Why Is It Good News? It's Complex and Beneficial.


Why Is God's Love Good News? It's Beneficial! Aug 7, 2008 updated 18 July 2014

Do you know for sure you're going to heaven? God loves you! Yes He does. He sent you His Son, His only Begotten Son to die for you on Calvary's cross. You can go free on God's ticket of grace to be saved and belonging progressively to Hm being in Christ. Become the disciple of Christ. Man is inherently evil, totally depraved, and radially corrupt. You need not teach a baby to sin, they know it. The Bible says, "All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory." Romans 3:23; John 3:16, "All we like sheep (of the shepherd) have gone astray, we have together turned aside to our own way and the Lord hath laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6.
All men are on one side and God is on the other side looking.. John 3:17 says by the way,"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but by the Son to save the world through Him. He's being patient not willing that any should perish.
God said "Paid in full" and "account settled" when you put your faith and trust in Christ's sacrifice of His body even His Blood to give you His Divine brand of rightness and being right in right standing with God and peace with God. The Work of salvation is Finished. We can trust God it's living this New Life by grace. Just as God has ceased from His Own works we can to. We can trust for the outcome. What one does from then on we determinedly do with all our might to delight to please the Father in commitment friendship. Justification: "just-as-if-I've-never-sinned" can be yours too if ""you" respond to God's call to salvation. But more than that you're a partaker of the Divine Nature. You love God first for the first time with a Holy fire or passion. You're in the throws of positionally being as righteous and holy as Jesus is. Do it now if you want to. Confess you fall short of God's glory. You at times fail God. God knows everything but it helps you to know you obtained His favor even forgiveness. Ask Him.
Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless, perfect life, suffered an unjustly treated Atonement death by going to the cross. His crucifixion was unique because He did it for others being the sinless Son of God, God incarnate. He laid His life down to show us the example God is looking for and be the Blemishless Substitute for us That Died and was Resurrected after Death. He took captivity captive and in His innocent Blood took on God's wrath for our sins. No one took His life from Him. He gave it. "For He made Him Who knew no sin to become sin for us that we might be made the Righteousness of God in Him." II Cor. 5:21 God took His hat off and bowed self-sufficient in time and called us 'friend.' I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross, the chorus goes. Jesus satisfied the Holy demands of God once for all. We have opportunity to receive Him and His forgiveness after hearing the plan of salvation of God's and then know God. Actually God knows us. If that isn't love then the ocean is dry, there's no stars in the sky, but Praise God, it happened. We came home to Papa. God chose to show the Father to us until we came to the Son repentent.
Now it's up to us to confess our sins that we're sinners and accept Jesus Christ in our heart and know God following the Christ by continually obeying the Risen Savior Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is given to us as a seal. His Grace is enough. We can't earn it, we just receive it, this love gift of salvation and take it by faith, and live anew like He did living sacrifice. In other words it takes place a definite place and time and involves being born again and living for God serving Him and daily praying, witnessing, looking into the eyes of Jesus all the time for testimony and to be a good ad man/ woman for Him. I pray you make your Eternal decision.
