Kah Wor

God did not send Jesus to die so as

to forgive the sinner. God was never

angry with the sinner. If He was, He

would never have sent Jesus

[Romans 5:8]. God hates sin, not the

sinner! Jesus died for the forgiveness

of sin. God separates the sinner from

the sin. He did so to enable me to

forgive myself! It is for my

conscience to accept Gods love for

me. This is so that my conscience can

embrace my actual relationship with

God as His beloved child! I am Gods

beloved child! This is the

righteousness of God! AMEN!!!

The Hideousness

of SIN!

Foreword

To know what Jesus the Christ died to save me from would

help me appreciate His willing and loving sacrifice so muchmore. Therein I get to know the love of God for me.

Coming to understand and see for myself how much God loves

me instills within me a quiet confidence. A peaceful calm that

lifts me up in every challenge, speaking softly but ever so

reassuringly, Since my loving Father did not spare even His

only Beloved Son but gave Him up for me, how shall He not

also with Him freely and graciously give me all things?

[Romans 8:32].

Although I do not understand the reason for the apparent

tardiness in having what I want or prayed for, but I rest in the

comfort of knowing that He is working all things together, both

good and bad, for my good [Romans 8:28].

God, my loving Father made me the object of His immense love.I am the crown of all His creation, the pride of His Being! He

made wonderful plans for me when I was just an idea in His

loving mind [Jeremiah 29:11]. He knows much more and far

better than I can ever know. He loves me so much and deep

that I can never truly understand. He has my best interest at

heart. He alone knows what is truly best for me. Hence, it is

always His will be done and not mine [Matthew 6:10].

Gods Kingdom is His great love for me. His will is giving me

what is truly best for me. Why would I therefore not want His

will be done? Amen! Seek first of all [as the principal or most

important priority] His kingdom [His love for me] and His

Righteousness [being His beloved child], and all the things I

need shall be added to me. [Matthew 6:33]

Gods Integrity

God is a Man of His Word, so to speak. [Numbers 23:19].

Since He has given us the gift of free will, He honours it.

[Romans 4:21].

Abraham was a tower of confidence in Gods integrity.

Abraham truly epitomized Ephesians 6:13, AMP, Therefore

put on Gods complete armor, that you may be able to resist

andstand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having

done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]

Abraham had to slay Isaac, the son he deeply loved. [Genesis

22:2]. That was a crisis to him. But all the while, he trusted in

Gods integrity to provide the sacrifice, God Himself will

provide a lamb for the burnt offering,Genesis 22:8.

God had earlier promised Abraham that Isaacs descendants

would inherit the promises He made to Abraham [Footnote to

Genesis 22:5]. If Isaac was to die, how could that promise befulfilled? Abraham stood firmly on Gods integrity right to the

point of lifting the knife to slay Isaac! [Genesis 22:10].

God did provide [Genesis 22:11-13].

The only Beloved Son of God came to reveal Gods integrity by

bearing witness that God can be trusted. He came from God.

Only He alone has seen God, the Father. [John 6:46]. Hence,Who else could be in a better position to give testimonies about

God the Father?

"Christ" is derived from the Greek christs, meaning the

"Anointed One." This title corresponds to the Hebrew-derived

"Messiah.

Jesus came to tell us that God is our loving Father Who Himselftenderly loves us. [John 16:27].

Jesus came to prove that God loves us [Romans 5:8].

Jesus came to prove Gods integrity by fulfilling all that God

said He would do in the Old Testament:

Luke 24:26-27, AMP, Was it not necessary andessentiallyfitting that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer all these thingsbefore entering into His glory (His majesty andsplendor)? Then beginning with Moses and [throughout] all theProphets, He went on explaining andinterpreting to them in allthe Scriptures the things concerning andreferring to Himself.

Those very words highlighted in red revealed to me that theFirst Coming of Jesus the Christ was to establish Godsintegrity. The things He did identified Him as the PromisedMessiah. His death proved Gods love for me.

Galatians 4:4, AMP,tells me that God sent His Son to be born

of a woman and subject to the regulations of the Law. The

words when the proper time had fully come in that verse

caught my attention. The greatest blessing came at a time

appointed by God. What more the lesser blessings thereafter? I

am convinced that God has planned very good stuff for me

[Jeremiah 29:11]. But the good stuff will come in His time.

Meanwhile, the Bible serves as a great source of

encouragement and confidence as I wait to watch and enjoy

the unfolding of His wonderful plans in my life.

The prophet Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus in Isaiah 9:6,

AMP, For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the

government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be

called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of

Eternity], Prince of Peace.

Jesus crucifixion was prophesied in Psalm 22:16-18, AMP,For [like a pack of] dogs they have encompassed me; acompany of evildoers has encircled me, they pierced my handsand my feet. I can count all my bones; [the evildoers] gaze atme. They part my clothing among them and cast lots for myraiment (a long, shirtlike garment, a seamless undertunic). )

It is interesting to note that there were two others crucified

together with Jesus. Hence, one can challenge the validity of

Psalm 22:16-18 as evidence supporting Jesus the Man as the

Messiah.

I hear someone shouting, I object!

If crucifixion is the proof that this Man Jesus is the Messiah,

then anyone who have been crucified could also be the

Messiah, in particular these two other men who were crucified

with Jesus. This is the ground of objection.

God was impeccable in providing laser sharp details to refuteany grounds of objection.

Psalm 34:20, AMP, He keeps all his bones; not one of them is

broken.

The prophesy in the preceding verse serves as one piece of

evidence pointing to Jesus the Man as the Promised Messiah.

Roman crucifixion sometimes lasted for hours, even days before the

individual succumbed to the torture, and finally died. The method for

ending the crucifixion was the breaking of the bones of the legs,

called crurifracture. This act was done to hasten the criminal's death as

was done to the two other criminals executed on the day Jesus of

Nazareth was crucified.

The Promised Messiah came as a human being, a Man.

God promised to provide a Messiah in Genesis 3:15. The OldTestament provides details of what the Promised Messiah

would be doing. These details served as the means ofidentifying the Promised Messiah when He came in the fleshthe first time round. I saw this in John 10:37-38, AMP, If I amnot doing the works [performing the deeds] of My Father, thendo not believe Me [do not adhere to Me and trust Me and relyon Me]. But if I do them, even though you do not believeMe orhave faith in Me, [at least] believe the works andhavefaith in what I do, in order that you may know and understand

[clearly] that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father [Onewith Him].

All that the Old Testament said the Promised Messiah would do

were fulfilled in the Person of Jesus the Christ. By so doing, the

Man Jesus proved that He is the Promised Messiah.

Matthew 5:17, AMP, Do not think that I have come to do awaywith orundo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do

away with orundo but to complete andfulfill them.

This is the reason Jesus said in John 5:39, AMP, You

search andinvestigate andpore over the Scriptures diligently,

because you suppose andtrust that you have eternal life

through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!

The experts of scriptures in Jesus day were oblivious to the

fact that the Man Jesus was fulfilling everything that was said

about the Promised Messiah.

Free Will

Free willinvolves choices. To have a choice refers to having at

least more than one thing to choose from.

If only one thing is available, there is nothing to choose. Hence,

the gift offree willneed not or cannot be exercised. It becomes

redundant.

Now imagine God saying this, I have given you the gift of free

will. I lay before you good. Therefore choose well and choose

good. Huh?

In line with His integrity in giving us the gift of free will, God

always present us with a choice (that is, choosing between two

things).

His love is seen in Him always telling me in advance what is

good. The question is whether I would take His Omniscient

advice.

Deuteronomy 30:15, AMP, See, I have set before you this

day life and good, and death and evil.

Deuteronomy 30:19, AMP,I call heaven and earth to witness

this day against you that I have set before you life and death,

the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you

and your descendants may live.

Therefore, the integrity of God can be seen in Him giving Adamthe chance to exercise that gift of free will as recorded inGenesis 2:16-17, AMP, And the Lord God commanded theman, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil andblessingand calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of ityou shall surely die. Right there, Adam was presented with a

choice.

Adams Choice, My Choice

Adam chose to eat from the forbidden tree.

In effect, Adam chose to experience good and evil for himself.He has decided to choose his own course of action in his life,

apart from God.

In essence, Adam rejected Gods love.

Sin is rejecting Gods love and the plans He has loving ly put

together for my good.

God is a Gentleman. Since He gave Adam the gift of free will,

He allowed him to exercise and experience that gift. For this

reason, God allowed the temptation in the Garden of Eden.

God also foreknew what Adam would choose.

Hence, God allowed Adam (and us through him) to experience

both good and evil through our own choices. This is so that we

can then make an informed and willing choice to accept Godslove. This is in line with Gods integrity to honour His gift of free

will. This cost Him His only Beloved Son.

It is through my choices that I finally submit to the Infinite

Wisdom of God and His love for me to work all things together

for my good, in His time [Romans 8:28]. Choices and

decisions made without God suck, BIG TIME!

Through Adam, we have all rejected Gods love by proxy.

[Romans 3:23].

Consequently, we inherited the oppressive sentiments of guilt

and condemnation from Adam. We were born sinners. [Psalm

51:5].

Sin is Hideous

These hideous sentiments weigh me down crushingly,

trampling all over me. They reside in my deepest recess called

the conscience. They sink their razor sharp teeth deep into my

spirit, gnawing me ever so slowly and painfully. They tug and

jerk my spirit. I feel miserable but yet cannot get rid of them. I

resort to numbing myself through painful toils or vices. Rage

overwhelms me as I cannot see them but yet feel them so

intensely. I feel so helpless and frustrated. I end up venting the

penned up frustration on myself by doing things that would hurt

or harm me. Or I let it all out on my loved ones. That makes

me feel even more guilty and condemned. It is a vicious cycle.

They eat me alive slowly from the inside out.

Pride

Meanwhile, the adversary pin all the blame on God, the only

One Who can really get me out of this excruciating misery. Inmy tormented state of existence and wearied spirit, I readily

and easily accept his vile suggestion. I made God my enemy. I

blame Him for my misery. Eventually, I become convinced that

there is no God.

In my misplaced anger, I will never turn to God for help. He is

non-existent to me. The adversary is wicked!

I drive myself deeper into self reliance. I work my butt off for

apparent success that takes me away from my loved ones. I

hardly get to see them. I feel like a piece of walking crap but it

cant be helped. I justify my actions as being responsible. If I

dont do anything, nothing gets done! Yet the most responsible

thing to do is to let God love me [Luke 10:39-42].

This is the world! The way to get out of this misery is by striving!I must strive! Sadly, even the most positive meaning of the

word strive connotes vigorous exertion, the reliance on self.

How much can I do? I am but a mere man!

I have been brought up in a culture of ( a realman can bleed but cannot cry) , (a real mando not cry easily) and (head canbreak, blood can flow but tears cannot flow). It is the prideful

and unrealistic expectations of a man to be able to stand up

against anything and everything while suppressing all the

ensuing emotions.

Hello! I am a man; not superman! Even superman has a

nemesiskryptonite!

In all practicality, the word strive more often than not means to

contend in opposition or conflict. In short, strife.

Yet, I am in misery because of strife. And strife ends in misery.

It is a Catch 22 situation!

I am lost. There is nobody to help me. There is none that I can

turn to for advice. Who can I really trust? Everyone is living an

existence on earth with a mask, even in their sleep.

It is a dog eat dog world out there! I must get ahead of others or

else I will be swallowed up. I must do all it takes no matter what

it cost to stay ahead. Its better you dead than I die! When all

these agonizing miseries become too great for me to bear, I will

choose to end it all through suicide. That is pride; relying on self

and my own resources by taking things into my own hands.

Thieves and Robbers

Guilt

The adversary accuses me of hypocrisy, How dare you take

from God when you have already rejected Him? The guilt

drives me further away from God by hitting at my image of

Gods integrity and sincerity. I was made in Gods image

[Genesis 1:26].

Condemnation

The adversary incites further, Didnt you choose to make it on

your own? What kind of coward are you to turn back on your

own words?

It is condemnation.

Fear

Both guilt and condemnation give rise to fear. Fear causes meto hide from God. I fear because I am without protection. Fear

involves torment! [1 John 4:18]

It makes me feel so ashamed to take or receive from God.

Adam demonstrated it [Genesis 3:10]. It was God Who came

looking for him when he was hiding from God because he was

afraid. He was afraid because he was naked. He became

naked because he rejected Gods love.

The moment I reject Gods love, I become an open goal to the

spiritual forces of wickedness. Gods love for me is the force

field that protects me from them. Alas! I unwittingly walked out

of His invincible shield of protection. My mind becomes

satans playground.

Misery

A life without Gods love is miserable. It is an understatement. It

drives me toward utter despair by pushing me way beyond mylimits. It enslaves me in the bottomless pit of guilt and

condemnation. It is all the way down.

Ill Health

God did not design my body to take all that. As a result,sicknesses, sorrows, grief, pains and infirmities in all shapes

and sizes set in.

Death

All of the above experiences can be wrapped up in one word;

DEATH!

Genesis 2:17, AMP, But of the tree of the knowledge of good

day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

The Gospel

Here comes the good news! Perfect love cast out fear [1 John

4:18].Matthew 11:28, AMP, Come to Me, all you who labor and are

heavy-laden andoverburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I

will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]

The death of Jesus on the Cross is the conclusive proof that

God still loves me. God, through Jesus, is saying to me,I do

not condemn you. Dont reject My love for you anymore. [John8:10-11].

Gods Love

The horrific and gruesome death of Jesus was designed to

shock my conscience out of slumber. Awake to my

righteousness! Isaiah 60:1, AMP, Arise [from the depression

and prostration in which circumstances (arising from guilt andcondemnation) have kept yourise to a new life (as Gods

beloved child or new creation)]! Shine (be radiant with the glory

[love]of the Lord), for your light [Gods love]has come, and the

glory [love]of the Lord has risen upon you!

1 Corinthians 15:34, AMP, Awake [from your drunken stupor

and return] to sober sense and your right minds, and sin no

1 Peter 5:8, AMP, Be well balanced (temperate, sober of

mind), be vigilant andcautious at all times; for that enemy of

yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce

hunger], seeking someone to seize upon anddevour.

The adversary can only devour those who do not live a life

trusting in Gods love as proven by the death of Jesus the

Christ, Gods only Beloved Son in Whom His soul delights

[Luke3:22].

When I look close at John 8:12, I see this:

Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light

(Gods love for) of the world. He who follows Me

(understands and accepts Me as the proof of Gods love)

will not be walking in the dark (without Gods love), but will

have the Light (Gods love) which is Life (being Gods

beloved child).

NB: Bold italics added by me.I read the word follows as understands, as in Do you

follow?

Justice

The demand for justice within me has been met. My consciencedemands justice because I was made in Gods image. God is

just [2 Thessalonians 1:6]. So is my spirit man, my inner man.

The death of Jesus Christ on the Cross met every demand for

justice as required by my conscience.

Forgiveness of Sin

The word Forgiven also means having ceased from feeling

resentful.Here comes the stunning part of Gods gracious love.

God did not send His only Beloved Son to die on the Cross so

that He can forgive me. Jesus died for the forgiveness of sin.

God separates the sinner from the sin!

Jesus died so that I can cease from resenting myself for having

rejected Gods love.

This brings out the love of God for me ever so clearly!

This revelation presents a refreshing and liberating appreciation

of1 John 4:10, AMP, In this is love: not that we loved God,

but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the

atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

God, my loving Heavenly Father has never been angry with me.

He loved me all this while. He hates sin. He loathes the guilt

and condemnation that have bruised and crushed me [Luke

4:18]. But I, He loved from before antiquity all the way through

to eternity!

The stripes of Jesus were designed to provide a stunning visual

to my conscience to reject the inherent guilt and condemnation.

Jesus died so that I can forgive

myself!

.The chastisement for the peace in my conscience was on

Jesus:

Isaiah 53:5, AMP, But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our guilt andiniquities; the chastisement

[needful to obtain] peace andwell-being for us was upon Him,

and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are

healed andmade whole.

My conscience has been sprinkled with the precious blood of

Jesus. [Hebrews 10:22].

Jesus, Who did not reject Gods love, was made to bear my

guilt and condemnation.

2 Corinthians 5:21.For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to

be sin Who knew no sin, so that in andthrough Him we might

become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of]

the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved

and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by Hisgoodness].

This is so that I can justify to my conscience to drive out those

crushing sentiments! Hence, I am justified by Gods love

through accepting the proof of and trusting in His love for me.

[Romans 5:1,Romans 11:6,Titus 3:7]

It is to enable my conscience to accept Gods love for me.

This is so that my conscience can embrace my actual

relationship with God as His beloved!

I am Gods beloved child! This is the righteousness of God!

AMEN!!!

I stand before God, my loving Heavenly Father as His beloved

child!

I live (walk) my life in this temporary and transient world as His

beloved child!

This is how my inherently guilty and condemned conscience

can ever be appeased. All my striving and exertion serve only

to further intensify those oppressive sentiments!

My conscience demands justification to drive out guilt and

condemnation. The death of Jesus is that justification.

Acts 13:38-39, AMP,So let it be clearly known andunderstoodby you, brethren, that through this Man

forgiveness andremoval of sins (removal of guilt andcondemnation as well as the consequential actions) is nowproclaimed to you; And that through Him everyone whobelieves [who acknowledges Jesus as his Savior and devoteshimself to Him (accepts Jesus as the proof of Gods love) isabsolved (cleared and freed) from every charge (by myconscience) from which he could not be justified andfreed bythe Law of Moses (which emphasized on justifying

ourselves) andgiven right standing with God (as His belovedchild).

Compare Law of Moses with Law of the Lord in Psalms 1:2,

AMP, But his delight anddesire are in the law of the Lord

(Gods love for me), and on His law (the precepts, the

instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates

(ponders and studies) (being mindful; that is, mind full ofGodslove)by day and by night.

Justification

Justification has to do with showing proof of a satisfactory

reason for something done. This has the effect of exoneratingthe doer from blame.

Who or what is examining the action to assign blame? It is my

conscience.

My conscience approves or condemns an action or a thought.

This same conscience that has been seared (hardened and

made unreceptive of Gods love for me) by guilt andcondemnation that I inherited from Adam when he rejected

Gods love, the source of His loving and gracious provisions.

These oppressive sentiments came about because Adam

chose to decide and experience for himself what is good and

evil based on his limited knowledge and linear perspective. He

has unwittingly chosen to live his life apart from Gods infinite

Wisdom and panoramic perspective. Through Adam, we havechosen the same by proxy.

Adam has chosen to elope from God, his only true love. I

believe Song of Songs depicts this theme. Adam has chosen to

run away from home to strike it out on his own. He did not know

the word die how to write (Singapore colloquialism for

overestimating ones own abilities).

It is my belief that the Book of Ecclesiastes speaks of one who

lived a life apart from Gods love. The end result is the

realization that such a life is but vanity, a chasing after the wind.

But as with any loving parent, God never left him but kept a

constant vigil over him.

God has provided the permanent justification to my conscience.

The Righteousness of God

A closer examination of 2 Corinthians 5:21 gave me a better

perspective of the righteousness of God.2 Corinthians 5:21.For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to

be sin Who knew no sin, so that in andthrough Him we might

become []endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of]

the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved

and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His

goodness].

What I ought to be or who I am really?

The beloved child of God.

What is approved and acceptable with God?

To live as His beloved child.

What is my right relationship with God?

As His beloved child.

Why am I His beloved child?

By His goodness; His love!

This question brings me back to the beginning. In the

beginning was love. Everything was made because of love

[John 1:1-3]. Whose love? Gods love! God is love [1 John

4:8]. For who? You and I!

Psalm 8:4, AMP, What is man that You are mindful of him,

and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

The angels are scratching their heads. ! (This means

strange in Chinese).

Why did God make me?

This is the reason, My heart is filled with so much love and I

need someone I can call My Own. John 3:16says that Godso love the world, that is everyone, that He gave up His only

Beloved Son, the Son of His love, so that He can call us His

very Own.

God made me so that He can call me His very beloved Own!

It shatters our Heavenly Fathers heart to watch sin crushing

and cashing in on us.Sin has rearranged our faces so badly that we dont even

recognize ourselves!

Hence 2 Corinthians 3:18 says that as we behold His glory

(the display of His love for us) as in a mirror (because we

are a reflection of His image) with unveiled faces (who we

really are as the object of His love), we shall be transformed

into His image, the very same image that God first made us.

NB: Italics in bold added by me.

We are made in His image [Genesis 1:26]. Jesus the Christ

has lifted the veil of satans deception, that God do not love us.

Romans 5:8 tells us that God loves us so much that He sent

His only Beloved Son to die as proof of His love for us while we

treated Him as our enemy!

Jesus the Christ is the conclusive proof of Gods love for us!

Sin is rejecting Gods love. What more now that He has dug out

His heart and placed it on a silver platter as a glittering light

(glory) of His love? Jesus said He is the Light [John 8:12], The

Light of what? It is the Light of Gods great love for us!

Darkness is to be without Gods love. Hence in John 8:12,

Jesus said that those who follow Him (understands and accepts

that He is the proof of Gods love) will not be walking in the dark

(without Gods love).

How can we who have received Gods love be rejecting His

love at the same time? It is impossible! [Romans 6:1-2].

We have either received Gods love or we have not. There is no

lukewarm response to such great love. We are naked without

Gods love [Revelation 3:15-18]. In the spiritual realm, we are

an open goal for all sorts of spiritual attacks without Godslove. His love for us is the force field that protects us from the

spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly sphere

[Ephesians 6:12]. Without Gods love, we fear[Genesis 3:10].

Fear involves torment [1 John 4:18].

Adam was deceived into rejecting Gods love because he was

not presented with the privilege of the conclusive proof of Gods

great love. We do now!

God, our loving Heavenly Father is showering you with the love

you have been waiting for; through, by and in Jesus the Christ!

What are you waiting for?

Grab that love right now. The moment you confess Jesus as

your Lord, you are taking possession of all that He had died to

give you; the all-encompassing and unconditional love of God,

the Creator of the entire Cosmos!

God's love is universal. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone.

In other words, we received God's love through the proof of His

love; Jesus Christ.

I have been trodden down by the bondage to guilt and

condemnation. With the roots of guilt and condemnation rippedout, fear dies!

It is time to usher in the New Year.

Old things have passed away [died] and behold, all things

boldly approach the throne of grace, the King of love, to find His

well-timed help [Hebrews 4:16].

The Amplified version of Hebrews 4:16 indicates appropriate

help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it. It

clearly points to the Sovereign love and plans of God for my life,

Holiness

Holy means set apart. I read it as reserved.

It would mean this in Singlish, God chop His love for me. I amchopped for His love.

God is Holy, be ye holy [1 Peter 1:15-16].

God is love. [1 John 4:8]. God, a.k.a. love is set apart for His

object of love.

We are holy when we set ourselves apart from the world to be

loved by Him. To be loved by Him is to not be conformed to or

fashioned after this world.

Romans 12:2, AMP, Do not be conformed to this world (this

age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial

customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal

of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you

may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptableand perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and

acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Genesis 14:22-23, AMP, But Abram said to the king of Sodom,I have lifted up my hand andsworn to the Lord, God Most High,the Possessor andMaker of heaven and earth, That I wouldnot take a thread or a shoelace or anything that is yours, lest

you should say, I have made Abram rich.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10, AMP, Jabez was honorable above hisbrothers; but his mother named him Jabez [sorrow maker],saying, Because I bore him in pain.Jabez cried to the God ofIsrael, saying, Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge myborder, and that Your hand might be with me, and You wouldkeep me from evil so it might not hurt me! And God granted his

request.

From the above verses, I have understood holiness to meanthis.

Whenever I am in great sorrows (Jabez), a.k.a. trials and

temptations, I do not resort to the norms of my age to get what Iwant, when I want. Doing so will only get my backside burnt(king of Sodom).

Genesis 14:22-23, AMP,But Abram said to the king of Sodom,I have lifted up my hand andsworn to the Lord, God Most High,the PossessorandMaker of heaven and earth, That I wouldnot take a thread or a shoelace or anything that is yours, lest

you should say, I have made Abram rich.Only God alone gets all the glory for the blessings in my life. [1Corinthians 10:31]. For it is God Who gave me the power toget wealth. [Deuteronomy 8:18].

It is more honourable to look to Jesus to provide what I want inHis good time and in accordance with what He knows to be thebest for me to have, and when to have them. This is rest, which

gives peace.

The moment we walk out of this restful peace, we openourselves to all sorts of unscrupulous manipulations.

This is setting myself apart for the love that God hasconsecrated for me. God has reserved (chop) His love for me. Ihave been reserved (chop) for His love. I in Him and He in me[John 15:5].

Hence, God is Holy, be ye holy. [1 Peter 1:16].

Anti-blessings?

I hear one asking, Are you against blessings?

No!

I am for blessings! There is no doubt about it!

Proverbs 1:20 says that the Wisdom of God is crying aloud.

Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are

riches and honour. [Proverbs 3:16].

Wisdom is to know that God loves me and to live my life by that

conviction.

Seek first to accept the truth that I am in the kingdom of His

love for me as Jesus died to place me, and live my life as His

beloved child. Then all the things I need shall be added to me.

[Matthew 6:33].

Colossians 1:13, AMP,[The Father] has deliveredanddrawn

us to Himself out of the control andthe dominion of darkness

and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.

Another asks, What about wants?

Who would ever want something they do not need?

Even if someone wants something that is not needed, does it

matter if that is not given? It is not something needed anyway!

In all my ways, I acknowledge that God loves me. [Proverbs

3:6]. I take possession of His love and I live by that conviction.

Conclusion

There are numerous records of the plight of those who lived

their lives without Gods love in the Bible.In the same evidential document, there is a cloud of witnesses

who beartestimonies of how Gods love for them has benefited

them.

Hebrews 12:1-2, AMP, Therefore then, since we aresurrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have bornetestimony to the Truth], let us strip offandthrow aside everyencumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin [rejectingGods love] which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clingsto andentangles us, and let us run with patientendurance andsteady andactive persistence the appointedcourse of the race that is set before us,

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is theLeaderandthe Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for

our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity andperfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was setbefore Him, endured the cross, despising andignoring theshame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne ofGod.

Italics in bold highlighted in red added by me.

You may very well be living a life of struggles right now. Or you

may be feeling lonely in a crowd of friends. You may feel likeliving in abject poverty while having immense material wealth.You may be feeling fearful for no rhyme or reason.

Have we been brought into this world only to be waiting for ourtime to be buried? It cannot be!

The One Who truly loves you and Who can really empathizewith you has left you volumes of love letters written in His Blood,

the Bible. He is waiting right now for you to crack it open to seeHis heart of love for you.

He is asking you to know Him for yourself [Mark 8:29].

Dontjust be contended by looking at what others are doing orsaying about Gods love for you. Find out for yourself.

Jesus the Christ remains the one and only conclusive proof ofGods love for you.

God has chosen the national of Israel to tell the world that He isreal. Gods Word can be trusted because of what He has done

or is doing in and for Israel.

Israel as a nation was dispersed for hundreds of years withoutbecoming extinct. She came back as a nation in one day. Yes,

just one day! Just as God promised He would do. God cannotlie [Numbers 23:19].

Since Israel is real, God is real. Since God is real, Jesus is real.Since Jesus is real, the proof of Gods love for you is real! God

loves you!

God is impartial [Romans 2:11]. God is the same yesterday,today and forever[Hebrews 13:8].

Since He has fulfilled His promise to Israel, He would do thesame for all His other promises. For as many as are thepromises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ].[2 Corinthians 1:20]. Jesus Christ is the conclusive proof ofHis love for you. God made all those promises because Heloves you!

Jesus the Christ is standing and knocking at the door to yourheart. [Revelation 3:20].

Will you let Him in?

Note from Author

Anyone can interpret the scriptures in favour of an adoptedstand [2 Peter 3:16]. I find that the only constant in the Bible is

Gods love for me. I find the love of God is beyond any doubt

the crimson thread running through the Bible from cover to

cover. Therefore, I have chosen to read and interpret the Bible

in the greater context of His love for me.

This is my personal conviction. This is how I enjoy my Bible.This is my stand.

When the Lord returns, He will weigh my stand according to my

heart [1 Samuel 16:7].

I am the beloved child of God that Jesus the Christ has made

me to be [2 Corinthians 5:21] in the process of getting to know

Gods love for me.

If you have been blessed by this literature, let all the glory and

praise redound to our loving Father God. If there is anything

you find amiss, let God judge my heart.

If you would like to support the declaration of Gods great love,

you can do soHERE.

This has been brought to you byEnjoying the Bible.

1 Timothy 4:13, AMP, Till I come, devote yourself to [public

and private] reading, to exhortation (preaching and personal

appeals), and to teaching andinstilling doctrine.
