When God Says …
“For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:34-36 KJV)These passages drive in the absolute truth that those who put their faith in Christ Jesus will be saved, but those who reject Him will face the wrath of God. Yes, that's by believing in the only begotten Son of God our Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Father sent to speak the pure Words of God, undefiled by the rigmaroles and rituals of religion and precepts of men. God has given Him the Spirit without measure. As we totally depend in His grace, we are saved! It is written: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—” (Ephesians 2:4-5 ESV)
As gentiles and once sinners, we - you and I, were separated from God. But, good news we have! Scriptures declare: “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13 NIV). We are now postured by faith to receive the provisions of grace by the finished work of Jesus on the cross, because of the Father's love. Apostle Paul stressed this truth for us with these Words of exhortation: “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
