WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD; IN THE LIGHT OF HIS WORD: WHAT A GLORY HE SHEDS ON OUR WAY!


God’s Plan In Creation – His Glory

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in

Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having

predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of

His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” (Eph. 1:3-6 )

"God's sovereignty is first painful, then slowly powerful, and over much time seen to be profitable. It is to be studied with great

sensitivity for the experiences of others and deep reverence for the One who controls the outcomes of every matter in the universe.“

James MacDonald (In Gripped by the Greatness of God)


Father

“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

“Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” (Gen. 1:3)

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of

darkness into His marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9)

The essence of life


“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:10-12)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life,

and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:1-5)

Jesus was/is in the Father


“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17)

“And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him! Suddenly”, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.” (Mark 9:7,8)

Jesus is in the Father (John 14:11)


Man

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

“And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil

from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.” (Genesis 8:21)

“For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

Unregenerate Man Is Apart From Them (Father/Jesus)


“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle

and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

ManBelieve

Love

“giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and

conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the

firstborn over all creation. .” (Colossians 1:12-15)

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will

of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12,13)

When man responds to God’s love (believes in Jesus and repents of sinful life)


“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He

prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” (John 15:1,2)

believer

“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit

of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18)

“That you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.” (1 Thessalonians 2:12)

Believer now in Christ, but needs to be transformedinto the image (divinity) of Jesus Christ.


believer

“Do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom

and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His

power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the

church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all..” (Ephesians 1:16-23)

Believer now in Christ, but needs to be transformedinto the image (divinity) of Jesus Christ.


“Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion. O Lord God of

hosts, hear my prayer;

Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah (Stop!!! Think About This).” (Psalm 84:5-8)

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me

and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; (Acts 17:28a)


For Jesus Prayed and is still praying:“THAT THEY MAY BEHOLD

MY GLORY”

“That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. “Father, I desire

that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You

loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:21-24)


Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; (Acts 17:28a)


You might say – "Why do I have to know and experience this Jesus you are going on about?" Here is why, when and how you can get to know Him.

Admit your spiritual need. We all are sinners: nobody likes that title “SINNER”, but the bible says in Romans 3:23 that “all have

sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”.

What is the result of sin? In Romans 6:23 we read “The wages of sin is death…” in other words, every sin is another step

towards death. One thing that we need to remember is that God never sends anyone to hell; one can send himself there by rejecting the truth.

Since we can never measure up to God’s standards by our own strength; God has reached out to mankind.

In Romans 5:8 we read, “God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. It is Jesus, after all, who is the source of life’s greatest high.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to

condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:16-17).

What must a person do to accept this gift?

Most Importantly!!!!!


Simply receive it! Matthew 11:28 states –“come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me…for my yoke is easy and my burden is

light”.

Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me” Jesus stands at the door of your heart

and knocks, seeking entrance into your life to give you peace, change you for the best. John 1:12 says : “For as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God”.

If you haven't already received Christ as your Saviour, don't put it off another day! Take time right now to reflect on the state of your life, how does Romans 3:23 apply to you?

Ask God to empower you to see the true state of your heart – “The heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) then when enabled, invite Jesus into your life. Confess your sins. Receive His forgiveness and

the gift of eternal life. You might pray something like this:

Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner in need of a Saviour. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. Thank You for giving me eternal life. Help me to live my life in a way that pleases You, for whatever time You give me here on earth. I look forward to living forever in

Heaven with You. Amen.
