Kah Wor's Dash: 2011

The earth looks big. But when compared to the cosmos; the universe, it is so very small. Yet Jesus Christ, in Whom all things were created [Colossians 1:16], gave up His deity-ness to come all the way down to earth. From this standpoint, it shed some light on Psalms 8:3-4: 3When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established, 4What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?
The footnote to Isaiah 65:17 (Amplified Bible) informs that The Hebrew language has no single word to express the concept of cosmos or universe, so heavens and earth are substituted.
Abba Father cares and watches over His own to the extent He even counts the number of their hairs.
Matthew 10:30
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
By His coming to earth, He has impoverished Himself. Even if Christ Jesus came in human form as the wealthiest and most powerful man on planet earth, that would be nothing compared to what He has given up. But He came as a human born into a poor family that lived in an insignificant town, as a carpenter’s son. And that was not enough. Jesus abased Himself still further by dying the most humiliating death on the Cross.
Jesus did all that so that He could take our extreme poverty in exchange for his extreme abundance. Jesus Christ Himself said that He has come that we might have abundant life [John 10:10].
2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
Philippians 2:8
And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!
John 10:10 (NKJV)
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Now that God, Abba Father, has given us His best, Jesus Christ, His ONLY BELOVED son in Whom He is well pleased, what shall we say?

Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

God is love [1 John 4:8]. To a child, love is spelt TIME. What is love to you? Then God is that. For God says He is the “I AM” [Exodus 3:14]. If you need health, then God says “I AM your health”. If you need wealth, God says “I AM your wealth”.

Seek Him as you would seek your deepest desire. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also [Matthew 6:21].

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you [Matthew 6:33].

God is for us, who can be against us? [Romans 8:31]

All these have been made possible by the shedding of Jesus’ precious Blood.

Jesus’ Blood is the basis for God being our Abba Father.
Jesus’ Blood is the basis for God blessing us without any reservations.
Jesus’ Blood is the reason why we are still alive and kicking.

Christ Jesus did all that He did in obedience to our heavenly Father. But why should He be obedient? Jesus’ obedience even to the Cross is borne out of His love for us. It was that love that kept Him on the Cross! His obedience was out of His own willingness to do what He would want to do.

Today, God our Father puts desires in our hearts to obey what we would want to do. We do what we want to do and that is obedience. And this synergy is made possible by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to earth to settle the sin problem!

Sin is a noun, that is, a place, person or thing. Sin causes lack; lack of fellowship with God, health, wealth and all good things. Because of this lack, mankind resort to all kinds of actions to get them. And these actions are sins (a verb).
The Law tells us what actions are considered sins. But the Law cannot help us beyond that. The sacrificial system of the blood of bulls and goats served to cover the action of sins but could not settle the sin (noun) problem which was the cause of sins (verb or actions).

Romans 5:12
Therefore, as sin came into the world through one man, and death as the result of sin, so death spread to all men, [no one being able to stop it or to escape its power] because all men sinned. Jesus came to settle the sin problem once and for all. His sacrificial death satisfied the claims of divine justice. His precious Blood also satisfied the righteousness and faithfulness of God to punish sin. Now that sin has been punished, God can now bless all who receive this gift of free pardon without any reservations. God, Abba Father, can now be righteous and faithful to bless all those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:15-21
15But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man's falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.

16Nor is the free gift at all to be compared to the effect of that one [man's] sin. For the sentence [following the trespass] of one [man] brought condemnation, whereas the free gift [following] many transgressions brings justification ([j]an act of righteousness).
17For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
18Well then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man's act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men.
19For just as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear,]heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him).
20But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded,
21So that, [just] as sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favor) might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord.
