The whole Gospel!

Get over it! You are a Sinner! Everyone is bad there is none who seeks God-no not one! Everyone of us have done what is wrong! There is no denying it. But the goodness of God is that He had His Son take the our punishment. He was beaten, whipped into critical condition, by the time he was nailed to the cross, he was close to death, forsaken of God! He took all that punishment for our badness so that we can stand in rightousness before God. That is the Supreme love of God-that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!! Turn from what you know what is wrong and turn to God and trust Jesus for your salvation from not just from hell but from your sin that sends you there! God wants you! He wants to forgive you isn't that amazing!?

Take up your cross, deny yourself and follow Jesus

With a love so captivating from God of the universe, he deserves no less than to deny all that is wrong or evil and do what He tells you even if it hurts you prove your love for Him. Pray without ceasing. Praying is talking with God. Tell him everything and talk to Him. 

Not only Beautiful but His desire, His love, His Bride or His Romance!

I delight greatly in the LORD;
       my soul rejoices in my God.
       For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
       and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
       as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
       and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Is 61:10
As a young man marries a maiden,
       so will your sons marry you;
       as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
       so will your God rejoice over you.
Jesus frequently referred himself as the Bridegroom!

Through Jesus, God makes us beutiful!

The LORD their God will save them on that day
       as the flock of his people.
       They will sparkle in his land
       like jewels in a crown.
Zacharia 9:16

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Peter 2:9

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:9

God not only loves you but wants you!

I will betroth you to me forever;
       I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,
       in love and compassion.

 I will betroth you in faithfulness,
       and you will acknowledge the LORD. 

I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one.
       I will say to those called 'Not my people, ' 'You are my people';
       and they will say, 'You are my God.'

Hosea 2:19-20,23

O God, you are my God,
       earnestly I seek you;
       my soul thirsts for you,
       my body longs for you,
       in a dry and weary land
       where there is no water.

 I have seen you in the sanctuary
       and beheld your power and your glory.

 Because your love is better than life,
       my lips will glorify you. 

Psalm 63

The LORD your God is with you,
       he is mighty to save.
       He will take great delight in you,
       he will quiet you with his love,
       he will rejoice over you with singing."

Zephaniah 3:17

Closer to Heaven when there is love!

What a fitting thing to say! God commands us to love. If we love and have no resentment of hate we are in the Life. Love is what it's all about! The love of God was demonstrated when he sent His ONLY son to take our place that we so much deserve. Jesus is God's dearly beloved Son that He gave up for us! That is how much He loves! Would you give up your only beloved child for someone else's guilt? That is what God did for each and everyone of us!!

But He forgives and gives us eternal hope!

 1 Who has believed our message
       and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
       and like a root out of dry ground.
       He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
       nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

 3 He was despised and rejected by men,
       a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
       Like one from whom men hide their faces
       he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

 4 Surely he took up our infirmities
       and carried our sorrows,
       yet we considered him stricken by God,
       smitten by him, and afflicted.

 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
       he was crushed for our iniquities;
       the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
       and by his wounds we are healed.

 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
       each of us has turned to his own way;
       and the LORD has laid on him
       the iniquity of us all.

 7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
       yet he did not open his mouth;
       he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
       and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
       so he did not open his mouth.

 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
       And who can speak of his descendants?
       For he was cut off from the land of the living;
       for the transgression of my people he was stricken. 

 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
       and with the rich in his death,
       though he had done no violence,
       nor was any deceit in his mouth.

 10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
       and though the LORD makes  his life a guilt offering,
       he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
       and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

 11 After the suffering of his soul,
       he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
       by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
       and he will bear their iniquities.

 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
       and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
       because he poured out his life unto death,
       and was numbered with the transgressors.
       For he bore the sin of many,
       and made intercession for the transgressors.
