An all encompassing love......

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3.16

An everlasting love......

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Jeremiah 31.3

An ever present love...

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
II Corinthians 13.11

Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me when I was unlovable. Thank you for loving me without asking you to love me. Thank you for a love that will never leave me. Oh God, help me to love others as you have loved me, unconditionally. Father it is easy for me to love others that love me, but please help me to love those that hate and despise me.

If you would like to know the God of this universe that sent his Son to die for you, and loves you unconditionally, please go to the Plan of Salvation page on this website and read carefully. Then send me an email and I will try to help you anyway I can.

As human beings we have a tendency to make the simpliest of things most difficult. To those that do not know Jesus as their personal Saviour, simplicity of salvation becomes a stumblingblock. Do you need a vision, lightning to strike you, or a great thunderous voice to ring out through the heavens before you will believe God wants to save you? That is not the way God set forth the matter of salvation. God gave his very best to YOU that would allow you to become one of his family. If you had the greatest possession imaginable on Earth, and it was your intention to give it away FREE, do you think you would have to beg someone to take it? I don't think so! Yet the Holy Spirit continues to speak to the lost and draw them to God. Listen my friend if you are seeking to know more about God, who do you think moved you to take those first steps of seeking him. Thats right! That is the drawing power of God through the Holy Spirit. Surrender to the seeking power of God today. There may be a day when you will lose your concern, and that may be the day the Holy Spirit stops drawing. He may not come to you again.

Do Not Delay Seek God Today

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
-Rom12 1.2

Perhaps some people, after being saved do not wish to pursue what God would have them to do with their life. Perhaps the thought is, I am saved, going to heaven, and that is good enough.

No my friend it is not good enough. What if God had the same attitude? Well I gave them my Son as a supreme sacrifice, that is enough. I don't need to listen to their prayers, I do not need to bless them any more than I already have. They have Jesus, they will come to heaven when they die. Thats good enough.

God would not do that to his children. After you get saved he continues to bless you, answer your prayers, and meet your needs.

So then, what prevents you continuing with God as he has continued with you?

I purpose to do the right things everyday, what happens?

Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Paul explains the warfare!

Rom 7:18-25 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity, to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin

How do I fight?

Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind; the things of the flesh but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

How can I distinguish what is flesh and what is spirit?

This is a common trick of the devil. He will disguise himself and try to trick you. This is how Paul explains the dilemma.

Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness,lasciviousness, Idolatry,witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,strife, seditions, heresies,Envyings, murders,drunkenness, revellings, and such like:of the which I tell you before,as I have also told you in time past,that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peace,longsuffering,gentleness,goodness,faith
Meekness,temperance:against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
