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.”
