In the gospel
of John the reader can see the loving side of God through His Son Jesus Christ.
In John's writings, he tells us to love one
another, to love like God, and that God is love. He
stresses
how the love of God was manifested with the sacrifice of His only begotten son, in an effort
to make certain all of mankind be redeemed.
The only thing a person needs to do in order to qualify
for this gift of redemption is to believe. My brothers and
sisters, to believe in something, you have to
have faith in something...and
according to the word of God -- faith makes us blessed and highly favored.
Allowing
us to walk in righteousness and be bombarded by the blessings of the Lord. All because
of "real faith!" And a "real faith" gets you "real blessed!"
(Somebody need to tell somebody I'm real
blessed)
John is concluding his gospel writing by stating, "Jesus performed
many more miracles than these, that I have
written to you about,
and the only reason I tell you of so many because I want you to believe and be blessed!"
It is your belief that gives you a life in Christ. A life in Christ gives you a secure place in heaven. A secure place in
heaven, bring forth a mansion not made by the hands of man. A mansion not
made by the hands of man -- means it will never
deteriorate.
And because you have a maintenance free house, you can walk around heaven all day, you
can shout and never
get tired, you can praise God and nobody will
look at you funny wondering what you're shouting for, now....Tell somebody you're
"Real Blessed."
In Him,
Reverend John O. Veasey, Jr.
