FAITH CAPSULE: The gift of God for all not to miss heaven when the trumpet sounds.
1 John 4:1-42
The gift of God for all is to inherit eternal life.
The gift of God to all is an indescribable gift!
The gift of God is yet to settle in for many to receive or believe fully accepting the gift.
The gift of God that is received, living for God is evidence of one that unwraps the gift of God.
All should understand and know the indescribable gift of God to appreciate the gift of God.
All must be meditating day and night that God wants all to inherit eternal life and not be a victim of failure, not have eternal life.
Jesus alone is the indescribable gift of God.
Jesus revealed Himself as the gift of God when a Samaritan woman had an encounter with Jesus.
John 4:10 documents, “Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
God, the giver of all good, expects all to give back to Him in appreciation. All should give back to God an unconditional love for His gift because He is a jealous God.
To love God is to fear God by doing good all through, to the glory of God. Claiming to love to fear God is living obediently to the command of God.
Apostle Paul points out that the purpose of the commandment is to love God.
1Timothy 1:5-6 records, “Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk.”
Paul was talking about the love that counts before God.
Love before God is love that is worthy to provoke the attention of God to acknowledge obedient ones for His good.
Today ask yourself, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life.”
It is a crucial question to be holding all, provoking all for doing good at best and not at less before God.
Living a righteous life is a command from the word of God, doing at best before God.
The word of Jesus speaks to all, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:20)
The scribes and Pharisees know about the word of God.
Did they live life according to the word of God?
Are you an acclaimed believer of God with the word of God in the head, with no mind occupied by the word of God, and far from God?
Live life for God, and embrace the indescribable gift of God.
Know and understand not to miss eternal life.
Prayer for today: Ask to enable living life for God and not to miss eternal life.
