Why Are We To Believe That The Creator Of The World Loves Or Even Cares About Us? After All, If He Is

Why are we to believe that the Creator of the world loves or even cares about us? After all, if He is God and is so almighty and eternal, why should He care about us seemingly insignificant people(??) But no matter what you might think, please know that that it is not true. God is always on our side, and He is always pursuing all of us, and not only that - He is certainly pursuing YOU.

Regardless who you are or where you are in the world, God knows and cares all about your life. Even when you are at a low point and can’t see good, He is there still waiting patiently and seeking your attention. Maybe you sinned and made grievous mistakes and that sin has obscured your view of God. If you are unable to accept His love, then something in your life is missing The Apostle Paul said:

“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ; by grace, you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5

Think on this when you can’t accept that He is and has been seeking you. Not only you, but all of us from the beginning of time.

God gave His son Jesus to the world for all of us – and for you too. That sacrifice is love beyond measure and is immensely remarkable. That’s why God is pursuing you. He knows that we will sin and mess things up and He knows our strengths and our weaknesses...but guess what?!? Our failures and daily mistakes will never create a divider where God will forsake us. The Apostle Paul also wrote:

“Neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-29

When doubt comes that God has forsaken you, return to this promise and remember you can always return to Him no matter what because He created you and takes delight in you. You were born with a set of gifts that were meant to expand the mission of Christ and to enjoy the fruits of your labor. He is actually rejoicing over you!

“He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord is pleased and is happy that you are His! Never, ever forget this... God Is Always Pursuing YOU!

God Bless Your Day, Jesus Loves You

Modern science (which we are supposed to always trust and “Follow”) says that there was this “Big Bang,” and over billions of years a hot rock evolved into an orbit around the sun, cooled, formed primordial chemicals in a swamp and somehow, someway (that no one can explain...) 'life' began, and eventually all animals, plants and humans just 'evolved.' The Gospel of Darwin thus teaches that Darwin+Rock=YOU, and not that silly religious superstition you are a creation of God in “His Image” [ Genesis 1:26 ] If you follow and believe that line of thinking, then you believe your life is based upon a ROCK.

However there is another ROCK on which we are built ON and FROM, and that is Christ. As today’s scripture tells us, those lives that are built UPON (not 'evolved from') an inanimate rock will stand long after this third rock from the sun is long gone.

While the earth may be around a lot longer that you will, if your life is based upon the rock, which is Christ, when the storms of this life and the last storm of death beat upon you, then your foundation will eternally stand.

Friend, base your life on the TRUE ROCK which is Christ, because He is the only foundation that will last forever.

Is your life FROM a rock or built ON a Rock?

The world is in chaos, and everywhere we look today there is strife, uncertainty and the constant threat of war. People are looking for someone to step up and fix things, so a superhero seems like the perfect solution, and in our subconscious yearning, fantasy writers have given us this hope through characters like Superman, Batman and Ironman.

People flock to the idea of these superheroes because deep-down they want to see a mighty being that will save us from the world’s problems, and unfortunately, there IS a person coming that will do just that. He will proclaim that he is the savior of the world, and people — desperate for any superhero that can fit that role — will worship and adore him. That is a man is what the Bible calls the ”Anti-Christ.”

However there is only one true savior of mankind and it is not Superman, or Batman, or Ironman but THE SON OF MAN, JESUS CHRIST. When He returns to the earth, the Bible says that he will place all of His enemies under His feet and rule the earth in Peace.

If you are looking for a superhero, look no further. There is only one that is “THE ALMIGHTY” and that is Jesus Christ. Put your trust in Him. He is the only one that will SAVE THE WORLD...and He can and will save you too, if you ask Him too.

Long before cell phones, everyone had a telephone at home, and their name, address, and phone number was in a book published by the local phone company called “The White Pages.” So when someone wanted to reach you, you’d just tell them, “I’m In The Book!”

While the White Pages have long faded into history, there is another much more important book in heaven called THE BOOK OF LIFE, and in that book is written the names of all those that will one day be in heaven. As today’s verse says, not everyone’s name is in that book, because all those that are unworthy will not be allowed into heaven. So the question is, who are those that are WORTHY and those UNWORTHY, and which one are you?

God likewise, wants to reach you, and you must be IN THE BOOK and to do so, the Bible says:

“Do those things that will show that You have turned from your sins.” Matthew 3:8

This is what the Bible calls REPENTENCE, that is that you confess and admit that you are a sinner and are asking for God’s forgiveness. For many people this is not easy because they (maybe you?) don’t think you are that bad or that God is that unmerciful that your name isn’t automatically 'in the book' — but that is not what the Bible says! Only those that are found to be worthy are in that book and all those that are not worthy are not.

Friend, God cannot find you if your name is not IN THE BOOK, and there is no reason why your name should not be in it except you choose not to be in it. You can be worthy before God! Simply ask Him from a sincere and pure heart to forgive you of your sins, And He Will.

Is your name in the Book of Life?

Do you want it to be??

Although current events increasingly indicate a world falling into a downward spiral and becoming scarier all the time, we who read God’s Word have a different perspective.

Believers and disciples in Christ are astutely ‘awake’ in recognizing prophecies from the Old Testament that in this time and age are currently coming to pass. The headlines about epidemics, famines, political turmoil, financial uncertainty, wars and famines and more have all been prophesied to happen in these end times, but wait! The good news is that God is in charge and in control of everything! He always has been - because God is Sovereign, always consistent and never changing. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”

A fair question is “why has all this turmoil increased in the last 50-60 years?” and one of the best answers was when Newt Gingrich said “A country that has been now since 1963 relentlessly in the courts driving God out of public life shouldn’t be surprised at all the problems we have.” This is not only true in the US, but other countries as well. As God and His Word has been ignored and often denigrated, so has the world gone, and the result has been chaos. Yet still - God has a given us His plan in the scriptures.

Thousands of years ago the Bible gave us good news where it proclaimed and prophesied the following:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given the government will be on His shoulders…” Isaiah 9:6

That prophecy was fulfilled in the birth of Christ and the chaos will cease in the future when Christ comes back to earth and restores order out of chaos.

Jesus is The Word, and the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword! When you regard it as the final authority in your life, it will give you stability, safety and confidence when everything else around you gives way. Spend more time with it than the news and ask the Lord to give you His peace to settle the disturbing issues and deep concerns of this life no matter what you see around you, no matter what you may hear.

Make the Word your Shield of protection and the peace of God will fill you inside. You’ll be an overcomer and a strong example of faith to others who walk in fear.

There is no doubt that the ways of this world are extremely volatile and will get progressively worse, but determine in your heart and mind to live by faith, not by sight. Don’t let chaos enter your life, fearlessly commit yourself to the authority of God’s Word and there won’t be anything in this unstable world that can steal security from you!

Imagine that you could walk into the White House and Oval Office at any time unannounced to have an audience with the President, or to the Queen at Buckingham Palace or speak at the podium to the UN!?! Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? In this world yes, but in the court of heaven - NO! ... and today’s scripture verse tells us why.

Our Heavenly Father has an 'Open Door' policy! Just like your children can come up to your lap anytime and say “Daddy!”, we also can come to the feet of the LORD at the throne and talk to Him any time we want. You don’t have to make an appointment, be at a certain 'level of spirituality or holiness', rank, level, or title before God because He is always welcome to you at any day, time, or moment. All you have to do is approach!

Too many believers think that they have to act like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ pounding at the gates to the kingdom in order to have an audience with the Most High, but if you think about it, that is ridiculous for this reason.

The Bible says that the heavenly City of Jerusalem is fifteen hundred miles square and God’s temple is smack-dab in the middle of it, so pounding at the gates (which are already open!) doesn’t make any spiritual sense because those gates are MILES away from the throne. You might as well yell into a barrel!

If you want your prayers to be heard, then go boldly go to God’s Throne, Christian! Then let your prayers and petitions known, asking both in FAITH and according to HIS WILL and He will hear you!

His eye may be on the sparrow, but he watches – and wants to listen – to YOU up close and personal. Boldly go before the throne! He is waiting for you THERE.
