God's best!

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son. The Son is the most precious Person in God's eyes. His name is Jesus.

God knew that Jesus would die for the sins of all the people in the world, past, present and future. At the cross, all punishment had been borne by Jesus. He had finished the work for the world to be reconciled with God. For those who had accepted this redemption gift, they are called Christians. Christ died for sinners. He didn't die for people who are perfect in their conduct or for people who are morally upright, though these qualities are important.

Yet while we were sinners, Christ died for us. He took our place of sinfulness to give us the throne of righteousness. Christians are righteous because of the finished work at the cross. A divine exchange had taken place. God had given His best to the world and the world through this perfect gift has been reconciled with God.

Since God had given His best to the world, what more will He not, with Jesus, give to His sons and daughters! We just have to believe God is good and have a good opinion of God.

God will always want to come into our situations and turn them for our favour. His timing is always the best. There are times when He seems to be late in helping us but God is never late. If a child of God is dealing with dreaded disease, be assured that He is doing mightily behind the scene to turn thing around for that child. If a child of God is facing a financial crunch, be restful for God is working to turn the financial situation around for the good of the child. Just rest in His love for us. God is always on time. He will always give the best to His children. Hallelujah!
