God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Friday 5 August 2011

"Greetings in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: 1 John 4:9-11 "In this, the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.  In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought to love one another."

The love of God was demonstrated with the death of Jesus upon the of Calvary on our behalf.  Jesus is the only begotten Son of God which expresses not a literal birth, but a sense of uniqueness.  In other words, Jesus is the unique Son of God and NO other person is God's Son in the way that He is.

Divine love by it's nature is unselfish.  It is self-sacrificing.  Jesus with His death, self sacrificed Himself for us, to advert the punishment our sins deserved, and which now enables God to shower His blessings on us.

In verse 11, we as Christians, are instructed that "we also ought to love one another."  It is only fitting that we as Christians are to be loving, just as God loves us.

Today's Hymn: "Love Lifted Me" (verse 1)

I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained  within, sinking to raise no more
But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help, Love lifted me!

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we are to you Most Gracious and Loving God that because of Your Son and His death and resurrection we have been rescued from the penalty of our sins.  Thank you for Your Love, Your Care, Your Mercy, and Your Grace.
                                                                                                                                           Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "It is intimately impossible to know God without loving others, for God is love."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

"Here I am Lord, Send ME" (Isaiah 6:8)
