God's Love Comes Through Christ

God Reveals Himself through Christ

            (Jesus) “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30, ESV)

God reveals himself to us - - who he is, what his Being, His will, plans and purposes in heaven and on earth for his creation, both humans and the created world and everything in it. On the other hand he also reveals what he requires of man which has a bearing on their well-being and destiny.

This is the true meaning of what Bible scholars and theologians are telling us: the truth – the absolute truth. It is found in the word of God, i. e., the Scriptures. What is truth? Truth defines everything in this life – visible and invisible, natural or supernatural, physical and spiritual. It's God's world. He is sovereign for He owns it.

God wants us to know all truth that he reveals in his Word, i.e., Christ, the Word of God. For this knowledge, understanding and acceptance of the truth will immensely benefit us. For He loves us. To be sure, it’s for our own good ultimately, although it can only be good for us if we practice righteousness. For righteousness pleases God. On the other hand, it is not beneficial for us to think, plan and do evil things. God’s word says we are not created to do these things.

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments are God’s will for us. They direct us toward righteous thought, motivation and behavior. Doing his will brings peace and safety to our being, creating no troubles or difficulties or miseries in our lives. He favors us in turn with the delights of our hearts.  He will work out every circumstance for good in your home, at work, at business place and even of mundane activities. He will provide the knowledge and wisdom you need to make the right choice or decision at any given time. 

In addition the material things – money and other resources – will be in your hands at the right amount and at the time they are needed.

On the other hand, he will supernaturally overrule your wrong decisions or those that lead not to the best benefit. 

Love is the Primary Motivation

            Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. (1 John 4: 7-9, NIV)

His selfless love for his creation – especially man – is the treasure of immense and incomparable value that the Bible is telling us that a man will sell everything he has just to get it. In other words, in having God you have found the greatest and unmatched love that sustains and nourishes a meaningful and fulfilling life. God’s children can have this treasure now in their lifetime and in eternal life. Death becomes just a temporary and restful transition between their present and afterlife.
