God is LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

As I was sitting in my quit family room this morning drinking my coffee, I was thinking about “God is Love” and how His great love fits what we read in the Bible and with what is going on in our world today. It is difficult to piece this together but I believe I understand how it does fit.

I thought about Adam and Eve.

I don’t know if there was actually a fruit they ate that opened there eyes to know what is good and evil or if it is just a way to show our downfall. What happened was that man began to judge. This judgment was putting self at the top. It didn’t care about others; it only cared about self and what was good for self and believing that what is good for self is good for others.

I guess this wanting to judge, or wanting to be god or be like God started with Satan or Lucifer as he was once called.

Isaiah 14:12-14

New International Version (NIV)

¹² How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
¹³ You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.^[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”

I thought about the great flood and what was going on then.

Genesis 6:2-5

New International Version (NIV)

² the sons of God (fallen angels …..) saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. ³ Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with^[a] humans forever, for they are mortal^[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

⁴ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. (the Greek gods maybe)

 

⁵ The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

I thought about Israel and what happened with them.

God chose Israel out of all the nations to show everyone about Himself and that His ways and His judgments are the ONLY way to have peace; but Israel lost site of what God is saying. At first, they wanted judges and kings to rule over them; they could see these humans but they couldn’t see God. They misunderstood the purpose of God’s teachings; the “Christians” call them laws. God's purpose is to show man's depraved state.

 

They started dissecting each law and tried to fit every possible thing that one might do into one of the teachings/laws so they would know how to live and what should happen with disobedience. What they have ended up with, is someone’s interpretations of the teachings/laws; I believe they call it the “Talmud”.

 

I thought about the “Christians”.

 

Since the time that Jesus the Messiah came into this world, the Christians have had their problems too. Looking back on some things of the past, I am almost ashamed to be in that group called Christians. There were such terrible things done by the Christians during the Crusades and other periods.

Today we have many different Christian faiths. It's because we interpret the Bible differently.

Islam and most likely all other religions are the same. Someone judges what is the truth and others jump onto that band wagon, so to speak. Depending on how powerful or how correct an individual or group deem themselves to be, it leads to bad things happening even into wars.

 

There are rumors of a great collapse of our monetary system that will soon take place. Personally, I believe this to be true. I believe that this is the destruction of Babylon talked about in the Bible.

Many people are doing things that they judge will save them, such as having gold or silver stored up to buy what they will need when our money becomes worthless. Have they thought about what the people who have nothing are going to do when they see those who have silver and gold? A good example is what’s happening today with the “hidden money” People are going into a frenzy trying to get it.

Some people believe that building their mighty fortress will save them. Have those people thought about what will happen when the ones on the outside see something inside the compound/fortress that they want or if they just want to get rid of it? Desperate people will do anything to get what they want and governing bodies will use great power to get rid of what they judge to be a problem.

My words to you are trust Father God during this; I know I will have to remind myself to do this too. Ask Father God to help us to do what is good and honorable in His sight in our dealings with others during this. Give God the praise for what He will do and what He has done.

Can you see what is going on here? I am the judge and not God.

 

So, where is God is Love in all of this?

The Day of Judgment --- the Righteous Judgment!

This is when Father God shows each one of us what our judging has done. You and I will grieve bitterly when we see this and wonder why in the world did Father God put up with us, with me, and not just get rid of us all. And God will say, “Because I LOVE you. The punishment you deserve, my SON, my beloved SON, paid for all of it; in full.”

AND THIS IS LOVE!.

 

 

What did Father God say when He looked upon His creation?

Genesis 1:31

New International Version (NIV)

³¹ God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

 

Some of you are going to ask, “Then what is “the Book of Life” all about?” These are the ones Father God chose at the beginning, for ever ago, to shed light on this wonderful plan of His. They will have already born their cross and will not be judged. They will have already gone through much, as Christ Jesus the messiah has done.
