Clinging For Eternity

John 3:16-17

"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.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him."

Growing up as a Baptist, you learned to memorize John 3:16; "For God So Loved The World That He Gave Them..."
Very early in life I heard from my mom Jesus Died, because He loved me...
It is hard to wrap our brains around the faith that God Is Good, and Heaven Is Real.... But, Jesus did in fact come, show us God's healing love, was not selective, and then went to hell to get, back what was God's, and all those who were waiting there in Paradise for their souls to be redeemed... 

Now He will be returning to Rule here with those Who He Redeemed... Who relies on, Clings to, and trust in His Love for them....

That be me!

Who Accepts Me

3 John 1:7-9

"For these [traveling missionaries] have gone out for the Name’s sake (for His sake) and are accepting nothing from the Gentiles (the heathen, the non-Israelites).
So we ourselves ought to support such people [to welcome and provide for them], in order that we may be fellow workers in the Truth (the whole Gospel) and cooperate with its teachers.
I have written briefly to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to take the lead among them and put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority and refuses to accept my suggestions or to listen to me."

This is just me, PJCopty, wanting to share with All of you in ministry with me all over the world. Those of you who know me as Pastor PAULA, get to have more one on one with me, like John is saying here... Then there are those who only know me by what Jesus Does through me as I yield to Him in worship. 
So, it is really up to each person to test my spirit and see if I am of God are not... 
But, John is dressing an issue of lying and taking goods not for Jesus Namesake, but for their own self important gain... God forbid if I do do this to you... You deserve to see Jesus in me, I deserve Him Who died to bring me to The Father by Him, and we all deserve Heaven... Because it was made just for US...
