Undeniable Love

While reading in I Peter 1:3-4 (NIV)  "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,"  I was given new hope as my eyes caught the passage 'into an inheritance that can NEVER PERISH, SPOIL OR FADE--kept in heaven for you', and my eyes latched on as it became alive within my spirit bringing a new hope, a new blessing from God above. My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus Christ' and righteousness (right standing with God through Jesus Christ)..... Not by anything I have done so I could boast, but through the works of Jesus Christ and His righteousness. 

He conquered all that was needed to assure me that my sin debt is Paid In Full, Once and All time. 

With the final seconds of His earthly life while hanging on the cross, knowing that all things were now accomplished, Jesus cried out, "It Is Finished!"(John 19:28-30). He had fulfilled everything required for our redemption. Once we repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior our sin debt is Paid In Full, Once and Forevermore! Praise The Lord!   There is nothing else for us to do, nothing we need to clean up, no words left to be spoken, but to Rest in the works of our Lord Jesus and accept the righteousness given through His works.

So let's stop trying to make our self good enough to be His forgiven child and just relax in Him and in His loving grace. God loves each one of us with an unconditional love that goes far beyond our human thinking. No matter how far we've fallen, No matter what we have done, No matter where we are at in life, no matter the circumstances that surround us; when we call upon the name of JESUS to save us, He is right there to wash away EVERY sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It is Not by our works, but through Him and only through Him, that we are made the righteousness of God. 

Now we have become children of the Most High God with the assurance that nothing can ever separate us from His love as found in Romans 8:31-39 (TLB), "What can we ever say to such wonderful things as these? If God is on our side, who can ever be against us? Since He did not spare even His own Son for us but gave Him up for us all, won't He also surely give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? Will God! No! He is the one who has forgiven us and given us right standing with Himself. Who then will condemn us? Will Christ? No! For He is the one who died for us and came back to life again for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us there in Heaven. Who then can ever keep Christ's love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or destroyed, is it because He doesn't love us anymore? And if we are hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, has God deserted us? No! For the Scriptures tells us that for His sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day-we are like sheep awaiting slaughter; But despite all this, overwhelming Victory is ours through Christ Who Loved us enough to die for us. For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are-high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean- NOTHING will ever be able to separate us from the Love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when He died for us!" 
What blessed assurance that Jesus loves me: I am His and He is mine, forevermore!
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~
