The GREATEST Lie EVER Told


The SECOND greatest LIE ever told is that there are MANY ways to get into Heaven. But GOD The SON -- CHRIST JESUS Himself -- proclaimed that HE Himself is the ONLY Way to Heaven. HE Himself said: "I AM The (ONLY) WAY (to GOD) and The (REAL) TRUTH and The (REAL) LIFE. NO one comes to The FATHER except THROUGH Me" (John 14:6, AMP). The LORD JESUS Himself is The DOOR, The GATE (see John 10:7,9) -- the ONLY Entrance to Eternal LIFE INto HIS heavenly Kingdom.

ALL other religions have in their teachings Salvation by "good" works. Muhammadans, Buddhists, Roman Catholics, Hindus, Mormons, Sikhs, Jews, Jehovah Witnesses have to do MUCH good works to offset their MUCH bad works from a lifetime of SINs. Man-made religions TRUST in their SELF-effort, in keeping the countless requirements of their religion and traditions, hoping but NEVER knowing if they've done ENOUGH good works to tip that great weighing scale in their favor on the Day of JUDGMENT.


Can ANY person truly, actually DO enough GOD-pleasing good works to offset his/her countless SINs committed during his life (from childhood to adulthood) -- his numerous SINs of UNrighteous, UNgodly THOUGHTS, WORDS, DEEDS? In REALity -- NONE has EVER lived a PERFECT godly and righteous life (see Romans 3:10-18). The GOD-Man CHRIST JESUS Himself is THE one and only exception to this universal FACT. For SIN-natured SIN-doers WILL continue to choose to pile up SIN after SIN after SIN in their Life-101. HOW MUCH good works will ATONE for ALL these SINs? HOW MUCH good is GOOD ENOUGH to gain entrance INto GOD's heavenly Kingdom?


The GREATest LIE EVER told -- and STILL being told TOday -- is this: "I am a GOOD person. Because I am GOOD, I will go to Heaven when I die." The SELF-deceived soul is STILL part of the "Walking DEAD" -- destined to EVERlasting destruction in HELL. The person who BELIEVES in his/her OWN goodness is IGNORANT of Who GOD IS -- His INfinite HOLINESS, Righteous JUSTICE, IMmutable CHARACTER, Sovereign LORDship over ALL Creation (Visible and INvisible).


The UNbelieving sinner is IGNORANT of GOD's utterly HOLY Standard of entrance INto HIS heavenly Kingdom. The SIN-natured SIN-doer is IGNORANT of the depth of his own SINfulness -- of his own SIN-FULL thoughts, SIN-FULL affections, SIN-FULL motives. He indulges in SELF-deception, believing that he has obeyed GOD's Ten Commandments -- believing that his OUTward actions of "goodness" are acceptable in GOD's most HOLY Sight. BUT because GOD sees and thoroughly KNOWs the very HEART and MINDset of EVERY man, that man's "good" works are but FILTHY rags to GOD's utterly PURE Sight (see Isaiah 54:6).


To enter INto GOD's PERFECT Kingdom -- you MUST be 100% PERFECT. To go to Heaven, you MUST be PERFECT in thought, word, action... PERFECT from birth to death... PERFECT in EVERY way, during EVERY second, in EVERY thought, word, act of your ENTIRE lifetime. To gain entrance INto GOD's PERFECT heavenly Paradise -- you also MUST be TRULY, WHOLLY PERFECT in your own holiness (see Leviticus 11:45).


IMPOSSIBLE indeed! BUT with GOD -- ALL things are possible (see Matthew 19:26)! GOD The SON lived INwardly and OUTwardly ALL of GOD The FATHER's HOLY Standard of PERFECTion for LIFE in Heaven. The SON of GOD obeyed ALL of GOD's Requirements for PERFECT Holiness. CHRIST JESUS alone was THE Perfect ONE -- in ALL His thoughts, words, actions. From His incarnation (by earthly birth through the virgin Mary) to His SACRIFICIAL Death on Calvary's CROSS -- He NEVER sinned. The LORD JESUS Himself, Who is The GOD-Man (truly GOD, truly Man), fulfilled ALL that GOD required of Him as The FATHER's Sacrificial LAMB to ATONE, PAY IN FULL, the JUST punishment (for SIN) and JUST penalty (of Death) for ALL sinners who REPENT of their SINs, BELIEVE IN the PERFECT Person and the accomplished Work of The LORD JESUS -- TRUSTing in JESUS' HIStorical DEATH and Burial, RESURRECTION and Ascension back INto The GLORY with GOD The FATHER (see 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).


When you TRUST in JESUS' atoning Death for GOD's forgiveness of ALL your SINs and you TURN from your lifestyle of SIN and turn to GOD The SON as LORD of your NEW life -- the PERFECT Righteousness of The SON of GOD is imputed (legally put on your account) to you, positionally making you wholly RIGHTeous, AS IF you've NEVER EVER sinned! For your SINs were imputed to CHRIST at the Cross of DEATH, where JESUS was punished to Death for your SINs. By your sincere, genuine FAITH IN CHRIST -- your are totally FORGIVEN of ALL your SINs (Acts 2:38), made a NEW creation altogether (2 Corinthians 5:17), ADOPTED into GOD's Eternal FAMILY as His very own child (Ephesians 1:5, Romans 8:15), enABLEd SUPERnaturally by The Holy SPIRIT's INdwelling, to LOVE and OBEY and SERVE as a living sacrifice The ONE TRUE Living GOD (Romans 12:1).


By FAITH alone, IN CHRIST alone -- is THAT which is GOOD ENOUGH to satisfy GOD's Wrath and Condemnation against the SIN-natured SIN-doer who has rebelled against Him by making SELF his own god rather than acknowledging GOD AS GOD --The ONE TRUE Living TRIune Sovereign GOD Who has revealed Himself in The Holy SCRIPTURES.


SO -- for those who are tired of trying to be good enough, who are weary of the burdensome do's and don'ts of man-made religions, who are in need of TRUE REST in heart and REAL PEACE of mind -- receive The LORD JESUS' gracious invitation: "COME to Me... I WILL give you REST. IN Me -- you WILL find REST for your souls" (see Matthew 11:28-30). The Risen LORD JESUS, The MESSIAH sent of GOD The FATHER -- is your ONLY Way to GOD's Heaven, your ONLY REALity of ultimate PERFECTion, your ONLY Life of REAL PEACE with GOD forEVERmore.


For by the Amazing GRACE of GOD alone, through GOD's gift of FAITH alone, IN CHRIST alone are you made perfectly GOOD for the SUPERlative Privilege of living forEVERmore in The GLORY of GOD's Heaven. HalleluYAH!


The 2xborn IN CHRIST -- 'were by nature children under wrath as the others were also. BUT GOD, Who is RICH in Mercy, because of His great LOVE that He had for us, made us ALIVE with The MESSIAH even though we were DEAD in trespasses. You are SAVED by GRACE! Together with CHRIST JESUS He also raised us up and seated us in the Heavens, so that in the coming ages He might display the IMmeasurable riches of His GRACE through His Kindness to us IN CHRIST JESUS. For you are SAVED by GRACE through FAITH, and this is not from yourselves; it is GOD’s Gift—not from works, so that NO one can boast. For we are HIS creation, created IN CHRIST JESUS for GOOD works, which GOD prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them' (Ephesians 2:3-10). \o/


'IF anyone is IN CHRIST, he is a NEW creation; old things have passed away, and look, NEW things have come' (2 Corinthians 5:17). HalleluYAH! \o/

"The GLORIES Of CHRIST" -- Commentary by Pastor John MacArthur


The LORD CHRIST JESUS Himself proclaimed: 'I AM The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE. No one comes to The FATHER except THROUGH Me' (John 14:6).


The LORD CHRIST JESUS Himself declared: "I AM The VINE, you are the branches; he who abides IN Me and I IN him, he bears MUCH fruit -- for apart from Me you can do NOthing" (John 15:5). 

'NOT that we are SUFFICIENT in ourselves to consider ANYthing as coming from ourselves -- BUT our SUFFICIENCY is from GOD' (2 Corinthians 3:5).

"The GLORIES Of CHRIST" -- Commentary by Pastor John MacArthur

"One of the great tenets of Scriptures is the claim that JESUS CHRIST IS COMPLETELY SUFFICIENT for ALL matters of life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3,4)! HE IS SUFFICIENT for Creation (Colossians 1:16-17), SALVATION (Hebrew 10:10-12), SANCTIFICATION (Ephesians 5:26-27), and GLORIFICATION (Romans 8:30). SO PURE IS HE that there is NO blemish, stain, spot of sin, defilement, lying, deception, corruption, error, or imperfection (1 Peter 1:18-20).


CHRIST JESUS Himself IS "SO complete that there is NO other GOD besides Him (Isaiah 45:5); HE IS The ONLY Begotten SON (John 1:14,18); ALL the treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge are IN CHRIST (Colossians 2:3); the Fullness of the GODhead dwells bodily IN CHRIST (Colossians 2:9); HE IS Heir of ALL things (Hebrews 1:2); HE created ALL things and ALL things were made BY Him, THROUGH Him, and FOR Him (Colossians 1:16); HE upholds (sustains) ALL things by the Word of HIS Power (Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3); HE IS The Firstborn (The Preeminent ONE) of ALL Creation (Colossians 1:15); HE IS The EXACT Representation of GOD (Hebrews 1:3).


CHRIST JESUS Himself "IS The ONLY MEDIATOR between GOD and man; HE IS The SUN that enLIGHTens; The PHYSICIAN that heals; The Wall of Fire that defends; The FRIEND that comforts; The PEARL that enriches; The ARK that supports; and The ROCK to sustain under the heaviest of pressures; HE IS seated at the Right Hand of the Throne of The MAJESTY On High (Hebrews 1:3, 8:1); HE IS BETTER than the angels (Hebrews 1:4-14); BETTER than Moses; BETTER than Aaron; BETTER than Joshua; BETTER than Melchizedek; BETTER that ALL the prophets; GREATER than Satan (Luke 4:1-12); and STRONGER than Death (1 Corinthians 15:55).


CHRIST JESUS Himself "has NO beginning and NO end (Revelation 1:17-18); HE IS the spotless LAMB of GOD; HE IS our PEACE (Ephesians 2:14); HE IS our HOPE (1 Timothy 1:1); HE IS our LIFE (Colossians 3:4); HE IS The LIVING and TRUE WAY (John 14:6); HE IS The Strength of Israel (1 Samuel 15:29); HE IS The Root and Offspring of David, The Bright and Morning Star (Revelation 22:16); HE IS FAITHFUL and TRUE (Revelation 19:11) HE IS The AUTHOR and FINISHER of our Faith (Hebrews 12:1-2); HE IS The CAPTAIN of our SALVATION (Hebrews 2:10); HE IS our CHAMPION; HE IS The Elect ONE (Isaiah 42:1) HE IS The APOSTLE and High PRIEST of our Confession (Hebrews 3:1; HE IS The Righteous SERVANT (Isaiah 53:11).


CHRIST JESUS Himself "IS The LORD of Hosts, The REDEEMER -- The Holy ONE of Israel, The GOD of the whole earth (Isaiah 54:5); HE IS The MAN of Sorrows (Isaiah 53:3); HE IS The LIGHT; HE IS The SON of Man (Matthew 20:28); HE IS The VINE; HE IS The BREAD of LIFE; HE IS The DOOR; HE IS LORD (Philippians 2:10-13); HE IS PROPHET, PRIEST and KING (Hebrews 1:1-3); HE IS our Sabbath REST (Hebrews 4:9); HE IS our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6); HE IS The Wonderful COUNSELOR, The Mighty GOD, The EVERlasting FATHER, The PRINCE of Peace (Isaiah 9:6); HE IS The Chief SHEPHERD (1 Peter 5:4); HE IS LORD GOD of Hosts; HE IS LORD of the nations; HE IS The LION of Judah; The LIVING WORD; The ROCK of Salvation; The Eternal SPIRIT; HE IS The Ancient of Days; CREATOR and COMFORTER; MESSIAH; and CHRIST JESUS IS THE GREAT I AM (John 8:58)." (Commentary by Pastor John MacArthur -- The MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1831)


My prayer for you all who LOVE The ONE TRUE Living TRIune Sovereign GOD, who are the CALLED, who are the twice-born IN CHRIST -- that GOD our Heavenly FATHER 'would give you, according to the riches of HIS GLORY, to be strengthened with POWER through His Holy SPIRIT in the inner man, so that CHRIST JESUS may dwell IN your hearts through FAITH; and that you, being firmly rooted and grounded IN LOVE, may be able to comprehend with ALL the saints WHAT is the BREADTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH, and to KNOW the LOVE of CHRIST which SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE, that you may be FILLED UP to ALL the Fullness of GOD. Now to GOD Who IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL that we ask or think, ACCORDING to The POWER that works IN us -- to GOD be GLORY in the Church by CHRIST JESUS to ALL generations, forEVER and EVER. AMEN!' (Ephesians 3:16-21)


When we who are the twice-born of GOD truly reckon Who MESSIAH JESUS IS and What HE has done to accomplish our REDEMPTION by GOD's GRACE alone, through FAITH alone, IN CHRIST alone -- we will ascribe to The LORD JESUS Who IS Himself GOD The SON, and to GOD The FATHER, and to GOD The Holy SPIRIT -- ALL Praise and Honor and Worship... ALL GLORY to GOD forEVERmore! \o/ ("To Glorify CHRIST" -- a sermon on Romans 8:28-30 by Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones -- https://www.mljtrust.org/sermons/book-of-romans/to-glorify-christ/)

A Mercy-FULL Warning

CHRIST JESUS Himself said -- “If GOD were your FATHER [but He is not], you would LOVE and recognize Me, for I came from GOD [out of His very Presence] and have arrived here. For I have not even come on My own initiative [as self-appointed], but HE [is The ONE Who] sent Me. WHY do you misunderstand what I AM saying? It is because [your spiritual ears are deaf and] you are UNable to hear [the TRUTH of] My Word. You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does NOT stand in the TRUTH because there is NO TRUTH in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths. But because I speak the TRUTH, you do not believe Me [and continue in your UNbelief]. Which one of you [has proof and] convicts Me of sin? If I speak TRUTH, why do you not believe Me? Whoever is of GOD and belongs to Him hears [the TRUTH of] GOD’s Words; for this reason you do not hear them: because you are NOT of GOD and you are NOT in fellowship with Him” (John 8:37-47, AMP).

EVERY person belongs to a family. Ultimately, there are ONLY two families... ONLY two fathers... ONLY two lines of descent. ANCESTRYdotCOM may reveal your long-dead ancestors from the PAST -- but only GOD's Word of TRUTH, by the supernatural work of The SPIRIT of the Risen CHRIST, will reveal your PRESENT spiritual family, true father and actual line of descent.

EVERY person would prefer to be in GOD's heavenly Family, with GOD as spiritual FATHER, partaking of His divine Nature. NO reasonable person would choose the OTHER family, the OTHER father, the OTHER nature that The One TRUE Living TRIune Sovereign GOD has already judged and condemned to EVERlasting Hell. EVERY person would prefer Heaven over Hell as his/her FINAL destination.

You say you believe in GOD, you claim to be a blessed child of GOD, and you are certain that your immortal soul is destined for Heaven -- BUT you do NOT love the TRUTH of GOD's Holy Word and you do NOT love The Holy SON of GOD -- CHRIST JESUS -- Who is Himself co-equal, co-eternal with GOD The FATHER and GOD The Holy SPIRIT. The LORD JESUS Himself  IS The Living TRUTH -- The Living WORD Himself, THE I AM (see John 1:1-3,14; 8:58). How can you say that you love GOD The FATHER, but do not love GOD The SON? The LORD JESUS Himself said, "The one who does not honor The SON does not honor The FATHER Who sent Him" (John 5:23).

You gladly receive the gracious Works (the blessings of GRACE) of GOD that come through The SON -- but you do NOT receive the Words of TRUTH from The SON of GOD Himself, The LORD JESUS. You desire to go to GOD's heavenly Kingdom -- but you do NOT desire The KING of GLORY Himself, The Risen CHRIST, to be there, rightfully ruling over HIS Kingdom of GLORY. How is GOD your FATHER, when you have NOT received The ONE and ONLY Savior Whom GOD sent to save you from Hell? CHRIST JESUS Himself said: "I AM The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE. NO one comes to The FATHER except THROUGH Me" (John 14:6).

You hope to R.I.P. after this fleeting earthly existence -- without placing your Faith IN The PRINCE of Peace Himself, JESUS The CHRIST of GOD. You hope that your "good" works will be good enough to gain entrance into the UNapproachable LIGHT of GOD's heavenly Splendor in The GLORY (see 1 Timothy 6:16). You hope that you'll be prayed into GOD's Majestic GLORY through many novenas, much incense, and lighted candles. You hope that your church attendance and offerings will open the door INto GOD's Kingdom of GLORY. And yet, you will not the believe the TRUTH -- the REALity that without CHRIST JESUS' sacrificial DEATH, His atoning BLOOD shed at The CROSS for the SINs of SIN-natured, SIN-practicing SINners like you and me -- we would STILL be in the family of that devil, Satan, STILL ruled by him in his Kingdom of Darkness, STILL members of his captive Walking Dead.

And here's the REALity, the TRUTH, the FACT -- 'it is APPOINTED and destined for ALL men to DIE once and after this [comes certain] JUDGMENT' (Hebrews 9:27); 'But as for the cowards and UNbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate IMmorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach FALSE religions], and ALL the LIARS [who knowingly deceive and twist TRUTH], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the Second DEATH' (Revelation 21:8).

'BUT GOD -- demonstrates HIS own LOVE toward us, in that while we were STILL sinners, CHRIST DIED for us' (Romans 5:8).

'BUT GOD, being [SO VERY] RICH in Mercy, because of His GREAT and WONDERFUL LOVE with which He loved us, even when we were [spiritually] DEAD and separated from Him because of our SINs, He made us [spiritually] ALIVE together With CHRIST (for by His GRACE—His UNdeserved Favor and Mercy—you have been SAVED from GOD’s JUDGMENT). And He raised us up together With HIM [when we believed], and seated us With HIM in the heavenly places, [because we are] IN CHRIST JESUS, [and He did this] so that in the ages to come He might [clearly] show the IMmeasurable and UNsurpassed RICHES of His GRACE in [His] Kindness toward us IN CHRIST JESUS [by providing for our REDEMPTION]' (Ephesians 2:4-7, AMP).

'For it is by GRACE [GOD’s remarkable Compassion and Favor drawing you to CHRIST) that you have been SAVED [actually DELIVERED from JUDGMENT and given Eternal LIFE] through FAITH. And this [SALVATION] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [UNdeserved, gracious] Gift of GOD; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his SALVATION]. For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created IN CHRIST JESUS [REborn from Above—spiritually TRANSFORMED, RENEWED, ready to be used] for GOOD works, which GOD prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the GOOD Life which He PREarranged and made ready for us]' (Ephesians 2:8-10, AMP).

HOW do you KNOW if you truly love GOD and are of GOD? You LOVE the TRUTH -- His HOLY Word; and you LOVE The SON of GOD, Who is Himself THE TRUTH. IF you say you love GOD, but do NOT love the TRUTH -- GOD's Written WORD, The HOLY Scriptures; nor do you love The TRUTH Himself, Who is GOD's ONE and ONLY Begotten SON -- The LORD JESUS -- you are self-deceived. You are STILL of that UNbelieving family of Satan, STILL under his dominion, STILL lost in Darkness.

BUT TOday, by The Holy SPIRIT's supernatural work of giving LIFE to the spiritually DEAD -- may you acknowledge your own SINfulness in light of GOD's INfinite Holiness. REPENT -- turn away from your lifestyle of SIN, and turn to GOD for forgiveness through CHRIST JESUS' atoning Death. 

May you receive by Faith, GOD's Gift of REDEMPTION -- cleared of eternal condemnation, punishment, and guilt -- made JUSTIFIED and gifted with the perfect Righteousness of GOD's own Beloved ONE and ONLY Begotten SON JESUS, The CHRIST sent of GOD, Who was Himself the The Propitiation that satisfied GOD's Holy WRATH for sinners like you and me, Who was Himself the Sacrificial LAMB of GOD Who took upon Himself the Righteous JUDGMENT and JUST Punishment for sinners like you and me. 

May you receive GOD's Gift of RECONCILIATION -- the REAL Peace from GOD that surpasses all human understanding, through a restored FELLOWSHIP with GOD -- through The PRINCE of Peace Himself, JESUS CHRIST. May you receive GOD's Gift of REGENERATION, a NEW and EVERlasting Life -- through The RESURRECTION and The LIFE Himself -- The SON of GOD, CHRIST JESUS. AMEN! \o/

KNOWing GOD is The WAY to Eternal LIFE

"A high view of GOD leads to high and holy worship. A high view of GOD leads to transcendent living. A low view of GOD leads to trivial worship. A low view of GOD leads to common, mundane living. So, what you believe about Who GOD IS is really the rudder of the ship. It's the engine of the car and it's the steering wheel. Your whole life, whether you realize it or not, is being driven and directed by Who you believe GOD IS.

"The doctrine of GOD is the most important doctrine in the Bible, because your doctrine of GOD becomes the paradigm or the lens or the template through which you see everything else. What you believe about GOD affects your worldview and how you view history and how you view the culture and how you view society. It affects how you view politics. It affects how you view marriage. It affects everything. Your knowledge of GOD either blurs or brings sharply into focus how you see what you see. It is the knowledge of GOD that affects how you see trials, how you see persecution, how you see tribulation. It is all governed by the knowledge of GOD" (Steven Lawson -- "The Attributes of GOD" seminar).


The One TRUE Living TRIune GOD -- 'HE Who is THE Blessed and Only SOVEREIGN, The KING of those who reign as kings and The LORD of those who rule as lords, Who alone possesses IMmortality and dwells in UNapproachable LIGHT, whom no one has seen or can see. To HIM be Honor and Eternal DOMINION! Amen.' (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

"The Sovereignty of GOD is the towering, foundational TRUTH of ALL CHRISTian Theology -- that GOD IS -- and The GOD Who IS, is The GOD Who reigns over the entirety of HIS created order. HE has supreme authority in His right to exercise His Sovereignty -- His absolute, active, continual reign over the Heavens and the Earth and Hell itself. It is HIS undisputed right to govern ALL He has created" (Steven Lawson -- "The Sovereignty of GOD").

"GOD is preeminent in Power and Authority. GOD’s Sovereignty is a natural consequence of His Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. The fact that GOD is SOVEREIGN essentially means that HE has the Power, Wisdom, and Authority to do ANYthing He chooses within His Creation. GOD rules the Universe" (Got Questions).


'And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, Who was and Who is and Who is to come"' (Revelation 4:8).

"The one attribute of GOD that is raised to the superlative degree is the Holiness of GOD -- that HE is Holy-er than any of His works/creatures, HE is the Holy-est of ALL beings; that HE is elevated to the very highest level of Holiness. GOD Himself is perfectly HOLY... The angels are not crying out LOVE, LOVE, LOVE... nor TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH... nor WRATH, WRATH, WRATH -- but they are crying out day and night, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is The LORD GOD Almighty! EVERYthing about GOD IS HOLY" (Steven Lawson -- "The Holiness of GOD").


The LOVE of GOD is AGAPE-Love -- the highest expression of REAL Love. "It is a LOVE that is rooted deep within The ONE Who loves, that sacrificially gives to seek the highest GOOD in the one who is loved... who is unlovely... who is abhorrent to GOD because of their sin and their disobedience. GOD's LOVE is redeeming LOVE -- a Love SO great that He has given His ONLY Begotten SON to die for us upon Calvary's CROSS" (Steven Lawson -- "The Love of GOD").

'And may you have the Power to understand, as all GOD’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His LOVE is. May you experience the LOVE of CHRIST, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with ALL the fullness of Life and Power that comes from GOD.' (Ephesians 3:18-19)

The breadth and length and height and depth of the Love of GOD IN CHRIST "was proven when GOD sent His SON to die on the Cross for sinners. When CHRISTians look at GOD's LOVE, they see their FATHER Who cares for them, Who redeemed them through His SON, and made them HOLY by His SACRIFICE. ALL Believers should experience the Depth and Breadth of GOD’s LOVE for them IN CHRIST JESUS. This great TRUTH is an anchor for all in times of suffering and depression, and it is this TRUTH in which all CHRISTians can put their Hope and Trust" (Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones -- https://www.mljtrust.org/sermons-online/ephesians-3-18-19/breadth-length-depth-height/).


'And this is The WAY to have Eternal LIFE—to KNOW You, The ONLY TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, The ONE You sent to earth' (John 17:3).
