Learning, living and loving by the truth

[Merizo @merizo_]

Even if we're dying with a single breath left, God made us such that a single breathe is more than enough to reach out in faith and receive our redemption. Everyone gets a chance, no one is beyond redemption.

[Merizo @merizo_]

Every soul is precious to God that's why He will go to great lengths to ensure their redemption, even if it cost everything. Every artist and creator knows what it means for something with your image (or signature) to languish in the dust, it is not a great sight.

[Merizo @merizo_]

Unlike the inanimate work of art that are unable to respond to their human creators, we are living beings who can respond to the Lord.

The full cost of redemption was paid
God's plan for creation - the Kingdom Resumes
Soul by soul, home by home, nation by nation
The Kingdom spreads until everything is restored
Everything outside of the Kingdom is judged
Sinners and sin are judged too
Righteousness reigns forever

[Merizo @merizo_]

God created something good and beautiful
The enemy then planted an evil seed
God set redemption in motion immediately
God hid his plans away from sabotage
In the fullness of time, Jesus came
Gave up everything to restore us to God
God's wrath was satisfied on the cross

The seller sees it as the end while the buyer sees it as the beginning of what is possible. When Jesus paid the ultimate price on the cross, He could see something more. When the enemy took Jesus as our replacement to let us loose, He couldn't see beyond the cross.

If you want to understand the true worth of an item, never ask the seller. True worth is always in the eyes of the buyer. A seller sees the item sold as having attained its maximum value while the buyer sees it as the minimum.

[Merizo @merizo_]

People hardly desire us at our worst. But you see Jesus, that's the very moment He decides to take possession. At our lowest, He still thinks we're worth saving. Our weakness is the perfect canvas for Him to illustrate His strength

[Merizo @merizo_]

You are worth every lash He took on the way to the cross. You are worth every drop of blood He shed. Do you want to remain a treasure lost in the field or a crown in the hands of the King? (Isaiah 62:3)

Parables don't only relay principles, they encourage events of eternal consequences. The Parable of the Weeds gives us a picture of the beginning and the final judgement. The Parable of the Leaven shows us how the Kingdom will spread into every corner of the earth.

[Merizo @merizo_]

If you haven't been able to appreciate the value of your life from being made in the image and likeness of God, perhaps you can be convinced by the cost of your redemption. You are worth every step Jesus took from the city to the hill of Golgotha.

[Merizo @merizo_]

Jesus said "He sold all He had" to purchase our salvation. Paul explained that Jesus "emptied himself." Salvation cost God something, it cost Jesus everything. All for you and I

Isaiah 62:3. Our salvation brings so much joy to the Lord. His precious jewel is back in His hands and in His presence.

We bring joy to the Lord.

You bring joy to the Lord.

[Merizo @merizo_]

It is so beautiful to see that we bring joy to the Lord. God has always wanted humanity to be in fellowship with Him, that's the whole purpose of creation. To have us back from being buried in the dust is such a joy. When one soul is saved, there is so much joy in heaven.

[Merizo @merizo_]

Another reason we bring joy to the Lord is because treasures are not meant to be in the dirt in the field. The most honourable place for a treasure to be is in possession of the King. "You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God"
