*DAILY DEW 14TH/OCTOBER/2021* *KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.* (John 3:16 (AMP)) _Bible Insight:_ *The Love of God in the face of destruction* Let's begin with God's love vis a vis God's wrath. Apart from the love of God, an understanding of the wrath of God is key if an individual would be receptive to and fully appreciative of the Gospel! John 3:16 says so. It would be safe to divide the text into little parts-- --- God so loved the world --- that He gave His only son --- in order to give the world an opportunity to believe the son -- if they must be delivered from perishing --- and by so doing have everlasting life instead. When you look at this text carefully, it is easy to see that God's love was provoked by the danger that humanity stands in. Sin invited death or condemnation and this will cause men to live in everlasting death unless and until they believe the son of God. This makes it clear, God was moved to action because by His word, which He is bound to honour, all sinners are bound to end in His wrath-- unless they receive the son who He sent in love. There is an inseparable connection between the love of God and the wrath of God. Love paves the way to life, but the wrath gives the needed motivation to accept the offer of God's salvation. Even the very word *salvation,* - which is inclusive of repentance- totally reveals what we escaped when we receive Christ- we escaped the wrath to come. Remain blessed. *MEDITATION* *And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.* (Luke 3:6-8 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Hello_October* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/10/keeping-body-balanced-ii.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
