God is eternal--and eternally good!

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.--Isaiah 40:28, AMPC

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good—except God alone.-- Mark 10:18, AMPC

Only a God Who truly loves would forgive us all of our abominations and gross sins and all the ways we've missed His mark of holiness! He loves us and wants us to become His kids (by believing in Jesus Christ and His blood shed for us on the cross, to pay for and get rid of everything that would ever separate us from God, so He could adopt us and become our Heavenly Father! Hallelujah!) 

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—John  1:12 (AMPC)

Instead of punishing us, He chose in His unending, unchanging, agape (without conditions) Love to sacrifice His perfect Son, the LORD Jesus Christ, and have Jesus die on the cross for us to shed His pure blood to pay for all our wrongs!

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, AMPC

Our minds cannot comprehend it, but our spirits (created by helped by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God Who created all life, Genesis 1 and more), grasp this. 

Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.--Genesis 2:7, AMPC

God in His infinite goodness is merciful to the just and the unjust. Even when we were His enemies, He sent Christ to die for us! Hallelujah! How good is our God?! 

The blood of Jesus not only broke the power of every curse off our lives, but provided for us the Blessing of Abraham, where everything we need and want (according to the perfect will of God) is given to us, through an eternal blood Covenant! Hallelujah! 

We see this in Galatians 3:13-14 (AMPC):  Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit.

Through Jesus Christ, the enemy (the thief and destroyer and deceiver called satan the devil, who was made perfect, but chose to rebel against God even though he had no tempter, and was immediately thrown out of Heaven!) has been defeated forever!

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.--I John 3:8, KJV

This is a truth we must ascertain and receive for ourselves. The LORD helps us with this when we seek HIm. 

So the LORD came to rescue us from the devil and the darkness in this world! He came to give us amazing, abundant life; Heaven on earth, as much as possible--which was His Plan in the beginning, when He created the Garden of Eden! 

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.--Genesis 2:8, KJV

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).--John 10:10, AMPC

God is eternal, and eternally good. I've given you many proofs from the Bible.

More proofs are the fact that you're breathing and reading this right now, with strength and life and eyes and a brain that works--and the gift of reading that the LORD gave you also!

Every good thing in your life is from the eternal God, Who is eternally good!

Here's a secret: The more thankful you are, the more you will see God's goodness! Often, it is a choice. We have to choose to be thankful--not for every situation (for the devil tries to steal and destroy and otherwise cause trouble, but the more we know and follow God's Word and get rid of junk in our lives, the less he can trouble us!)--but in every situation.

We remember and are thankful that, no matter what's going on or how we feel, the eternal God loves us and is for us, and will, if we help and allow Him (for He is a Gentleman and never forces His will on anyone! That is why some go to hell, because they reject Him! It is not His choice, and hell was only created for the devil and the demons that were deceived by him!), He will work all things together for our best and His glory (Genesis 50:20, and Romans 8:28)!

The LORD gives us instruction on how to be thankful: 

¹⁶ Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); ¹⁷ Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; ¹⁸ Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].--I Thessalonians 5:16-18, AMPC

"For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night," says I Thessalonians 5:2, AMPC. 

Jesus the King is returning very soon to receive and take to Heaven with Him all who truly believe in Him. Are you ready?

If you have not been born again in your spirit by believing in the LORD Jesus Christ, you can do it right now! The eternal God Who is eternally good makes it easy! He loves you and wants you to have a wonderful life, so He can be your dear Daddy God, and you can be His precious child!

Say this prayer out loud: Dear Jesus, I know I have sinned against God, and I ask You to forgive me and cleanse me with Your blood, that You shed on the cross for me over 2,000 years ago--because You love me and want me to have a wonderful life! I renounce every work of satan in my life, and I ask that You come into my heart, Jesus, and be my Savior and LORD and very Best Friend. I receive You and thank You for it. Please teach me Your ways, deeply and quickly! Thank You. Hallelujah!

Now, if you just said this prayer out loud and meant it, the LORD Jesus has translated you from the putride, defeated, temporary kingdom of darkness, into the glorious, victorious, eternal Kingdom of Light--the Kingdom of God! The holy angels are having a party, rejoicing over you! 

7In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.--Luke 15:7, Berean Study Bible

Ask the LORD to show you the Bible-believing church to get involved in (and tune on online to Bible-based services and worship, too!), and to show you the right Bible(s) to read daily. There are also excellent online Bible tools like Biblegateway.com to use. He will help you!

Now, God is your Father and Jesus is your Big Brother, Heavenly Lawyer, Best Friend, and more! Congratulations for making the best decision of your life! 

Remember, the eternal God is eternally good!
