Is He a Good God?

 God is good for this:

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 

While we were sinners, when we didn’t know God, nor did we care about Him, He loved us. In fact when we were so unlovable, so totally ignorant of Him, He loved us and made a plan to come ad die for us. God came to die for an earth that rejected Him. God came to redeem a human rave that has no redeeming quality. We were so bad, that not one of the billions of us that ever walked this earth could die to redeem mankind.

Moses, Noah, Paul, Peter David or even the saintly Daniel, none of them were good enough to rescue mankind from their sins.

God loved us when we did not care, and today when society is running Him off and out He still loves us and calls all to repentance.

God is Good for this:

Joh 3:16  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. 

God is good in that He gave His only begotten Son on this earth to die for us. You say I just made that point, right?

Well a Good and loving God also let’s those that reject them know full well what is waiting for them if they reject Him.

He promises that whosoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Now that’s a downright huge promise, if you believe on Christ you will have everlasting life!

However, He does not stop there. He says that those that do not believe shall perish.

He is a good God for He tells you what is coming, He allows you to make a choice and then at the very end, despite how much He loves you He will allow you to go to the place you desired, the place you chose.

That is a Good God, He does not force you to obey, He gives you all the information and allows you to decide.

The question is not, is God Good? For we know He is.

The question is Do you choose Him or death?

That is all that matters today.

Call on the name of the Lord Jesus, Confess Him with your mouth today and you will be saved.

A living Testimony

 

Joh 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

Joh 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

Joh 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus

People were coming to see Jesus, to witness the power of God and to hear of the Love of God.

Yet many were coming to see Lazarus. Many were coming to see the man resurrected from the dead after 4 days in the ground.

Lazarus is a powerful living breathing testimony to the power of Jesus. So much so that the Chief Priests want him killed.

The people and some of the elites were coming to believe on Jesus because of Lazarus.
That kind of testimony, wow what an effective witness.

We also have this power, to be an effective witness, to be raised from the dead to the living, in newness of life, being a living breathing testimony of the power of God to change lives.

How we might affect the world if we but dedicated our lives to the One that gave us His. To be the Testimony of Hos Grace and Mercy, a vessel used for His Glory to show mankind of the power of a changed life. To show the world the Joy of Salvation, the Hope of eternity and the promise of Life ever after.

You think they hated Jesus? They did. Yet they hated Lazarus just as much for Lazarus was a light to Him.

So too will they hate you and I if we are to live Holy and Righteous lives as He does, if they can not stop us, they will try to distract us for they do not want His light in their world.

We need men to stand in the Grace and Mercy and be a living embodiment of a changed life touched by the power of God.

They may hate us, but what is their hate when compared to the love of the Father?
