Eternity: Past, Present & Future

 

Eternity: Past, Present & Future
1 John 4:15:16

15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

No one can erase Christ’s history. The handwriting of God is inscribed on the hearts and souls of those who believe in Him. This is a love that has a three-strand cord, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Their bond is eternal, everlasting, and unbreakable. The Word of God is our road map and history of our God the Creator of everything.

There is a plan put into existence before time began. The earth was without form and the darkness was there. The galaxies, moon, stars, and sun were created to light the way. A perfect love was coming to the earth to exemplify this mystery that we now read about and know in part.

When we exemplify the love that the Bible talks about it releases an energy of goodness that exhibits light. There’s no evil that can thwart it. Because God is love and He commands us to love one another. His greatest message was to teach us about love, how we are to love Him, know Him, obey Him through His Word. We are supposed to demonstrate love in our lives as we live. Christ exemplified it to us first and now we are to follow in His footsteps.

The power of the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit moves through us and works within us as we desire to please God. This love has a plan to save us from eternal damnation.  Our minds and hearts must shift from self and focus on Jesus Christ. He is love and He walked among this earth that He created.

As we ponder love it is universal. We all can learn many lessons about life, but the greatest is how did we love one another and God? Love is kind, patient, does not boast, does not envy, or get jealous and carry out evil acts. It chooses not to avenge those who have wronged us, but to love. This is the kind of love that Christ taught it revealed the darkness in men. 

So many of us have lived in darkness and went alone with the evil and selfishness that hides in the dark. Now that we have accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ and have studied His life, we should no longer be partakers of selfishness and hatred.

The door is open for us to walk into the truth and light of God’s Word. God so loved us before we knew of Him. As He calls us by our names every morning let us be mindful of this love. We get the chance to tell the Father thank you and express our gratitude and walk in love every day that we are alive.

If this message resonates with you, it’s a sure sign that God’s love is within you. Because His love reaches the lowest parts of the earth and goes beyond the soul and spirit of a man. Remember this love is good energy that flows through eternity into time moving and breathing among the living as God planned. 

We have the blessing every day to be conscientious of it when we praise God for His Son, Jesus. Let love abide within us as we grow to understand the true meaning of living is to find the light, so that we’re able to see a better way to live in God’s peace, love, and rest. His goodness is everlasting, that’s what abides in us when we love.

Life has many hills and valleys, ups and downs, detours, and bridges, etc. However, we must remember God’s love is always flowing through us because we love Him. We must be discerning of the spirits in the world and the evil that fights against the love of God. Pray for wisdom and wait on the Lord when we are not sure about a matter, till He speaks to us.

Love suffers long and is patient. We must show the world by our fruit that Jesus lives in us. His love is beyond forever. There is nothing that can separate His love from fulfilling His word and promises. Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


 

Remember Me

 

 I am there with you through it all

Keep searching for the narrow road

I will shine my light upon you

Cast all your fears and tears on Me

I am the Resurrection and Life

You can depend on Me for everything

I come to give you rest and rewards

I have carried your heaviest burden

When I died on the cross

There will be hard times, but press on

I am Your Savior I paid the way

Remember Me and trust in My Word
