God has revealed Himself to us by creation and by God’s Word, the Holy Bible. The greatest revelation of God was the coming of Jesus Christ from heaven to the earth to redeem mankind from their sins and restore the fellowship between God and man. God sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross in our place, for our sins. We know from Jewish and Roman historical records that Jesus lived and died as described in the Bible. We have eyewitness testimony that Jesus performed miracles while on earth. We have proof that Jesus died, was buried and on the third day rose from the dead. The divinity of Jesus was confirmed once and for all by His resurrection because only God can rise from the dead.
48. Luke 15:7 – (Jesus speaking) – I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
49. Ephesians 3:14-15 – For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.
50. John 1:12-13 – But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
51. Luke 15:4 – What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
In this blog series I have written out all 51 Scriptures listed in the well-worn “Father’s Love Letter”, in the order they are listed in the letter. If you ever feel lonely and unloved go back and read all 51 verses. You’ll realize that the Creator of the universe, Almighty God, created you with His own hands and you are His beloved possession. In God’s eyes you are His masterpiece and you are priceless. You’re a prince or princess of heaven and will one day return to heaven in glory to live with God. Rejoice and praise God! We’re to persevere on this earth in faith. We’re to witness for Christ and do good works until Jesus comes again to gather us to Himself.
