God in Christ Loved Us - PART 207

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Indeed, he or she that endeavours to come to God, must first of all believe that God exists, and that He is the rewarder of all them who diligently seek Him. The question that emerges is this. How can they believe in Him if they have not heard the gospel?

Admittedly, there are those who would suggest there is no God but in many examples, this type of commentary is simply someone displaying their ignorance. For surely the heavens declare God’s glory and the earth shows forth His remarkable handiwork. Likewise, the unwritten laws of nature -- have they not declared the un-changeability of His nature as well? Surely, nature is in harmony with nature. Perhaps, we need to ask in whose womb we enjoy our life?

Still, what we need to remember is that God is much more than laws. God’s ways require more than our span of life to even touch the fringes of His eternal power -- His Godhead. Remember we are housed in a shell that is comprised of nothing more than sixteen buckets of water and a bucket of earth. And while we are so much more in terms of our spirits, our bodies will return to dust.
Even wen man cuts us open and attempt to declare that they have never found a spirit, its because their expertise only extends to the shell.

When we read the scriptures, we read that Jesus prone to sin body was the shell in which the Spirit of God was pleased to dwell. For God’s purpose was to bring His Word of Life to Adam’s fallen race. Just like every seed has an outer covering, the covering is not the life. The Life is within the shell. Similarly, we plant and water seeds with expectancy (or faith) that something will come forth and we continue. We plant and water the seed -- the same seed that is God given. The outer shell dies because it had served its purpose. Lo and behold, the earth brings forth.

God condescended into a sin prone body. The seed of the holy Spirit is Jesus, named of God and titled King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Immanuel translated, according to the scriptures is God with us. Why? Because one man’s disobedience to God’s will created a situation where Adam along with his offspring would be separated from fellowship with God. Note that even then God arranged temporal measures where limited fellowship was to be obtained, sacrifices and offerings.

The life of God was the life that indwelt the prone to sin shell. The life of the Spirit of God was manifest in the sin prone body. The Word of God was spoken and signs and wonders were performed. God now displaying His desired life that Adam’s race could have been partakers of -- No sin, No sickness, no hate. The sin prone body -- tempted of and by sin -- did not succumb to sin, being exempt from the curse of death. For there was no justifiable reason that Jesus' body of prone to sin flesh should be crucified.

God in Christ, plain and simply loves the world that He gave up His life as a Son, taking upon Himself the sin of the world! Faith comes by hearing these words. Take the Seed of the life of God’s Word and plant the Word in your inner self. Don't forget to water the seed by reading God’s Word. And you will Grow - Grow - Grow! Only Believe!
