The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10)
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)
------------
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ---John 1:1
--What does “the Word was God” in today’s verse mean? It means “face to face with God.” It describes the most intimate kind of communion and union.
Christ left the intimacy and “face-to-faceness” with God… He left the glory of heaven and the majesty of God’s presence… and came to earth.
Think about that for a moment. Jesus left Heaven to be born in a stable….. to walk among men on the dirty streets of Galilee. He lived and died and rose again as a human being.
Isn’t it amazing that God would walk among us? But why would He do this?
He did it because He loves you and me… and He wants you and me to come into a personal relationship with Him. But because we are separated from God by our sin, we can't know God or experience God or get near to God in His absolute holiness. So God came near. He came down in the person of Jesus Christ and paid the price for our sin by dying on the Cross.
So let me ask you, how have you responded to Jesus Christ in your life?
If you’ve accepted Him your personal Lord and Savior, I praise God that you’ve made the best decision you will ever make. But if you haven’t made this decision, what’s stopping you from accepting God’s 'free gift' of eternal life right now? We are told in Scripture that we are to 'fear God'. That does NOT mean (be afraid of or scared of), IT DOES MEAN Holding our mighty Creator, Jehovah ELOHIM, in 'reverential fear'. The Creator of all the earth and the entire world!
So awesomeness is His great power that to not honor Him, is to reject Him, neglect Him, and not trust in the God, who was born in human flesh to save the world from going to Hell. Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem the curse of Satan in the Garden of Eden. He has conquered the grave, He arose from the dead. HE IS ALIVE! Do you believe that? If you answer, "YES, MY GOD'S NOT DEAD"!, then one done, perhaps soon, we will see him together with all the saints gone on before us. Oh, How He Loves You! "No greater love has any one than this, to lie down His life for the sins of the entire world." He did that, JUST FOR YOU! Please receive Jesus into your life, and live forever!
