KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (II)

*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.* (John 3:16 (AMP))

_Bible Insight:_

*The Love of God in the face of destruction* 

Let's begin with God's love vis a vis God's wrath. Apart from the love of God, an understanding of the wrath of God is key if an individual would be receptive to and fully appreciative of the Gospel! John 3:16 says so. 

It would be safe to divide the text into little parts-- 

--- God so loved the world 
--- that He gave His only son 
--- in order to give the world an opportunity to believe the son 
-- if they must be delivered from perishing 
--- and by so doing have everlasting life instead. 

When you look at this text carefully, it is easy to see that God's love was provoked by the danger that humanity stands in. Sin invited death or condemnation and this will cause men to live in everlasting death unless and until they believe the son of God. This makes it clear, God was moved to action because by His word, which He is bound to honour, all sinners are bound to end in His wrath-- unless they receive the son who He sent in love. 

There is an inseparable connection between the love of God and the wrath of God. Love paves the way to life, but the wrath gives the needed motivation to accept the offer of God's salvation.

Even the very word *salvation,* - which is inclusive of repentance- totally reveals what we escaped when we receive Christ- we escaped the wrath to come. 

Remain blessed. 
*MEDITATION*
*And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.* (Luke 3:6-8 (KJV))

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

As Jesus or As yourself?*

*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B
