Topics: The Trace of Love
Highlight:
I am the Lord your God, so obey me and don't cheat anyone. If you obey my laws and teachings, you will live safely in the land and enjoy its abundant crops. Don't ever worry about what you will eat during the seventh year when you are forbidden to plant or harvest.
Leviticus 25:17-20
God love his children. In the old times he showed Israel's citizens how to live based on his guidelines so they can prosper in the promised land he will give to them. His plans are ultimate plans that worked for all who obeyed him. In the new testament, He extended this love to everyone all over the world by sending someone so special to come and get the job done. Anyone could show love, but for a love to last forever from generation to generation, it must come from God himself.
It is God's decision to love the world. He begins from Israel's Citizens, then to the world because they are special set of people who obeys God from their heart.
"God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die."
John 3:16
The Trace of God's love is alive in Jesus Christ His Only Son. It is the love that leads to eternal wealth. We must learn how to live this love of God through Christ to enjoy the benefits left to us from the traces of God's love. So what did God say In Leviticus 25: 17-19 from our highlight verses: God said "I am the Lord your God, so obey me and don't cheat anyone. If you obey my laws and teachings, you will live safely in the land and enjoy its abundant crops".
Leviticus 25:17-19
Though this was about the year of Jubilee. It is significant that God love for His Children is to give them safety and prosperity during their days of rest. However, His plans was greater than a three year rest. Indeed His plan was to give everyone of us "Eternal life" (that is all round rest, safety, peace and prosperity forever) through faith in His son Jesus. John 5:36
We have learned that it takes the grace of our Lord Jesus to perfectly respect and obey the rule of God's law. Our ordinary effort cannot yield the best result. So, the Bible admonishes us to "BELIEVE" in Jesus "The Only Begotten Son of God". Truly Those we believe in Jesus do enjoy the gift of safety, peace and prosperity from God's love. It is only through Jesus Christ, we can find peace and love from above.
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Act 4:12
No one can love you like Jesus. He is the only way, truth and life to those who believe. There is no other way. Jesus is the way. John 14:6 Just surrender unto Him alone and look unto Jesus for every solution, and follow him and call upon his name. John 14:15
If you take away your efforts and rely on Jesus from now on. The Holy Spirit will come into you. John 14:18
Prayer: Lord Jesus help me. I surrender all my weapons to be your subject. If You call me your friend, I will be your friend and if you call me your disciple, I am all yours. Help me with your grace to fall into God's love today. Amen.
