Father God’s Story

 

“For God so Loved. . . .” John 3:16

 

This is the way it begins. From the beginning of time, Father God has chosen us – chosen us for a life of relationship with him. And from that time on, he has been inviting us to his table of extravagance!

Adam and Eve, created in God’s image, chose to disobey him and thus separate themselves from his perfect love. So, man and woman sought to find their way back to God by observing his law. This list of righteous acts never freed them to a life with Father God.

Finally, Father God sent us a Savior, his own flesh Jesus Christ. Jesus came to earth and through his death and resurrection from the grave bought us our freedom and provided an eternal way back.

It is through Jesus that we have been saved and given the gift of grace – a pardon from what we deserved and a wealth we could not have earned. Our sins have been forgiven and forgotten. We are free to walk in faith and free to accept his pursuit. He longs for our love and desires our choice. Father God’s story is one of powerful creation, awesome miracles, focused attention, but most importantly, desperate love.

 

Do you know his love?

1. If you don’t truly know this unbridled love and life of freedom, ask him to show you – victory and eternal living in the midst of your everyday!

 

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

 

2. Believe that he has fought for you through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

 

3. Confess that you can’t do it without him and need his help.

 

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

 

His table of extravagance is a rich gift of “life that truly life.” 1 Timothy 6:19 We want to invite you on the journey with us. Keep exploring. . .
