Would we do that? Give our only son to suffer and die, like Jesus did. This was the only way that we could be saved. God could have wiped humanity out, but His love for us was greater than that. It is amazing love, that although God knew before we were created, the sins that we would do, He chose us. The Father knew that we would believe and love his spotless Son. Jesus suffered agony for us, He was without sin, yet he willingly died on the cross for you and me.

Good morning, Cosia;

Probably not. In our understanding we would not allow our children to die and suffer out of love and protection. We would not know the outcome.

But only God could give His only Son because He loved us so much despite our sin. God is God and He knew the outcome.

John 3:16, Ephesians 1:4 and John 14:3 is all I need to hear and believe. "I will come and get you."

I am relieved we have an Awesome God.

God bless you, Cosia.
 
Precious Gifts - Week 24

Life (Part 1)

Psalm 139:13 (NLT)

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knitted me together in my mother's womb."

β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜†

God, our Blessed Father, gives life to a new born baby. The Christian parents bring their child up to know and love God. The child's life will be short compared to eternity.

When he, or she, is no longer a child, and has been reborn their life will grow richer in closeness to God. They will receive the promise of everlasting life from their heavenly Father. God tells how this promise will be kept. You must love and follow Christ and love others.

1 Peter 3:15 (NLT)
"Instead you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it."

β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜†

God be with us all and teach us even more, how to love God and love each other.

Precious Gifts - Week 25
Life (Part 2) - Eternal Life


Often I have tried to imagine what our eternal lives will be like. Of course God's words tell us many things about heaven and also about Christ's reign on earth. We can be sure it will be beautiful and filled with happiness.

A river, fish, tree of life, healing:

Revelation. 22:1-2. (NLT)
1. Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and from the Lamb.
2. It flowed down the centre of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.

We will never be ill or in pain:

Revelation 21:4 (NLT)
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow
or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."

There will be Great Joy in heaven. We will worship the Lord with music, singing, and playing instruments.

John the Elder saw in:

Revelation 15:3 (NLT)
3 And they were singing The Song Of Moses, the servant of God, and the Song of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your works, O God the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O Lord of the nations.

Brothers and Sisters, don't let anyone or anything rob you of your hope.

1 Peter 1:3
3 All praise to God, the Father of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation."

We will be living in a most holy place, filled with love. See you all there!
God Bless.

Good morning, Cosia;

Please help me. I was looking for weeks 1 to 22. I found 23, 24 and this morning's 25.

I always imagine the moment I die what it will be like going to our Maker. I do think about this often.

I'm not afraid, instead, have all the faith that after judgment I will receive His ultimate forgiveness and rejoice in Heaven forever.

This is a big deal.

God bless you, Cosia.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Life (Part 3) The Animals


What is going to happen to God's animals?

Isaiah 11:6-9 (NLT)
"6
. In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together,
The leopard will lie down with the baby goat.
The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,
And a little child will lead them all.
7. The cow will graze near to the bear.
The cub and the calf will lie down together.
The lion will eat hay like a cow.
8. The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.
Yes, a little child will put its hand in the nest of deadly snakes without harm.
9. Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain.
for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord."

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†

How beautiful is that? Friendship, love and peace for all. And God wants us all there!

God Bless you all.

Hello Cosia;

My wife and I just had a discussion from reading Genesis 6. Who is to say God can't have a conversation and take care of His animals which are a huge part of His Creation?

Can communication exist between God and His lion, birds, etc...? We have heard dogs and dolphins used to save a human. Can God's hand be in this? We believe so.

God bless you, Cosa, and thank you for sharing Precious Gifts - Week 26 (Life - Part 3) The Animals
 
Hi bobinfaith
God spoke to the sea and the storm disappeared. God spoke to a donkey and it obeyed him.
God spoke to the mountains, I believe God can have a conversation with anything because he created everything.

It was the creator who enabled humans to speak, in the language he wanted them to, and so he is able to talk to the animals and they will understand.
"With God All Things Are Possible."

God loves all his creation, and sees every bird that falls out of the nest.

God can speak to the sun, moon and stars and they obey him.
Many Blessings to you Bob, and Hazel.
