfect. He’s not going to love you more when you get to heaven than He already does today. The Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8.  Consequently, there’s nothing you could do today, having been born again, that will make God love you more or less, for His love for you is perfect, and you can’t improve on perfect.

  Why am I sharing this with you today? It’s so you can have faith and confidence in the father’s unconditional love for you.  He didn’t love you because you were so holy and never did anything wrong; He loves you because that’s His nature! When you’re conscious and confident of the Father’s love for you, your faith will be more productive, for faith works by love Galatians 5:6. More so, there’s no fear in love, for perfect love casts out fear 1John 4:18.

  When some Christians make mistakes they find it difficult to accept that God would forgive them. So even after asking for forgiveness, out of ignorance, they think God still holds their sin against them, and as a result, some have lost faith and have even stopped going to church altogether. If you’re in such a situation you need to understand who god is; He is not a man, and doesn’t count your sins against you because He loves you unconditionally.

  Think about it: if God so loved you while you were yet a sinner, and sent Jesus to die for you, how much more will he shower His love on you now that you’ve received abundance of grace and His wonderful gift of righteousness Romans 5:17? Therefore, instead of wishing something wrong, just receive His forgiveness and continue in your journey of faith! 1 John 1:9says, “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

  You need to understand how God deals with His children when they make mistakes. A man might impose strict penalties on an offender, but God totally blots out all records of your wrongs when you receive His forgiveness Isaiah 1:18. He holds nothing against you. In fact, to Him, you never did anything wrong; you’re as perfect as Jesus is because your righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
