RECEIVE JESUS

But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12 The Bible is filled with promises for those who love God. Hundreds of times God reiterates the benefits and rewards both in this life and our eternal inheritance. Many inheritance is in the bible and the children of God are not claiming it at all. These are there to show and prove to us that God does indeed loves us. God continuously expresses His love towards us in so many ways. He even showed it by allowing His only begotten Son to be beaten and stabbed and nailed on the cross for us. Just because of His great love for us. Since we know that God is seeking our good, we are then freed from our self centered world view and can then put our focus on expressing our love towards God. Almost always, God gives a command with a promise. We do not have to ask for the promises, God has already stated His desire to give us what He promised. Do not struggle for anything. Just do the right thing and all of those promises will be yours. We need to ask God to work within us so that we can do His will and keep His commands. God has expressed the depth of His love towards us so that we can have confidence to die to ourselves and seek God's will. We give ourselves and seek God's will. We give ourselves to God knowing that He has given and continue to give of Him to us. John 3:16 says: For God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten son that who so ever believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life. Now the present question is, are you willing to love God to accomplish His plan in your life and rest in the confidence that God already has provided for your satisfaction. Seek God's kingdom and His righteousness and He will prove His promises to you.
