Good News from the Good News.......deno.
.......Jesus while on earth sat down with people of all different types of character flaws and sins yet he loved them His Way anyway. He knew what was in man. He knows all that is in our hearts even now. He could see beneath the veil of the flesh and see all their hearts thoughts, intents, imaginations (Ranging from PG13 to R to the X figures) and he knew they were evil and none could hide their heart from him. Still despite that inward unholy site, He did not let that keep him from coming into the world and he did not let that sight remove himself from loving them Gods Way or feeding them the words of life. He came to seek and save that which was lost. He plainly stated, "it is not the well that need a physician but the sick people." He knew we all were the sick people. He knew we all desperately needed Him (His Atoning Blood). He knew also we were all evil and yet knowing all this about us he loved us anyway and his love for us is far more powerful to save than all our sins combined power to condemn.
Even though we were evil to the core, with none of us having any acceptable righteousness according to the scriptures, still Jesus gave himself for us anyway. That is Gods true love message in the Message of His Cross. This love understood brings forth confidence in the heart to approach God with ones faiths eyes fixed on the goodness of God that one sees in the true love in the Message of His Cross. He loves us despite us. He loved us even though he fully knew us. As the old song goes of Jesus, He that knew us best, still loved us the most.
In Jesus' giving of himself on the Cross, He became Gods Saving Power for the weak. Paul wrote, Gods love is revealed in this, When we were yet sinners, helpless to save ourselves and without strength, Christ died for us who are called the ungodly (Romans 5:5-11, a good news read).....Amazing love...Amazing Grace....Amazing Redemption by an Amazing Redeemer.....For God So Loved The World. For God So Loved You.......deno......share freely.

Are You A Member Of Gods Great Congregation of Grace ?.......deno......share freely.
Romans 11:1-6.....New International Version (NIV)
The Remnant of Israel.....
11 vs 1).. I ask then: Did God reject his people (Israel)? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2) God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3) “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]? 4) And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b] 5) So too, at the present time, there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6) And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. Scroll Down.
Friends even so it is in America. Though it seems millions are cold toward God and His Son these days. Though Christians are the targeted ones by the left and the enemies of the Cross of Christ, THERE STILL REMAINS A MIGHTY REMNANT OF BELIEVERS....The bible calls them, THE GREAT CONGREGATION.....God by grace always keeps a people unto Himself no matter what the world does and no matter what is going on the in the nation. Are you a member of the GREAT CONGREGATION ? Grace Grace, Gods Grace, Grace That Is Greater Than All Our Sin.....deno.

Pauls Longing for Israel.......deno......share freely.
Romans 10:1-13New Living Translation (NLT)......
Pauls Longing For Israel.........The righteousness and right standing with God that Israel works so hard to attain thru the works of the Law, God has given to us FREELY as a free gift thru faith in His Son Jesus Christ. The RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of God by faith........Abraham believed God and his faith was what God counted as his righteousness..
10 Dear brothers and sisters,[a] the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. 3 For they don’t understand God’s way (Gods New Covenant Way) of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given.[b] As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.
Salvation Is for Everyone

5 For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God
requires obedience to all of its commands.[c] 6 But faith’s way of
getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up
to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will
go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life
again).” 8 In fact, it says,
“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.”[d] And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”[e] 12 Jew and Gentile[f] are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

THE MOST SOBERING of all TRUTHS......deno.....share freely.
THE SOBERING TRUTH......Thru a more severe and deeper look at the Cross of Christ thru the Holy Spirits revealing eyes, one cannot help but to see the severity of the human dilemna portrayed in what we see concerning Jesus Christ and him crucified. After pleading with the Father for the cup of the Cross to be taken from him and that plea denied, we see thru the prophet Isaiah some of the reason why Jesus was recoiling from that cup, from that death scene on the Cross.
Isaiah chapters 52,53,54, said that in the passion of the Christ he would be rejected, then abused, then beaten, then whipped and ripped until as David prophesied in Psalms 22 that Christ ribs were exposed to him as to be able to count them on the cross. And Isaiah revealed even more of that cup that Christ in the garden was recoiling from, he wrote that Jesus was so marred in the abuse that he was disfigured to the measure that he was humanly not recognizable. The horror one sees on the Cross of what the creatures by Satans fury did to the Creator tells us that there is something seriously wrong on earth between God and man, and that something terrible has happened in the creation of God. It reveals and shows us that the fall of Adam into sin was no soft or light matter for me're amusing human chatter and conversation. It is in all seriousness a heaven or eternal hell matter.
None of us should ever again look litely at the sin of Adam or at that transgressions consequences, or speak litely about the bloody agonies of our Savior and Creator at Calvary. This revealing light will take us away from our child level ideas and fantasies of the Christ and Christianity and redemption to realizing more of all the why of all that brutality in blood and and ripped flesh so many saw that day on Golgotha's hill. Seeing souls of people young and old being escorted by the evil spirits into hell as they cry that that cup would be taken from them, yet it is to lay for them should awaken us out of sleep and drunkenness of mind to heed the call to proclaim the gospel and to believe and obey Jesus as Lord.
......Something else needs to be spoken here also. This light is not for the faint hearted at the table of revelation and truth. Another cup is being revealed that all of us as loving caring humans or parents wish none would ever have to drink, especially children. But some cups have to be drank despite our plea against them or have you not noticed this truth already in your natural life on earth, that despite our recoiling from this disturbing truth mankind daily drinks the cups of diverse sufferings all over the world. Death, hunger, hate, sickness, disease, thirst, evil, rape, murder, abuse of children. On and on these present realities live though a whole world wills them not and wished all those cups would be taken from them, but mostly and so often they are not. Even in Christ we must bear ye one another's troubles and burdens, and strengthen and feed one another lest we faint in the journey of life in this present world in these present earthen clay vessels that are still yet subject to the return unto dust.
It was very uncomfortable for me to accept this truth at the first that I'm going to be very straight forward about. At first I wanted to recoil from it, run from it, and play it off as heresy. I wanted to pretend I did not hear what I just heard, or see what I just saw. For such knowledge was almost to great for me to stand under it's truth weight. I wept at its truth and reality. Please if you are faint hearted in the faith stop here and go no further.
......In my simplicity I don't know how to say this gently so I will just go on to the point and that point is this. Did you know that due to Adams transgression consequence, as we can see and accept that Adams sin caused the Son of God to taste death for every man, even so another terrible after effect happened because of Adams great transgression. There are even souls of children within the gates of hell. None of us like to picture this truth. I know that I didn't. I would rather not know this. But the scene of the Cross of the Son of God and the scene of him recoiling from the cup in the garden is telling us that there is nothing at all pretty of Adams fall and the Son of Gods severe persecution in the Message of His Cross except that some thru it shall be saved.
The real truth of Adams far reaching transgression is more horrific in its consequences than most of us want to consider. When the revelation of this truth comes, it changes ones look at the Cross and the gospel and of the awfulness of Adams sin. It is more tragic and more deeper in cuts and wounds, in thorns and in thistles than many of us want to think. It removes our innocence and child like Sunday school understanding of Jesus and redemption and we enter manhood in understanding seeing things thru the tears, the struggles and the painful agonies of Christ and Him crucified and the why and the how come. Adams sin was so powerful and so horrific in consequence that the citizens of earth were all now legally the members of hell. It slew everyone without mercy young and old, even the Son of God. And had God not had mercy and Covenantly intervened, then the whole of mankind would have perished with Satan in hell. This my friends, reveals to us this was no petty game created to bring a bored Creator some amusement. The tears, the cries, the abuse and crucifixion of Jesus Christ Gods Son and his rip and pains shatters that thought.
You, me and all children are all the children of Adam and Eve. Many of their children are in hell young and old because of Adams sin transfer into them. Most of the world is and that in itself is a revelation of the horror of it all, of their transgression consequence, and of the importance of the great high calling of the reconciling Cross of Christ.
Sin and Satan have no respecter of persons or their age. Lions of the field always love and chase the infants of the flock or the herd. When ones eyes are opened up to the fact that the Son of God was not even spared, one realizes how terrible Adam and Eves sin really was, NON SPARING. It was the worst thing that could have ever happened to humanity and Jesus. Scroll Down.
Fathers and mothers, love your children. Be Christ saving light to them in this present so darkened world. Be there souls shepherds in Christ light and love them with the truth that is in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our family is every day our constant local church and the fathers and mothers are the every day shepherds and pastors thereof. Love and feed them the truth that is in Christ Jesus. The Lord is coming soon.....deno......share freely.
