The Love of God (2)




What is the Love which Christ gave to us?

John 13:1 "It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love."

What is the name of the Feast held right before the appointed time for Jesus betrayal? The Passover (Lk 22:13, Mt 26:17, Mk 14:22). Christ shed his blood on the cross to give us eternal life. Not wealth and a good life on this world but the hope for the Kingdom of Heaven through his precious flesh and blood.

Some people say "We are saved by grace" Then we need to understand what is grace according to the bible:

Ephesians 1:7 "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

GRACE = FORGIVENESS OF SINS = PASSOVER (Because it is the only Feast through which our sins are forgiven).

Jesus said if we love him we will obey what He commands (Jn 14:15, 21, 23) and hear what he says (Jn 8:47). However, there are also those who have their self righteousness and claim to beleive in God and yet they want to follow God in their own way. This can't be because we need God, God does not need us, therefore, we should follow God and keep all of His commandments even if they do not seem favorable to us.

Now that we know that the True of Love of God is eternal life which he gave us through the Passover, we need to understand one very important thing.

Why did Jesus Christ say that eternal life will only be given at the last day? (John 6:39,41,43,54)

Please come back for our next post to find out the reason why He promised eternal life only at the last day. May Elohim God bless you and open your spiritual eyes to see the Truth of the Living God Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who is to forever be praised, AMEN!
