“People on earth may think there are several different races on earth according to skin color and other traits, etc. We know about those physical differences. Which, all of these various differences are a blessing to the whole of humanity! I’m glad we are all different! Aren’t you?
But, regardless of all that, in reality, there are only two races on the earth. The decedents of Adam (the fallen race), and those who are in Christ (the re-created race). A person has the eternal life of God through Jesus, God’s Son, or he doesn’t. One father or another. One lord or another. One family or another. Part of one kingdom or another. So, no matter what the skin color, etc. is, there are just two races!
The spiritual death that is imbedded in the race of Adam means separation from God’s eternal life. Jesus came to bring us His eternal life with God. Anyone can instantly escape the fallen family and be born into the family of God through faith in Jesus. Anyone, anywhere, anytime! God is not restricting anyone from His Kingdom. To receive His free gift, He requires everyone to come into the Kingdom through faith in His Son, Jesus!
God’s grace and love is openly displayed in Jesus! The expression of the depth of God’s love for us is the gift of Jesus! God is not against the fallen family. In fact, He came for us while we were all still His enemies. Before we even knew, He provided what we needed.
The fallen family are very busy, busy, busy, pursuing their various individual worldly agendas. Going about doing what they think is important. Yet, missing THE most important thing they can understand! The world is constantly changing. Everything is so fast paced now. The world is a smaller and smaller place because of the instant communication we have now. The truth is, our time on earth is very short–even if we were to live 150 years. People everywhere must realize, we all need Jesus!
Without Jesus, we stay in the death family. It is by our own choice that we reject God. It is not His will that anyone would perish, but all come into His eternal life through Jesus. But, we all have a will of our own, don’t we! All of mankind are god creatures, created originally in the image and likeness of God! But, do we have His eternal life?
Jesus came to bring us eternal life because we didn’t have it! We were abiding in death NEVER to escape! But now, because of the good news, we have been shown God’s provision through Jesus to take on His eternal life through faith.
Why don’t more people realize why they are separated from God’s life? Because they are blind to the truth! Because of the fall of man in the beginning! As the human fallen family of Adam, we lost so much understanding about a whole bunch of things.
After the fall in the beginning, we are now only able to access a small percentage of our total brain power capacity. We have little or no understanding about the fact that we are a 3 part being. Soul, spirit, body. In reality, we are in touch with 2 realms all the time. Do we know this truth? Or understand it?
But, why are we so dull to the spirit realm we are part of? Because we were not created like this in the beginning! We were created perfect with no partial sight or understanding in the beginning of mankind.
We fell into darkness and deception. Loosing much of our understanding about ourselves and about God. We were born again into satan’s family of death–separated from God. That is why Jesus came. There is no other way on earth that will bring you out of death into God’s eternal life!
In Jesus we find that our standing with God is sound. He has made us perfect inside. Though we still have partial sight in this life because of fallen bodies, we now live by faith in Jesus and not by sight. We go by what Jesus says.
Every person needs Jesus! No matter what you do in life, you need to open your heart to Jesus. Let Him come in and change what you cannot change. He is the answer to the death and separation from God! For all humanity! There is no other door out of death! Jesus is the door! From the place of destruction, Jesus is our bridge to God. He has done the impossible and redeemed us out of the devil’s iron grip of death! Praise His Name forever! Jesus is humanity’s Savior!
What happens when a person receives Jesus for themselves? God’s life comes in to their eternal spirit. They are completely changed. The old is gone. The new has come. That which was separated from God and abiding in death suddenly is infused with God’s eternal life! It’s about our faith in Jesus! What He did!
Jesus defeated death and gave us His very own life! To all who will receive Him! It is a free gift from God. It is so magnificent that we can’t work or do anything to achieve it or try and make ourselves this way! It is the work of God inside of us.
It is through faith we receive Jesus. When we do, our whole insides change! From the fallen, death doomed, separated condemned person to suddenly becoming infused with the life of God! Becoming born again into the Kingdom of God through our faith in Jesus!
It is an instant transformation in our spirits through the Holy Spirit who came on us and performs this miraculous work. We can’t ever do it. But, only God can with our permission to receive Jesus! It is here now for ALL who want to live and not die!
We know that our bodies did not change when we received Jesus. Our bodies still remain death-doomed because of sin. We know that we have the Holy Spirit in our spirits because of our faith in Jesus! But, this body is still connected to a fallen world filled with things that are against God!
We were by nature God’s enemies. But, now, in Christ, we are God’s very own family! Even though we are still here abiding temporarily in these fallen death-doomed bodies. We have the life of God in our spirits!
The real person is the soul of man or woman, not the outward seen person. That is just our earthly body that someday in the future will be changed to be like the body of our Lord Jesus! Immortal. Everlasting. Joined with God forever!
That is what the child of God has to look forward to! A brand new body! One that will never die! One that never gets attacked with sickness or disease! One that flawlessly flows with our born again spirit and does what we want! It is coming for the child of God! The person who doesn’t have Jesus does not have this promise from God. Though it is openly available to each person.
The real question is, why haven’t you received Jesus already? There is no good reason. If you consider what Jesus has done for you, why do you not receive Him? It’s free!
You can receive His eternal life today! Right now! By an act of your will. Decide to receive Jesus! Turn your back upon what was before! Give Jesus your life! Let Him show you how good He really is! How much He loves you!
There is no place you can go anywhere in the universe to find a greater love than God’s love! He has given everything for you! That is how valuable you are to Him! Won’t you ask Jesus into your heart today? This present evil world is passing away. But, you don’t have to! Though your body is presently death-doomed, you can have His life! Never to be separated again! Knowing you are right with God! Knowing you have Jesus! It is the best!
You can rest assured His Word is true! You are redeemed! You are God’s own child now! You are no longer condemned with the world! You do not belong to this world anymore! You are God’s own! With His Spirit dwelling in your spirit all the time!
When you have Jesus, you have the eternal life of God within your own soul and spirit! Ready for heaven all the time! Never to fear death again! Praise Jesus! It’s all because of Him! This free gift of eternal life is to all who will receive Jesus! I am so glad that I received Him long ago. Never have I regretted hooking up with Jesus.
I have thought many times that He may have regretted hooking up with me, but He knew what He was getting before I received Him. So, He was not surprised at all my mess ups. And, Jesus wanted me anyway! Same with you! He already knows all about you. And, He wants you anyway! That is how much He loves you!
Jesus takes us as we are! We don’t try and clean ourselves up and change things before we receive Him. We give ourselves to Him as we are! Usually, we give Him big mess! But, Jesus is not intimidated at all of what we have done. He takes us right where we are and begins to direct us into His best for us in this present life!
The relationship we have now with Jesus is unlimited! The limits we have on us is not from Him. It is through our faith in Jesus that we can realize His best in this present life. You may think that the things you are involved with are important. And, I’m sure that they are. But, my friend, there is NOTHING more important than you knowing you are In Christ!
You need to put all the other stuff aside and look at where you are with God. THAT is what is REALLY important! The most important thing! Get your priorities right! Make sure of your position with God! Do you have Jesus or not? That means, do you have eternal life in your spirit or not!
Since this life is so temporary, we do not know how long we get to stay on earth! People wrongly assume they will be down here indefinitely. The reality is, they won’t. And, yet, they are thinking about and doing things that do not matter in terms of eternity! So, they are thinking about worldly stuff while their spirit is abiding in death.
And, sometimes, they find themselves in an accident, or sudden physical attack, or calamity of some kind that takes them out early. And, suddenly, their earthly life is over. And, they find themselves in another place! We know this is true! It can happen down here, and we know it does all the time! And, yet, they are not right with God! Never receiving Jesus’s eternal life! Still abiding in Adam’s family of separation and death!
Well, that is NO place to be when your life is over, dear one! And, do you know how long your life really is on earth? Why don’t you give your life to Jesus? It is your choice! I am encouraging you to receive Him. Let the other things happen as they may. When you have Jesus, everything is going to turn out okay.
Without Jesus, everything is NOT going to turn out okay! But, since you are a god creature, you can choose what you want, and, what family you want to be part of. As you read this today, I pray you choose Jesus! I pray you choose eternal life!” KF KenFletcher.org
