Grace, Mercy & Miracles

When I learned what God did for me to be reconciled back to Him, I was completely astonished and confused. If God’s love was so great that He was willing to provide a way for me to be free from all guilt and shame and live forever in His presence where there is fullness of joy, why didn’t I ever hear about this great love and freedom available? I was brand new and unstained by the church, so I was able to believe all that is written in the Bible without doubt. I read it, accepted it and lived it daily.

I didn’t belong to a church because the Holy Spirit was my teacher and I was so busy living the Word of God daily, that I didn’t have time to get polluted with wrong doctrine or manmade religion. I was the only person that I know of who actually believed and trusted everything back then, but I did learn how the enemy blinds the unbelievers and how people can be hardened in their hearts when they suffer setbacks and many heartbreaks from people who don’t know what they are doing. I have now experienced both sides and I will never again allow lies to pollute my heart or mind from the Truth, because it is a miserable world when a person is deceived or darkened in their thinking.

A person can accept God’s plan of salvation for all mankind which is to receive the Lord Jesus as your personal savior and redeemer. It is knowing and accepting that Jesus died in your place and went to hell for you that is the good news. And when God raised him from hell on the third day and seated him at his right hand in Heaven, we were raised with Him and are now to live from that seat above in Christ.

Christ Jesus is now waiting for all of his enemies to be placed under his feet. Meaning that all authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Jesus and all judgment has been granted to him over the people.

Jesus came to destroy the works of darkness and he took every sin onto himself when he was crucified in our place. Thereby putting to death all our sins forever so that those who believe in Jesus can no longer be condemned or punished for our misdeeds when we belong to Christ.

This is not an excuse to do bad things and not have to pay for them, but it is the free gift of God for all who believe on Jesus to be made righteous through their union with Christ.

All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus can now be saved and given a brand new life!

When a person accepts and believes that Jesus died in their place and they are now free to come to the Father and receive mercy and help in their time of need, they are also given the Holy Spirit of God who makes this possible by uniting us with God’s spirit we are made into a brand new creation!

This is not something that people can do on their own. It is a free gift from God for all who believe. The life that is led by the Holy Spirit is no longer dominated by the ways of the flesh. When a person knows they are loved and fully accepted in Christ by the Father, they no longer have the old selfish heart or calloused heart from the world of corruption but they receive a new heart that has God’s laws written on it. They are no longer eager to do wrong, but they are eager to do what is in God’s heart.

This way is the way of love and peace which is the way of Righteousness. No longer fighting to survive in a corrupt world, a person can receive what is needed through their union with Jesus. They are able to receive instructions and ways to live as a citizen of Heaven where there is no evil.

A life of praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father is what is produced by the power of the Holy Spirit in us! It is a life where God Himself lavishes his perfect love on us and frees us from the old wicked thoughts that cause so much suffering in the world.

Trusting in the Lord for every one of our needs to be met and for Him to establish us and give us a divine purpose that brings glory to His son Jesus and makes all of creation into one new man. That is the body of believers become the Body of Jesus and He is our head and Lord over everything in our lives.

Jesus is able to free us from all the things that we formerly couldn’t be free of on our own. The bondage of religion and the corruption that is in the world through lust.

God made for himself a holy people that he is able to live with and be involved in all of the things in our lives.

From going to the market to raising our children, we no longer live in darkness or following after the vanity and futility of the world.

This is a beautiful life that makes a person shine bright wherever they go, because God is with them. They are no longer living in fear or terror of what others are concerned with, because they know that God is their protection and provider. He brings them all into divine healing through the wounds that Jesus incurred on his body. By his stripes we are healed. The chastisement of Jesus brings us peace. Because Jesus became poor, we can now be rich in all things. We no longer have to be separated from the Father again, so we are brought near to God and have access to every spiritual blessing through Jesus.

Does this sound like a terrible life? Or does it sound like good news?

If anyone is not in Christ, he will be responsible for the penalty for all of his/her sins on judgment day. That means they will become that sin forever and live separated from God in outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. A place of eternal torment that no one has to ever endure if they chose to accept Jesus and make him their Lord.

Jesus is the greatest treasure and most amazing blessing a person could ever receive. He will carry you through anything that happens in this world and instead of despair and dread a person in Christ has peace and hope.

It doesn’t make sense to someone who is not born again by the Spirit, because they are not able to accept the things of God. They are in a fallen state that was caused by sin and they are without understanding and wisdom to guide them into what is truth and the reality for every born again believer.

We are never alone and we have help always so we are eager to see all people rescued from that place of outer darkness and destruction.

People make fun of Christians because they can’t believe that they can live so devoted to loving a God that the unbelievers can’t see or hear as real.

Faith in Jesus and knowing that God is good always changes a person from the inside out.

If you would like to experience a new life and become a part of a royal family that loves and protects you from the evils of this world, ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to live in your heart and be your Lord and Savior and He will come right into your open heart.

If a person doesn’t believe, he won’t be able to receive Jesus as Lord. But putting your faith in what is good and is abundant life will remove the fear of death and take away the torment that unbelievers suffer apart from God.
