*John 14:23 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)*
*23 Jesus answered and said unto him, “If a man love Me, he will* keep My words; and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him and make Our abode with him.
This song is contemporary but so very true. We who believe know it is. We know what it was like when we did not believe or when we slipped and fell away. But our Lord and Savior ALWAYS forgives. He forgets too.
He gives us every chance to be saved. We deserve to spend eternity in a hell we created by our own hands and mind. However because Jesus died on the Cross, shed His pure blood and rose again from the dead we all have eternal life with Him in paradise to look forward to.
To Christians passing away is just transitioning from this hard, cold, dangerous world to our new FOREVER HOME with God the Father and God the Son.
We CAN NOT EARN this peace. it is freely given and believing and loving the Lord with your heart, mind and might is the only thing necessary to have it. When we say God's Peace, we are saying, I pray you believe and are saved. If you do not know the Lord Jesus and want to learn more, let me know. Anyone can come to Jesus with a repentant heart and pray forgive me Savior, I have sinned.
With that belief and the Holy Spirit given you thru baptism you too can become richer than ANYONE in the world. Once you know Jesus, you need not worry about your future. He will be there for you forever and ever. May God bless and keep you always.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
