LOVE LETTERS FROM GOD!

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, THAT HE WROTE TO YOU!

God wrote to you, to inform you, of His love for you, by inspiring men, through the Holy Spirit, to write to you, His Holy Bible. He wants you to perceive Him as your Father. He wants a Father and son/daughter relationship with you. But how can He accomplish this, since you cannot see Him?

The Gospel was written in the form of letters, they are called Epistles. These letters were read in the church houses and other places, to the members of the Body of Christ, because the Apostles could not always be there in person. Most of the time they were in and out of prisons and always traveling to other locations to spread the Gospel. So, the letters were a means of letting the believers know, how much God loves them, encouraging them to stand strong during persecution and trials, explaining God's plans of Salvation, confronting and correcting errors being taught, and warning believers of false teachings, etc.

     1 Peter 1:20-21 NIV Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

     You have got to stop seeing the Holy Bible as just a book. It's full of Love Letters, from God to you. He knows you already, He created you.

Psalm 139:13-16 NIV For You created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful; I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the Earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.

Without the Love Letters, the Holy Bible, you would have never heard of your Creator. Since the beginning of the Holy Bible, Satan and men have tried to destroy its existence. Why you ask? Because if it did not exist, you would never get to know Him, and His plans for your life.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV All Scriptures is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correction and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

But where is the proof that God inspired the Holy Bible? The answer is in the fulfillment of prophecies. Isaiah was one of many prophets in his time. He wrote of the coming Messiah, seven hundred years before it happened.

Isaiah 7:14 NIV Therefore, the LORD Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a Son and will call Him Immanuel. (means: God with us) Fulfilled Matthew 1:23

Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV For us, a child is born, to us, a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace. Of the increase of His government and peace, there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. Fulfilled John 3:1

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, THAT HE WROTE TO YOU!

Isaiah also informed us of why God gave His only begotten Son.

Isaiah 53:4-7,12 NIV Surely, He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds, we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep, before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth. 12. Therefore, I will give Him a portion among the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He poured out His life onto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. FULFILLED Matthew 27

Why did God have His Son to die for you?

Because He loves you, and He wants to be reconciled with you.

2 Corinthians 5:17-6:1-2 NIV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. As fellow workers, we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For He says, “In the time of My favor, I heard you, and in the day of Salvation, I helped you.”

I tell you; Now is the time of God's Favor, Now is the day of Salvation!

**Reconciliation: In Scripture, the means by which sinners are reconciled and brought into a state of favor with God, after natural estrangement or enmity; the atonement.

God is asking you, to believe and accept, His free gift.

Just BELIEVE Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose again.

ACCEPT the gift of SALVATION….. and all your sins will be forgiven.

**Believe: To accept something as true, genuine, or real. To have a firm or wholehearted conviction or persuasion: to regard the existence of God as a fact.

Isaiah 1:18 NIV “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, HE WROTE TO YOU!

Please say these words. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was in Heaven and came down to Earth. Jesus died for my sins on the cross, was buried, and rose in three days. Now, Jesus sits at the right hand of God. I invite the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart and mind so He can start making changes today.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
