Summary: We have a heavenly fathee who cares for us always. He loves us so much that He gave his only begotten son to die for our sins ao that we can be translated from the kindgom of darkness to His marvelous light filled with life and testimonies.
THE EVERLASTING FATHER
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Christ is the everlasting father whom God gave to the world to bring salvation and redemption unto mankind. Ever before he was born, it was foretold by Isaiah in Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
God the Father so much love the world ~ You and I that He [God] gave his only begotten Son to save us from the wages of sin as is written in John 3:16.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The reason for this great love for mankind is to free man from the bondage and consequences of sin. For the Bible says in Romans 3:23 that all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
God is very much interested in the soul of man. He is interested in where every man will spend eternity. He knows too well that Satan the thief goes about seeking whom to destroy according to John 10:10. But Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly.
The Bible says in Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our Everlasting father has made for us, provision for eternal life and a better life here on earth and hereafter hence he said in Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
But how can we come unto Christ?
Jesus himself answers the above question.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
My Brother, my Sister, the Everlasting Father is calling on you today to come unto Him. Your life is secured in him for healing, deliverance, provisions and solutions to all life challenges according to 3 John 2 so please do not harden your heart.
If you have made up your mind today to give your life to Jesus, pray this prayer of salvation:
Lord Jesus, today I confess my sins to you, my everlasting father asking you for mercy, please come into my life as I accept you today as my personal Lord and Saviour even as I confess that I am Born Again. Thank you Jesus for saving me in Jesus name I pray.
Congratulations.
