GOD SO LOVES
By Rick Mathes
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life
Let us marvel together over God’s genius when He thought up and then spoke the world into existence. Not to mention inventing blue for our sky. How marvelous can it be when for His glory He made man in His image and likeness? My mind has just gone on disconnect just writing this. All of it is for us to honor Him wqith: our mind, heart and soul with all of our best effort. Whew!

For a season, Satan has been allowed to rule kingdoms of this world and prowl around like a devouring lion. What must we do?
Jesus has given us permission to come to Him with an empty hand. It’s an invitation to the rest of your life. As fellow Christians, we are on our way to an experience we won’t soon forget. The world as we know it does an amazing 180o like nothing we hae ever seen much less imagined. He beckons us to step forward, out of all the billions that populate this planet and stand before Him all alone.
When I was facing the booking sergeant and I gave him my ring, watch, belt and shoe-laces, I stood there all alone: no friends. When we step through that turns-style we will be face to face alone with Him. Our friends won’t do us any good at the white throne judgment.
Now we need to rationally consider our options. Without Jesus, what is your “plan B.?” If you don’t have a viable alternative to a resurrected Savior, don’t feel alone; neither do I nor does the world He loves so much. So what choice will you make? I strongly suggest that you should believe in Him. For 2,000 years plus, He has never let anyone down: proof enough?
Now I don’t know about you but I don’t know when I will have had my last chance nor do I know the day and time of my last heartbeat. So it seems very wise to me for you to accept Him as your Lord of your life. When you renounce the world, all of hell’s fury will be unleashed on you. So brace yourself to stand on the promises of the Lord because in the last analysis, He’s all we have in fact, He is all we ever needed.
