JESUS is Inclusive!

by Tonja Taylor
8/09/2022 / Salvation

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

The key here is "whoever believes," for Jesus died that all people may live the abudant life (John 10:10).

However, it is a choice to believe in the LORD, and humble ourselves to acknowledge that we need Him to forgive and cleanse and save us--for sin Adam and Eve fell, every human is born into sin--and destined for hell (once they become cognizant of their need for salvation through Christ, which is by faith only, and can never be earned by good deeds, or lack of evil!).

While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.--Romans 5:6, AMPC

Yes, Jesus is inclusive--He shed His pure holy blood for every person, to forgive every person of their sin! He is our Measure, our Standard. He is the Way, the Truth, the Life!

Whatever the LORD does is good, and the enemy twists it, to mock God and destroy people.

Everything changes in this world, except God and His Word.

6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.--Malachi 3:6, AMPC

Heaven and earth will perish and pass away, but My words will not perish or pass away.--Mark 13:31, AMPC

Through the shed blood of the LORD Jesus, spilled on the cross to pay for the horrible wrongs of every person, the Father God Who created us totally accepts us just like we are! Hallelujah!

If He didn't--if we had to first get "clean" to come to Him, then no one could! We could never do enough good works--or have a lack of evil works--to meet the standards of the Holy God!

Adam and Eve were perfect; holy and sinless, just like God, when He created them and talked with them in the Garden of Eden! But the enemy, the deceiver, entered in, and tricked them, and they chose wrongly to listen to him instead of continuing to believe God. This broke the covering and caused every human that will ever be born to be born with the sin nature.

So, instead of destroying man--which He could have--He instead chose to make the way for all people to come to Him and be forgiven, cleansed, healed, and restored to relationship with Him. Hallelujah!

10 And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through the offering made once for all of the body of Jesus Christ (the Anointed One).--Hebrews 10:10, AMPC

Like any loving Father, the LORD God wants us to return to Him! Just like we need to apologize for hurting our loved ones and others with whom we deal, we need to apologize to God! That is what "repentance" is, and it involves not just apologizing, but stopping wrong behavior and replacing it with right behavior.

For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death].--2 Corinthians 7:10, AMPC

The LORD helps us do this. He is so good!

So, why wait? A much better life is waiting for you in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! He will cleanse you, heal you, refresh you, reinvigorate you, free you, direct and protect, guide and provide for you, and more! Knowing Jesus is the best think you'll ever do! He is so patient and loving and kind and gracious, generous, faithful, and true! He is the best Friend you will ever have, and He will pray for you to the Father! (When are a Believer, you pray to God the Father, and it is really Jesus praying through you. Cool, huh?!)

Choose to believe this is true, and say this out loud: Jesus, I need You to please forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart and be my LORD and Savior. I receive You by faith, and renounce all the works of the enemy in my life. I thank You, and look forward to getting to know You. Thank you! Amen!

Now, congratulations! You are a new creation in your spirit (which is the eternal part of you; the part that lives forever, after your body dies; the part that is now one with Jesus Christ the Savior of the world!)!

17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!--II Corinthians 5:17, AMPC
