What exactly is God saying to us?

I never really understood the importance of one little word, “BEGOTTEN” until the Lord revealed His meaning to me just now!

I always thought “begotten” was more related to the miracle in the BIRTH of JESUS from John 3:16.   Yet, God knew all along that Jesus was given to be the 1st Begotten of the dead, so that all who will believe could choose to be washed from our sins in his own blood; and choose life!  And, choose blessings in this life with God!

Why would God do this incredible act of love for us –to sacrifice His only begotten Son?  Because the Bible says that God SO loved you and me!  Because God SO loved all who will simply believe in their heart that Jesus is the Son of God, who was the only one Qualified to accomplish Salvation for us and conquer the consequence of sin, which is death.  Jesus provided atonement and made reconciliation possible with a Holy and Living God, who longs for a relationship with us.

God has revealed to me in Revelation 1:5, Jesus Christ …is faithful & loved us … “and the first BEGOTTEN of the dead” … God’s only begotten Son has washed us from our sins in his own blood…”

God’s Word is amazing in Revelation! We know these things on some level, but to grow in understanding is absolutely amazing to me! God is amazing Grace & Wisdom beyond my comprehension!  We have a lot of information and knowledge in this world, but what the world needs is Revelation from God Himself through His Word, by faith in Jesus Christ!

The world represents who Jesus come for –not the heathy, but the sick.

God is deeply revealing to us His love for us & His plan of Salvation for us, as written also in John 3:14, and verse 15 “even so MUST the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

(God’s only BEGOTTEN Son): God So loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16-17King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Revelation 1:5King James Version (KJV)

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

God So loved you and me and the world, that He gave His only begotten Son for us that we might choose life and choose blessings –when there was no choice before!  Jesus has revealed to us life over death to all who will believe!

We know John 3:16 states, “God Gave His only Begotten Son…” and we know John 3:17 states, “…not to condemn sinners, but that through Him might be saved.”  I just found written in Revelation 1:5 from Jesus Christ, “…the first BEGOTTEN of the dead…”

How can the world refuse him now?

Much love and compassion in Christ,

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
