The Devotional - A Look at the Book #765

by Jesse Abel

A Word from Papa “J”

Proverbs is all about the skill of living life under the sun. Do not be like one who withholds goodness from another; this is an evil power to rule over the emotions of a friend, loved one or even a neighbor. And do not make someone wait for a blessing as this is for them; when received a cursing. Proverbs 3:27-28

Good Morning

John 3:36 – He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but (therefore) the wrath of God abides on Him.

From the fall of Adam to this very day and until Christ returns the wrath of God abides. John 3:36 is written in a present tense which was active from creation and is as active today as it was when the apostle John wrote, so that all of mankind is without excuse. Genesis 2:17 is the command given by God for mankind to reject tree of the knowledge of good and evil (the kingdom of life under the sun) and abide under the Tree of Life (The Kingdom of Life under the SON).

Man chose to disobey and so the wrath of God is IN place over all of creation. Genesis 2:8 through Genesis 3:1-24. To in ending this little study of what it means to be “born again, or born from above; or even regenerated”. MOST ASSUREDLY as Jesus explained to Nicodemus… YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! Salvation is to be removed from the wrath (curse) of God and to be JUSTIFIED by believing in Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Now some may question why I have taken this opportunity to share just a little bit about Salvation Justification? I could just ignore your concern and move on (no harm, no foul) but I have been writing for several years and have seen God bless this ministry. At the present time there are between one and two thousand reader on one of the blogs, daily. I would like to think that all of these folks are believers in Jesus Christ, but I know they are not.

I also know that the most important message is not about me, but of Christ who died and rose again for me. Not only for me; but for all of those who call upon the name of the LORD in the context of “Salvation Justification” John 3:17. All of us have gone astray from God, we are like the lame man found in Acts 4 whom the apostles by the power and work of the Holy Spirit restored that man to a wholesome physical health and likewise to regeneration of his soul; Acts 3:26 and Acts 4:12.

All of us have the opportunity while living in our infirmities and iniquities to face up to this truth and be saved! Some will and many will not, but I do hope that if you are unsaved; that is not justified in Christ that you will repent (change your mind) and be… BORN AGAIN!
