“Give thanks to the LORD for He is good, His love is forever.” Psalm 118:1.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I am forever, from everlasting to everlasting I am God. There is no other God. I made you, I sustain you, and I am faithful to you. You are My masterpiece. You are of Me. You belong to Me.
Even when the first man and woman rejected Me, I kept seeking to reconcile with you—to take you back into My heart as if sin had never been. Why? Because I am love. It is My nature, it is who I am, but there is more. It is the way I make plans and it is what My plans are made of.
“I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.” Isaiah 43:25
I so loved the world that I gave My only begotten Son so that all who believe in Him shall never perish but have eternal life. All My solutions are from love. Love, however, demands justice and in Jesus I took care of that for all those who will receive him. Love always finds a way to rescue, to save and to make whole.
Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 2:12-14.
And Mine was a way of singular justice. The one you rejected was the one who redeemed you.
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were begotten, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:11-13.
My love is FOREVER. You are safe with Me. I will never leave you or forsake you. If you will come to Me, I can fix things. If you shut Me out, I cannot.
This is the first FOREVER principal: You must return to Me to have FOREVER with Me.
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, “Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit (bullocks, the sacrifice of the priests for sin in spiritual sacrifice) of our lips.” Hosea 14:1-2.
“Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn Him (Jesus), but He will heal us; He has wounded Him (Jesus), but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him. So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; and He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and the former rain watering the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3.
Adam took the entire human race away from Me and gave his dominion and seed to the devil as his master and lord. When he rejected the imperishable Word of truth, from which he had been born, he, and all his seed after him, was born again from below of the perishable seed of a lie.
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44.
But in Jesus, My love has turned that around. In Him you can be born again from above.
And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24.
Let Jesus explain as He did to the Pharisee named Nicodemus who later became one of His followers.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:4-6.
And that is how you return to have eternal life, through the birth canal of My Word. First by the Blood, for your sins had to be removed, then by regeneration by the water of the Word, and then filled with My Spirit. The Blood, the Water, and the Spirit. And of My great and everlasting love for you testify these three: the Spirit, the Water and the Blood. Jesus came in blood and water. It gushed forth from His heart through His wounded side and birthed the bride, the Church. Just as I drew the bride from Adam’s side.
There is no condemnation now for those who are in Christ Jesus.
So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. Romans 6:18-19.
And in Jesus, I can keep you from the evil one.
We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:18-21.
I have prepared amazing things for those who love Me. But the only way to come is through Jesus, the new and living way that I have provided back to Me. He is the way of return who makes it as if sin had never been. And He takes you right into the Holy of Holies to My throne of grace.
But there were those who were unwilling to come. Do not let that be you. It would deeply grieve My heart.
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. I do not receive glory from men; but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. John 5:39-42.
Jesus came to undo the works of the devil and went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, but you must be willing to come out of the darkness into My own marvelous light. And the light should draw you, He is the light of the world. And I have anointed Him with the oil of joy as a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
“Draw me after you and let us run together! The king has brought me into his chambers.” “We will rejoice in you and be glad; We will extol your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.” Song of Songs 1:4.
In Jesus, I draw you to Myself with human cords and bands of love. Hosea 11:4. He draws all people to Himself. And He invites you, “Come to Me all you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you.” Matthew 11:28-30.
My Son told you the parable of the prodigal son. It is My story and it is your story. In Adam all men took their inheritance, left Me, and squandered everything I had so carefully put in your hands by giving it into the hands of the destroyer, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. You worked to ruin yourselves and the earth that I had created for you and given you dominion over. But I always provided you a way of return. By keeping My Word and the blood of the lamb. It was that way from the beginning. Abel knew to bring the lamb but Cain did not and slew him. But Abel is with Me.
But back to the parable of the prodigal son. I tell you that when his life became a drudgery, filled with the curse that Adam let into the earth, he remembered the abundance of My house and My generosity and goodness, and coming back to himself, that is, realizing what he had had and who he was, he repented and began the journey back home to My house. And seeing his heart turn back to Me was enough. I ran to welcome him back home.
The LORD appeared to me from afar, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” Jeremiah 31:3.
I took away his sin by sacrificing the fatty calf (the sacrifice for sin for the priest) and gave him the robe of righteousness and the covenant ring of authority. The sin was gone and the party was on! My love celebrates every sinner who repents and returns. You repent (you have a change of mind to change your conduct, that is, you come to your right mind), return, rejoice, and I restore and fill you with the Holy Spirit—eternal life. FOREVER. He never left My house again.
You must be born again from above to inherit the eternal Kingdom. You must return through Jesus to do that. In Adam, I lost you all. In Jesus, I gain you all. He died once for all, from the beginning to the end of time as you know it. And only those who have returned to Me through Him will be with Me forever in the eternal Kingdom of light.
I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you to be My own, I have drawn you with human cords (the humanity of Jesus), and made My Son one of your own, just to bring you home.
My love for you will never grow cold, never grow old, and never fail. It is an eternal flame, stronger than death, and unquenchable. It brought My Word down to take flesh and offer His eternal life in the flesh for the life you lost. He satisfied divine justice, which no descendant of Adam, and you all were of his line, could have done for not one had an eternal life to offer for the life lost. But Jesus, born from the Word, did.
When you come to know and believe in the love I have for you, it will set your cold, dead hearts aflame with living love and quicken your mortal bodies. My love for you is always fresh and new, it is always the joy and excitement of first love. I sing over you as one sings at festivals. Zephaniah 3:17. And right in the middle of My book, the Bible, is a song, and it is the Song of all songs. It is a love song. It is the Song of the Lamb for His bride, the Church, of which you who believe are a member. It is the song of the redeemer as He brings home the redeemed.
He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with joyful songs and a joyful shout. Psalm 105:43.
I love you. Return to Me, I have redeemed you FOREVER. In My Son, I have saved you to the uttermost, all because of the great love with which I have loved you even before you came to be. You were always in My heart and in My mind and you will be FOREVER. Come join the song of songs with Me.
And I saw like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb. Revelation 15:2-3.
