God Loves You!

Grace is a simple message and over time people have complicated it.

The problem is the mixture of the law with grace.  Paul tells us that is a perverted message.

John 1:17 (KJV)

 ¹⁷For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Grace is knowing that God Loves you! In John 3:16 (KJV) the Bible says;

 ¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

When you understand how much God loves you, that is all you need.  All that God requires is for us to believe and yes it is that simple.  The limitations that we place on God are by what we choose to believe. 

Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)

 ⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

The gift that God gave because of his love for us is Jesus;

Jesus becoming a human, obeying the law on our behalf, died on the cross and took on all the sins, sicknesses, poverty of the world, His resurrection conquering death, and his soon return is the gift that God speaks of. 

While Jesus was in the upper room he also gave us a gift, the gift of Peace… In

John 14:27 (KJV)

 ²⁷Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Remember that when Jesus said "my peace" he spoke the Hebrew word Shalom which means Completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord.

I close with this… 

Live each day declaring over yourselves that you are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved!

God Loves You!
