Seeking Jesus First Nov.4, 2024

 The LORD God is kind. The LORD God desires to manifest His kindness to all generations.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:4–7, NKJV)

Break down these Scriptures and apply them to our hearts

1. God is rich in mercy towards us.
2. LORD God is motivated by His tremendous love for us to show us lovingkindness.
3. The deadness of our soul because of sins did not hinder His love and mercy for us.
4. When God raised Christ Jesus from dead, He raised our dead souls back to life with and in Christ Jesus.
5. The LORD saved us by His merciful and gracious loving kindness.
6. But God didn’t stop there!!! He raised us up in spirit and soul to sit in the throne at His own right hand in the heavenly places. So that we are all one in Christ Jesus.
7. Our Father did this wonderful merciful thing so that He could manifest the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8. Our Father has put His loving kindness and grace on display for all times and all ages so that all who see would desire to draw near to Him in faith and receive this great kindness.

Don’t think for a minute that Our Father’s kindness ends with your forgiveness. Our Father’s kindness is everlasting and His mercy endures forever. His kindness places all of His goodness and all of His promises to us in Christ Jesus. Now we have access to all that He promised in Christ Jesus.
