BELIEVE AND BE RESTORED

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Isreal after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. Hebrews 8:10 When God created man, He gave him dominion over all the earth. See,there are two ways that Jesus takes dominion: By force or by love and sanctification. By force-the forces of darkness are put down by force and placed under Christ feet in victory. In other words, those humans who refused to acknowledge Jesus as Lord and saviour will at some point in the future, be forced to bow to the domination of Jesus and all evil spirits will also be forced to bow to His dominion. On the other hand with the church, Jesus exercises dominion also through love. When God sent His Son to pay the penalty for our sin, He gave one basic command: "Believe" John 3:16. Those who do not obey this final command are condemned to an eternal seperation; those who believe are restored unto God's family and receive a new and lasting covenant. God has now written His laws into our heart and has promised to guide us in His wonderful plan. When we face temptation, loneliness, fear, or frustration, we can be comforted in knowing that God is already clearing a path for us to walk, a path that leads us unto Him. We only need to believe and be restored. As you believe in the finished work of Jesus, may your salvation remain permanent in Jesus name.
