How God's Love Saves Life

Dear Reader,

Today I will share with you three absolutes and characteristics that establish and demonstrate the qualities of a Man that I know personally, who loves you more than anyone on earth. Yes, even your Parents!

1. He has prayed for you. Prayer is a powerful tool the children of God posses. It provides an open or two way communication that allows hearing God, as well as, talking to God. We all experience, first hand, the trials and tribulations of life. However, Jesus comforts us by advising in Luke 22:31-32 NLT: Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail." Biblehub As long as we remain strong in faith and trust God, he can conquer all adversities.

2. He forgives you in spite of the all the lies, cheating, and foul language you speak in or out of his presence. In The New Testament, we find that while Jesus was hanging from the cross with nails hammered into his hands and feet, blood pouring from open wounds, and the sarcastic mocking from his enemies; he prayed on their behalf asking God for their forgiveness. "Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice." (Luke 23:34 NLT) BibleHub Dr. Timothy J. Woods, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, explained in a Sermon titled: Forgiveness: "Jesus accepted a punishment he did not deserve for sins he did not commit." A perfect summary of his sacrifice.

3. He gave his life on a cross so that we can have eternal life. I am sure the previous points peaked curiosity. Therefore, I will state my purpose in writing to you. And that is to share with you how to receive eternal life. Romans 10:8-11 explains: "In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” BibleHub Simple! Now you know, and, you too can receive salvation. Jesus is loving, forgiving, a provider, and a protector. He cares for you.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
