Herein is Love - Part 626


There is no denying that God loved us enough to become our Saviour. That the same God who created the world decided before the world was formed to become a propitiation for our sins. Indeed, if we love Him enough to confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, then we will be saved. (Romans 10:9) 

While no man hath seen God at any time, if we love one another, God dwells in us. His love is perfected in us. Hereby we know that we dwell in Him and He in us because He hath given us His Spirit. This is the record that God hath given to us -- eternal life on earth as it is in heaven -- through the name of Jesus. The Lord of lords and King of kings. 

This is why the scriptures state that there is no other name whereby we can be saved. Jesus -- the only mediator between God and man. The Alpha and Omega. He made a way for you and I when there was no way of salvation. As a consequence, how could we -- the "whosoever" who had nothing to offer in return -- ever begin to fathom how the same God who created us in the beginning would love us so very much that He would shed His precious holy blood on the cross?

As John wrote, "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live though Him." (I John 4:9) Jesus -- Almighty God in the flesh. The mystery hid in the bosom of the Father until the appointed time. Herein is love. Stand in the offering plate.
