Prayer in Jesus Name:

 1 Thes. 5:17

Pray without ceasing.

 Heavenly Father, I come to you this day in the Name of  Jesus Christ the Righteous.  My prayer is this,  that the words of my mouth would reflect your Unconditional Love.

 1 Peter 4:11

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 That all the people who read this would come to know and understand the Love of God with their minds.  That they would believe in their hearts what the Bible has revealed concerning the Birth, the Death and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I pray that they would accept with their heart that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, and is alive again.  So that those who would believe on His Name would receive eternal life instead of eternal death.  In the name of Jesus Christ I pray A-Men:

 John 5:24

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Opening Scripture:

 John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 Thank the Lord God for the Salvation that he gave to all those who have believed on the Name of Jesus Christ His only begotten Son.

 John 3:17

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

 Praise the Lord for his Love that he showed toward all people, giving them a means of escaping the wrath of God to come.  For all who refuse the Son of God will feel the Wrath of God upon them in the end.

 Hebrews 2:3

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

Exhortations by the Holy Spirit:

 Romans 5:8

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

 This last Scripture, is the essence of the Title of this News Letter.  God  fulfilled his Unconditional Love on the Cross of Calvary where His Son Jesus Christ died for the sins of us all.  His death was the expression of how great the Love of God is for all of humanity.

 John 15:13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

 I have heard this saying for many years.  I do not know who or where it came from, and it goes like this. “A Friend in need is a Friend in deed” . . .   The Love of God is so great toward us that he has called us his friends, and died for us all.

 James 2:23

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

 This is how the Lord proved his Love for us all.  He died for the sins of all of humanity, and God brought him back to life again to give eternal life to all those who would believe on him.

 Ephes. 2:4,5

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, [5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

 The Grace of God, is in essence the fulfillment of his Love.  You might say why?  Because, it is something that we do not deserve.  Nevertheless, Grace is something given right from the heart of God as a gift.

 Ephes. 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

 The Love of God that we receive from God is our only hope.  You might say what is hope?  The Love of God is our only hope of spending eternity with Jesus Christ after this life is over.

 Romans 5:5

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

 You might say I have that kind of hope.  I’m a good person.  I do good things for others.  Or you might say I belong to a Church, and attend regularly.  Those things in themselves are good, but without being Born Again you will not enter the Kingdom of God.

 John 3:7

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 The only way of having the Love of God living within is to be Born Again.  For without that Love in your heart you will have no Hope.  Before a person is Born Again he is without God in his heart,  and without God he will have no hope.

 Ephes. 2:12

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

 You must understand that it was the Love that God had for humanity that impelled Jesus to come down to earth and redeem us from eternal death.  The Lord came to earth to tell us that we must be born again of the Spirit and of Truth to see the kingdom of God.

 John 3:1,3

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 Once a person accepts the teachings of Christ, and accepts Jesus as their Personal Saviour and Lord.  That is when a transformation will take place within the mind and heart of the person.  Right then God transforms them into the Son’s and the Daughters of God, no longer the property of the world.

 Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 After we are, transformed God  imparts to us the same Glory that he gave to Jesus when he came down to earth to live and be our example.

 John 17:22,23

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

 The Glory that the Lord is speaking of here, is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit living within the heart of all born again believers.

 John 15:26

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

 The Holy Spirit then lives within the heart of all born again believers.  He is the essence of the Love of God given to us. He empowers us to live and walk a holy life without fear.

 Luke 1:74

That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

 God loves his creation so much that he made a way through Jesus Christ that humanity could become right in the eyes of God.

 John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 When we come to Jesus Christ, the Father fills our hearts with Love and we find that we can conquer just about anything that comes our way.

 Romans 8:37

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

 The Love of God will and can give us the motivation to try new things, even to do something that we were too afraid to do before we became born again

 2 Tim. 3:17

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

 God expressed His Love for all of humanity by sending, his only begotten Son to die for the sins of all humanity. He also expressed his love for humanity by bringing his Son to life again that he might give us everlasting Life.

 1 John 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

In Closing:

 This News Letter has opened up the Word of God and revealed to us what manner of Love God has showed toward us.  That is why we must look at our own hearts and if that same kind of Love abides within or not.  Are we willing to give up those things that are not pleasing in the sight of the one that died for us?  If we cannot answer yes, then we must look toward the Cross of Calvary.  To see that the death of Jesus  Christ was the Sacrifice for our sin.  His Resurrection was the means for us to attain  everlasting Life in the presence of God forever.   The essence of this Letter is.  Do you know that God Loves you personally?  Are you Born Again?  Does the Love of God  truly abide within your heart?  If you can say yes to these questions, Praise the Lord.  However, if you cannot, please pray that God would reveal the truth to your heart.  Then read the Gospel of John and the Book of Roman, and God will reveal to your heart the Truth.

 John 16:24

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Closing Prayer:

 I would like to Pray for all those who could not answer  yes to knowing the Love of God. That they would submit to the will of God and accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord of their lives.

 Acts 2:21

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 Those who know the Love of God I pray that they would grow and love others as much as God Loves’ them.  In the precious name of Jesus Christ I pray, A-Men:

 2 Peter 3:18

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
