More than Immense Love
What an incredibly sovereign and loving God we have!God created a perfect world for us and He gave us the best of the best. A perfect world, eternal life on it, and everything we could ever possibly need. He also gave us a mind, so we could know Him; emotions, so we could love Him; and a will, so we could love and obey Him out of our own choice.
Then He gave us only one command, not to eat from one tree. There were thousands of other trees for us to eat out of, yet we disobeyed him and we ate out of that one tree. We thought we knew better than our great Creator!
So God being a holy and just God, separated us from and and made us mortal, that we would die and when we did we would perish forever in the Lake of Fire totally separated from the presence of God. This is no death anyone wants to be part of, believe me... eternal torture! But that is what we deserve for disobeying our creator and God!
But in God's "More than Immense Love" he did not leave us hanging. He gave us something great, not just some cheap or worthless thing, but He gave us his son! The greatest gift that He could ever possibly give us, He gave. Where else does one find a God who gives to his people. In every other "religion" the gods ask something from the people, yet our God, the God, gives and gave to his people.
Christ Jesus came to earth and became a human so that He could be our perfect King and so he could save us from the eternal death that was caused by our sin. Yet we were deaf and sightless and did not heed or acknowledge Him, though He did many signs and wonders that should have made us realize who He was. So he decided to die and when He did He took on every person's sin! He died and went to the Lake of Fire for us. But, since He had no sin and since He was dieing for the world's sin God raised him up from the dead and because of that death no longer has any power over him. God did this with incredible power that none but Him have, we cannot even imagine it!
God declared then that, anyone who believes that Jesus died and took on their sin, then was buried to show that He had truly died, then that He rose again, will have eternal life forever, no matter what! That is the only, and again I say only, way to get to heaven. If anyone, I repeat anyone, on earth believes that they can be saved from eternal death forever and will go to heaven when they die! Christ's death is completely sufficient to save us, we need nought else. How incredible is this free gift of salvation that God gives us!
This salvation that God gives to us is so extremely simple yet so many nowadays make it so hard!
Lastly, please do not just let this wash right over your head, though you may have heard this many times it is always good to hear it again because this is the very basis of everything pertaining to God! Thank you!
More to come in the future.
Please post all comments or questions and I will get back to you.

Well Cousin Dearest,
Very well written.
I miss you and your amazingness. Remember when we had the picnic at Aunt Donna's and we found the duck eggs? Ah yes. Lovely Memories.
Perhaps, by some miracle we shall be able to see each other again before we are all old, wrinkly, perhaps married, and wearing toupees and wigs.
Hmm. I don't believe you have missed my insanity. Most likely rejoiced in the absence of it!
Ah well, I love you all the same. Have the most wonderful of days.

You are amazing David. Not just from reading this post do I know that, but also from knowing you and watching in awe of the ways God shines through you and of the ways you try so hard to be everyting you can in this world even at times you don't understand why God put you here... You are so wise David, I look up to you so much, you've helped me through a lot of things and have opened my eyes to many things. You amaze me, honestly you do.
