Jesus, God’s Best

God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that He, God, may glory in the inheritance of the saints. God acted to redeem man, bringing him to fullness before Him (John 3:16). Imagine that! God rejoices in His creation, man, that believes in Him. Believing God activates your faith appetite. The more you feed on His Word, the greater it grows. His love has been perfected in us, the believer, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

Be transformed

See, God can’t bless mess! He had to change man from a sin state to righteousness, which Jesus has done for the believer (2 Corinthians 5:21). Living in that awareness produces boldness in Christ Jesus’s finished works at the cross. God worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in heavenly places (Ephesians 1:20). When we approach God, He sees Jesus, not us. His seeing Jesus means that He sees us only in love; therefore, we can come boldly to the throne of grace. Jesus is the grace that meets the righteous requirement (2 Corinthians 5:21).

As He is, so are we 

We have the seat Jesus has at the right hand of the Father. When we come to the Father knowing we are in Christ Jesus. Faith and doubt cannot coexist. It is a question of what are you feeding your measure of faith? Are you feeding on unbelief? The best way to tell what you believe is to check your heart. Jesus said, “Let not Your heart be troubled (John 14:1).

Let not your heart be troubled or afraid

To see the heavenly Father, look at and study Jesus, our redeemer. One of the disciples, Philip asks Jesus to show them the Father; Jesus’ response to Philip requires a moment of pause to take it in; Jesus, paraphrasing; said, man! I have been with you all this time, and you haven’t seen Me? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. Do you not believe I am in the Father and the Father is in Me (John 14:9)? Check out John 14, which opens with Jesus comforting and encouraging the disciples, “Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God also believe in Me.”

Jesus, speaking is God talking to you!

Study Jesus, our High Priest, to see your heavenly Father’s heart for you. Jesus said, “I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me. The words I speak to you I do not speak on My own, by the Father who dwells in Me does the works, My Father and I are one (John 14:10 and John 10:30).” 

Both the Father and the Son love you beloved!
