Oh no! Not another gospel message post! Why should I read it? Why does he keep writing these articles? Why does he keep writing about the basics of salvation and the gospel message and want me to read it? I already know it.
Hearts are often need of revival, so let’s speak more on God’s love, and then maybe they would believe, be happy, and be accepted by God and be saved. Many have been in the church for years without any apparent growth, and many have lost what they had in the past somewhere. They continue on in their passé Christian existence without knowing or remembering what they are missing. And you cannot slip a piece of paper between a lot of Christians and people who don’t know Jesus at all. Think that statement is too bold? Think again, it is sadly the truth in many cases. If you love Jesus you will never tire of hearing that *‘old old story of Jesus and His love.’ You will not think it bad that we are writing yet another post on God’s love and mercy for the world, and how you can obtain it, but you will want to hear it again and again!
*From the Hymn: “I Love to Tell the Story”, words by Katherine Hankey, Music by William G. Fischer.
We are trying to write startling articles, and books on God’s love, and how to please Him, to help people see their need of something better and get it. We are hoping that God can use at least one of these articles or books to convict you, and get you to see your need of a better life for God and get it, if you do not already have it. Do you have a new life from God right now? Then we are happy for you! Then you will not mind hearing that old old story one more time, of Jesus and His love! It will thrill your heart like nothing else can do! Don’t have it yet? You can get it, if you will pray for it and give yourself to God right now.
A song from the 60’s had it right about what the world really needs: * “What the world needs now, is love sweet love! It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.” Yes, this is true! But it’s the love of God that the world is so much in need of! This is why we are writing so much on this topic. There is no greater need! If we could just do one thing for this world that would make it a better place, that would be to get as many people as possible to see their great need of God’s love in their life all-the-way. Then they would have a different song to sing! They would then sing of Jesus’ love, instead of their need of love! There is no greater need for this world, than the love of God! The love of God surpasses all of our needed love from any human being. It is nice to have a spouse, family and friends that love us, but much better to have the love of God, who can never fail. The love of God, since it is the power of God, has the ability of changing you, and saving you, it’s not just a nice warm feeling. Only God can truly supply all of your needs that you have, including mate, family, and friends. He supplies this by giving you life and strength, and the ability of treating others with kindness and respect, so that they will love to be with you. You can never truly be happy until you personally know Him.
*From the song “What the World Needs Now” by Burt Bacharach, and Hal David.
When you know that God loves you because He told you so, you will have no more need that we should write to you of it. “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27 KJV. The anointing that John is talking about here is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in your heart, you will have no need for anyone to teach you about God’s love, for the Holy Spirit will reveal it to you! When you know God’s love for yourself, personally, that will make all the difference to you! Since God is love, 1 John 4:8, if you are listening to the Holy Spirit and desiring His presence and wanting to obey Him, He will be happy to tell you personally that God loves you, and He will!
There is no greater message than the gospel message that you need to hear. You may think that you already know it, but if you already know it, it should thrill your heart to hear it again and there will be a song of His love in your heart that you will sing to others. You need the gospel of Jesus and His Father’s love in your heart every hour of every day! Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:20-21 NASB.
The message of Revelation 3:18 is the whole meaning and purpose of our ministry. Jesus said, “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Revelation 3:18 KJV. Why do we have this message? Because God’s church of this age is characterized by lukewarm Christians. Revelation 3:14-17. This message is for us, because we are in the last church before Jesus’ second coming, the 7th church of Laodicea. God’s church must buy the gold tried in the fire from Jesus, and let Him clothe their spiritual nakedness, and allow the Holy Spirit to anoint their eyes that they may see, or else He will reject them! We want to help all of God’s people, regardless of which denomination or belief system they are found in or not; we want to help all break out of the lukewarm state, who would hear this message. The only solution to this lukewarm mediocre Christian state that much of God’s church is in, is for them to allow God to revive them, and receive the complete Gospel as stated in John 3:3, 5 and John 3:16-17. Simply stated, this is to become born again, born again by the water (baptism and forgiveness), and by the Holy Spirit, and to believe in Jesus the Son of God, who died on the cross for our sins. Unless you are born again, born of the water (baptism and forgiveness), and by the Holy Spirit you cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. John 3:5. It matters not what each of our individual problems are, the solution to all of them is the same, God’s love, mercy, and power to change.
So this is why we are writing of the essential truths of salvation. If you don’t get it, you are missing out on what God wants you to have, and will be spiritually naked until you get it from God. So what the world needs is the love of God in their heart every day! So until everyone gets it, we will keep writing on this topic, and related topics until everyone gets it or we draw our last breath. All of the truths in the Bible link together with this plan of Salvation, which is really the love of God for the world. So we will keep preaching of God’s love as long as we are able to, but then God will raise up someone else when this happens. Please hear God’s voice now, He is speaking to you. Accept His mercy and love while it may still be found, and have a new life with God! This is our prayer for you! Amen!

“But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 NASB. This text is so true. This is looking at the truth in a different way. We need to contemplate what this means, it is so important! Those who are walking in the light as God is the light will not be thinking that they do not need to be too concerned about their behavior or whether they are free from all enslavement and entanglement with the sins and things of this world. Many surround themselves with preachers and others who believe that they do not need to be concerned very much about their behavior or entanglement with sin and the things of this world, and little mention is made of the sinner’s need of walking in the Light of God, to repent and have a change made in them. And others think that they believe in ‘the truth’ while they are not walking in the Light and have not His abiding presence in their heart. It is every Christian’s privilege to choose to walk in the Light as God is the Light, whether they will listen to His sweet Spirit when He whispers to their heart or not.

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3:12-19 KJV.
So what is the cure for unbelief? Faith. Faith is the opposite of doubt or unbelief. Unbelief in what? Unbelief in the promises of God. The children of Israel had been given a promise by God that He would give them the land of Canaan and help them to possess it, if they would follow His lead. Caleb and Joshua told the children of Israel that they were well able to enter the Promised Land, that God would open the way for them and give it to them. But the 10 other unfaithful spies lied to the children of Israel about this, saying many discouraging things to them, so that they did not believe the promise of the Lord.

The righteousness of God is revealed to faith. Rom. 1:17. Faith is complete dependence upon the word of God, expecting that word to do what the word itself says. Is there, then, righteousness spoken by the word of God, so that people can depend completely upon that word, that the word shall accomplish what the word says? There is. Indeed, that is the very object of the gift of Christ.
