The wonder of God's mercy! Print E-mail

I have finally finished my book, The Blood of Chrsit Never Fails Me,  other than the editing.  Therefore, here is the last few paragraphs that I wrote in the book, as its ending.  I am praying that CrossWay books will be my publisher on this, pray with me!


The End:

          I started this book discussing that God's ultimate goal, above all things, is making known the trueness of His Holiness by expressing His fame and glory.  God's end goal is to glorify Himself in the brightest display of fame and beauty ever seen.  Therefore, I will also end this book in this same theme, but in the particular manner the bible does so.  I am happy Jesus Christ offers free royalties and permission use to use and copy His words and example as close and as much as I am able, and so I will.

       This is why the bible starts off, not with God in need of a relationship, but with God in 6 days creating, of out nothing, the entire infinite universe, as if it was nothing!  Our awesome God was showing He was the great and famous Yahweh, "I AM who I AM."  I am means I exist.  This is repeated for a reason.  God is not merely saying "I exist" but that "I am infinite existence" that is so overflowing with energy and power that with infinite motion and explosive glory moves and creates an endless universe in 6 days.  When God says He is the great "I AM who I AM" (I am He who exist, I am He who exist), He is saying that He is infinite existence in constant moving energy.  This is why the universe is so huge and why Life is so complex even to the cells that make up our bodies.  God is showcasing His infinite "power." Romans 1:20, "Since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen...even His eternal power."  He is infinite in being or existence that is at constant infinite motion of forceful energy and power.  His creation gives us a dim glance of who He really is, who the great and famous "I AM who I AM" is!

      Then at the end of the bible, we have given us, by this same Majestic God the invitation for little sinful worms like you and I to come and for all eternity enjoy His displayed fame!

       Revelation 22:1,16-17, "[There was] a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."... let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely."

       Example: it would like a rich man paying me 10 million dollars, to quit my job today, and come look at all the major world wonders and enjoy the sheer beauty of them, like the grand cannon.  Or it would be like a world chief saying he would pay me thousands of dollars to come and eat his best food so that I would only but enjoy it!  Or it would be like a world famous musician freely offering to come to my house and play his best music for my sheer enjoyment every day.  Will you dear reader come and partake of the rivers of life?  Will you be humble in true repentance of our sinning and believe in Jesus Christ, the God of infinite beauty.  He offers Himself so that He would be yours and you be His.  Yes, it was for this is reason He came as a human man and to die for our sins.

       Our glorious God has made a physical world and a physical universe to showcase His glory in a magnificent open and public display.  He made all heavenly creatures and physical man to have an audience to expose the infinite beauty of His infinite existence too.  Finally He sent His, infinitely beloved Son, Jesus Christ to come to mankind in human form, just like them.  Why?  In doing so God is able to display the truest reality of His most intimate and intense side of His Divine Nature, face to face, to His beloved audience.  Even in Heaven no man will see the Father face to face in physical form, except in the physical face of His Son Jesus Christ.  For this is why Jesus came, to shine the glory of His Father's and His glory up close and in person to His audience, form His eyes of love to ours. 

       This happens because believers are united to Christ as His bride, as members of His body, by His suffering for Him in their place.  Being part of Jesus Christ Himself, believers are able to experience the depth and height of the beauty of God's displayed Divine Nature that could ever have happened.  This was God's end so that He could fully display His and His Son's glory having a grand public audience able to marvel in amazement at His Son.  It was the Father's pleasure to give Jesus the immediate center of attention, praise and love in Heaven.[1]  My great God, Savior and Treasure! 

"[Jesus Christ] is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell." " He is the radiance of [the Father's] glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high."                                     

 

Therefore, may all adoring hearts be given to Jesus Christ, the Magnificent, forever and forever!  Amen

 

The greatness of Mercy!

 

        Exodus 32:31-32, "Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold! "Yet now, if You will forgive their sin -- but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written. And the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book."

        I can think of no greater way to end this book than to draw your attention to the gravity and gloriousness concerning the fact that God had mercy on us, forgiving our sin and making us His legitimate sons and daughters of light.  These words in Exodus ring loudly in my heart like a ten thousand pound bell.  The people who sinned in this particular passage Yahweh says to them: "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of my book."

       Do you understand the gravity of that statement!  What if Yahweh had said that to you and I today!  Moses asked God to forgive them.  But God replied that He will make this people instead give an account of their sin!  What if God did this to us?  It was for no reason God kicked the devil and his angels out of heaven without the possibly for mercy!  What if God did the same to us!

       It is passages like this that remind of the incredible kindness and sheer wonder of God's mercy given to you and I.  And that He gave us His tender love by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to take the full blow of His hot wrath that should have be ours.  God did not have to do that!  HE did not have to love or have mercy on us.  The people in exodus did not receive mercy.  It was not given to them merely because God choose not to give it to them!  But to the church God has not only given  us His mercy and love, but has assured us of this as infallible fact. 

       Hebrews 10:19,22, "Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus... let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."

       Zephaniah 3:5, "The LORD is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness.  Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails..."         

        Because Jesus Christ, according to the decree of God our Father, has took our justice for us in extreme suffering, we are now perfectly guiltless and without fault.  Because of Jesus Christ we are clean and loved, for are now the bride of Jesus Himself!  Oh, what wonderful things these are, who can how the true glory of their message?  Therefore, when justice comes knocking at our door, as it does to us all every day and one day on Judgment, what will justice have to say to us who are Christ's the Lord?  Justice will say that all who repent, believe and love the Lord Jesus with all their hearts, that Jesus: "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness... that he might bring us to God."[2]

        Therefore, to all who have been assured of this, of the Name of Jesus Christ, knowing He never fails us, will you stand together with me, and Love His Name; thanking Him every day in confident joyful faith, for dying for our sins, eternally cleansing us, when He did not have to, freely translating us all into the Kingdom of His love and His Father's love, Amen! 

 

Again, may all adoring hearts be given to Jesus Christ, forever. Amen!
