The God who created the Heavens
and Earth is a God of compassion. He is slow to anger and rich in love and he
will be near to whomever who call on him in truth (Psalm 145).
In the Old Testament we see the
life of Jacob, who cheated his brother, got the blessings escaped for his life.
While on the run, he met God in a dream that changed him. Once you meet God,
your life starts changing. While returning to his brother, he was very afraid.
In Genesis 32 we find that Jacob was in deep trouble and he wrestles with God
and God changed him to Israel. This shows the love of God towards mankind. When
a person follows Him, God is compassionate towards the follower. The children
of Jacob / Israel are called as the chosen children of God.
When Jesus Christ was on the
world, in Mathew 14, he heard tragic news about the death of John the Baptist. He
felt very sad and went to a solitary place. But the multitudes also followed
him. Even in that sad moment in His life, He fell compassion upon the people
and healed them. He also did miracle and fed 5000 men, women and children with
5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.
When you follow God and listens
to him, He will make an everlasting covenant with you (Isaiah 55).
When your feet do not stumble
while following Him, He will answer you when you call upon him and hear your
prayer and supplications (Psalms 17)
The greatest blessings a man can
have in this word are to get his sins forgiven (Psalms 32). “Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one
whose sin in the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no
deceit”
To be forgiven from sin, you just
need to repent your sins before God. He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and cleanse us from all wickedness (1 John 1:9).
When you go through tough times
in life, always remember, there is a God who can change your situation. You
just need to repent your sins, accept the grace Jesus gave you by sacrificing
himself on the cross for your sins, and claim that salvation. Call upon the
Lord, receive his word and overcome the world in Jesus name
