God’s Loving Desire

Read | 1 Timothy 2:1-6

God’s Loving Desire

Throughout the New Testament, we see God’s universal call to salvation repeated a number of times (John 1:12; 3:16; 6:40; 2 Peter 3:9). But each of us must make a personal decision about answering Him. God wants mankind saved for several reasons. First, He loves us (Eph. 2:4). Divine love isn’t based on any worthiness in us; rather, care for His creation is part of God’s nature. Second, the Lord’s grace is made evident through His followers (v. 7). Believers were once rebellious beings, whom God transformed into obedient servants—that’s a change He wants to celebrate for eternity. What’s more, our good works glorify the Lord (Matt. 5:16). Everything we do in His name increases other people’s awareness of Him. Salvation is possible only through Christ, who reconciles sinful people to holy God. Isaiah 53:6 teaches that every one of us is a sinner, and Romans 6:23 adds, “The wages of sin is death.” Without a divine solution, we’d be indebted and hopeless. But the Savior’s death on the cross paid the penalty for all humanity so anyone who wants a relationship with the Father can have one. Believing Jesus died for our sins and submitting to the Lord’s will are all that’s necessary for us to enter into eternal fellowship with Him. Our heavenly father loves us and wants to be with us forever. The only thing that can separate us from Him is a decision to reject His invitation. Once we receive His Son as Savior, we are God’s, and no human action or character flaw can sever our eternal relationship with Him.

God’s Loving Desire 

Is believing that Jesus died for our sins therefore we will be with the Lord forever in eternal life with Him.  How much more can be written by Charles F. Stanley.  Without God we would be indebted and hopeless.  God is wonderful.  He has a promise that he will never leave us.  He is with us always and live in our heart.

I love praising the Lord Jesus Christ and teaching the children daily at Sonshine Christian Preschool and Learning Center that without God we are nothing.  That he never leaves us and that he lives in our hearts.  I let the children know that they can speak to God when ever they feel like.  I encourage the children to Pray.  I encourage the children to be happy and have fun because they will always have their protector with them.

God is wonderful and I feel so blessed to have Jesus Christ in my heart living their and happy to know that I will be with him someday in eternity to live forever.

God Bless,
