But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day. Deuteronomy 4:20

How beautiful and gracious our God is! In fact, He is the only Lord, full of love and kindness. He says He never changes, therefore we will not be consumed (Malachi 3:6). However, religion has been bad and destructive because by teaching that the Lord is always behind us to record our mistakes and condemn us to eternal punishment, it has made millions of people feel abandoned and condemned to the eternal flames.

It’s true that there are many people who have indulged in wrongdoings and unless they convert they will suffer throughout eternity. However, this cannot be the ultimate message but rather a serious warning. Today, we can and should take our stand in Christ, being freed from all evil and at the same time rising up to enjoy the precious freedom that Jesus conquered on the cross for us. The Lord loves everyone!

Jesus was taken to the Calvary to make you a child of God, a person free from every evil influence, and also for you to become His people of inheritance (Deuteronomy 4:20). So do not be fooled by the lies that the enemy has spread throughout the world and has made many blessed children of God consider themselves lost forever. Sinners just need to go to the Lord and confess their errors.

He has brought us out of Egypt’s iron furnace, which symbolizes the lake that will burn with fire and brimstone for eternity (Revelation 20:10). He didn’t deliver you by means of an order of release on your behalf, but rather with the very life of His Son. In doing so, He had you in mind and wanted you to be His inheritance, someone who would give Him much joy. Therefore, His grace can make you the person He dreamed about and for whom He suffered.

In the spiritual world, the work is already done. From the day Jesus was raised from the dead your record is clean, nailed at the cross and washed in the blood of the beloved Son of God. So, all you need to do is accept this fact as true and believe that you can be changed, forgiven, saved and re-created now. God is ready to welcome you as His child and give you power over evil (John 1:12; Luke 10:19). However, it is necessary that you surrender to Him at this very moment.

Why leave it for later? Don’t play with your luck, because the devil has great anger against you and knowing that there is little time for him his greatest effort is to keep the Word of God from being preached as it should be. Now make the decision that God expects to hear from your lips for so long. Confess that you have sinned and ask for His forgiveness. In doing so, the Lord will recreate you and there will be no trace of the old creature in your life.

It’s up to you to decide. Your happiness depends on what you choose at this point. All that the devil has done in your life, or through you, will be undone now. Be firm! Your happiness can start with your simple attitude of going back to where God has called you and anointed you. Do not let the devil win over your faith because this battle is decisive for your eternal happiness.

In Christ with Love,
