The Message

1 Timothy 2:4-6

For He (God) wants everyone to be saved and to understand

the Truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can

reconcile God and people.  He is the man Christ Jesus.  He gave

His life to purchase freedom for everyone.  This is the message

that God gave to the world at the proper time.  (NLT)

     This message from our Lord God is a message of incredible Good News and it is for the entire world.  It's a message of hope and salvation that is available for every living person—a message of eternal life.  Our Savior wants no one to suffer the eternal condemnation that sin brings.   Because God is love, He despises the eternal consequences that sin brings to the people He creates.  So, God sent us Hope in a Redeemer; the Savior of the World—the Son who reconciled the relationship between God and man.  Because we are all-natural born sinners, we fall short of the holy standard God sets for us.  Sadly, ever since the devil deceived the first man and woman into disobeying God, this fallen world reeks of sin and thrives on everything wicked and evil. 

     There are many of us, including myself, who go through most of our lives unaware that we are living in sin.  And because of the abounding mercy and grace of our loving God, He pulls us out of the muck and mire of our sins and teaches us how to live a godly life. How awesome it is that we have a Redeemer and a Savior, who invites us to be cleansed and forgiven so we can live in fellowship with God.  And it is only by living in Christ Jesus, that you will no longer be controlled by the power of sin—sins that lead to eternal darkness and death.  Living in the Light of Jesus Christ exposes the lies and deceit that has enslaved our world in sin.  Live in the Light, my friends; be freed from the power of sin.

                                        A Whisper of Hope

I Am Truth…my child, the only One who cannot lie.  I do not change the truth to meet My needs like this world does.  Although the world is under the sedge of deception, where sin is pleasure and evil is good, there is Hope for those who hunger for the Truth.  And this hope is found in Me.

Isaiah 33:21-22

The LORD will be our Mighty One.  He will be like a wide river

of protection that no enemy can cross.  For the LORD is our judge,

our lawgiver, and our King. He will care for us and save us.  (NLT)

     If you do this, you will experience God’s peace.
