I have loved you with an everlasting love;

Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.

Following Jesus involves forsaking your ways and embracing God's ways. With the Lord's help, we must change and grow to be “partakers of the divine nature” Some people, however, choose to follow a different course in life, one that will not lead to the Kingdom of God. When we come to Jesus we exchange our ways for His ways. We give up our small plans to embrace His enormous plans for our life.

It is His promise to defeat the enemy of God and set His children free, to have a good life in this world and spend eternity in Heaven.

The promises Christ makes about the future are equally precious and great: That God will meet every need we have according to the extent of his riches. That we will go to heaven when we die. That we will escape the punishment we deserve for our sins. God will rescue you from the penalty and punishment of sin.

Jesus's life, death, and resurrection are part of God's divine rescue mission designed to give you the greatest promises of all: forgiveness for your sins, peace with God, and eternal life. Since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind: The commitment God calls us to have is nothing greater than the commitment Jesus had in enduring suffering for our salvation. In the last days we need to have a commitment to God that will endure through great struggles. But in every nation the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is acceptable and welcomed by Him.

What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself]. Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us. Who shall ever separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness (graciousness, mercy, compassion) for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
