CONTEMPLATING THE IMPORTANCE OF HOW GOD STARTS WITH "ONE"

There are times when i find myself thinking about just how complicated life can be, and simply amazed that God can see, and control, and find the time to be Omnipresent everywhere and in everything ! The concept of Omnipresence seems so BIG. I look at myself and my life in this huge perspective and i must admit that it makes me feel Very Small and Very Insignificant indeed. Like a single drop of water or perhaps a single grain of sand. Alone these things can seem tiny and useless, and yet they can join together to make up our entire Earth. An Earth resplendent with Huge land masses that cultivate place, shelter, sustenance and Life Itself. Massive bodies of water making up oceans, lakes, and rivers teeming with life; falling from the sky to provide the very essentials for all of life, food and water. ALL of this from ONE GOD, our Creator, to allow us to Exist. Many cultures and societies worshipped a multitude of gods, with every little god impacting a certain area of life. Fertility, war, agriculture, death, and many, many others. The world was full of so many little gods and belief systems….should we be surprised then that the One True God and Creator would look around at mankind and select One Man in this sea of paganism to reveal HIS PLAN instead ? God spoke to Abram (Abraham) and selected him to build Relationship and Covenant with. Through this ONE Man, the seeds of Israel and humanity were planted. Interesting as well how God chose ONE People to be His Own. The importance of One People Group to give His Commandments and share His Way To Live. We have to remember as well that God had created ONE Man, Adam, to be in relationship with, and also created ONE Woman, Eve, for Adam to be in companionship with. Through this man, ONE Sin pushed mankind out of relationship with God and set in motion the Gift of God’s ONE and Only Son as THE ONE AND ONLY WAY for mankind to find forgiveness for sin and return to a full relationship with God The Father. JESUS CHRIST ! THE ONE AND ONLY SON OF GOD ! WOW !

NOW THE LORD SAID TO ABRAM, “GO FORTH FROM YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR KINDRED AND YOUR FATHER’S HOUSE TO THE LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU AND I WILL MAKE OF YOU A GREAT NATION, AND I WILL BLESS YOU AND MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT, SO THAT YOU WILL BE A BLESSING. Genesis 12:1-2

JUST AS ABRAHAM “BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” KNOW THAT IT IS THOSE OF FAITH WHO ARE THE SONS OF ABRAHAM. Galatians 3:6

FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND THERE IS ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS. 1 Timothy 2:5

JESUS SAID TO HIM, “I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME. John 14;6

It is truly beautiful for us as followers of Jesus that we may also celebrate the many blessings of God’s viewpoint of ONENESS being of such importance and value. WE AS BELIEVERS HAVE ONENESS IN CHRIST ! We abide in Him and He in us as ONE. We are able to become consecrated and able to mature into Righteousness through His Love for us and through His Fulfillment of Our Salvation. As a Gentile, i am also humbled to be “Grafted In” to the family of God through the sacrifice Jesus made for My Sin. Each and every person is lost in their sinful nature and separated from God…but God always searches for His Lost Sheep. EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS IMPORTANCE AND VALUE TO HIM ! By His Grace we are all a part of HIS KINGDOM once we have given our life to Christ and walk in His Ways. ONE NEW MAN. Isn’t it incredible also that there is not a list of dozens of things “We” need to achieve and accomplish to meet God’s criteria for Forgiveness and Salvation ! We can do “nothing” on our own. JESUS is Our Only Path. Once we truly understand that TRUTH, our Path and Purpose also becomes a Singular Focus. GOD AND RELATIONSHIP BECOMES EVERYTHING TO US !Each and every ONE OF US is “The” lost sheep that God will do everything for to bring us close to Him. Life is full of many challenges and trials, but once you have built a Firm Foundation In Jesus, it becomes much more clear and satisfying to behold Life’s Journey. We Are Set Free :)

NOW AS WE HAVE MANY PARTS IN ONE BODY, AND ALL THE PARTS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME FUNCTION, IN THE SAME WAY WE WHO ARE MANY ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST AND INDIVIDUALLY MEMEBERS OF ONE ANOTHER. Romans 12: 3-4

FOR HE HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE, WHO HAS MADE BOTH ONE, AND HAS BROKEN DOWN THE WALL OF SEPARATION, HAVING ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH THE EMNITY, THAT IS, THE LAW OF THE COMMANDMENTS CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES, SO AS TO CREATE IN HIMSELF ONE NEW MAN FROM THE TWO, THUS MAKING PEACE. Ephesians 2:14-16

ONE SHEEP IS LOST. THE MAN LEAVES THE 99 AND SEEKS THE LOST SHEEP UNTIL HE FINDS IT. THE MAN BRINGS BACK THE LOST SHEEP ON HIS SHOULDERS, CALLS FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TOGETHER TO REJOICE. “JOY SHALL BE IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTS.” Luke 15:4-7

The TRUTH about our lives is that we have ONE CHOICE that will determine EVERYTHING. CHOOSE JESUS and your life will be in His Will and His Hands. I know that we all have challenges along the way, but HE WILL build you up and hone your skills and maturity as HE moves you to Righteousness through your Relationship and Intimacy with Him along with the Guidance of The Holy Spirit in your life. This ONE Choice will lead you to ETERNAL LIFE with Jesus as Your King. Should you choose to Reject Him and count on yourself and the world, the challenges will pile on top of each other without resolution or purpose. At the end of your life, you will have learned nothing, received nothing, and simply face Death. All Lost, and Separation from God for Eternity. The king of hell, satan, will eagerly await your arrival and suffering.Can it be any more clear that GOD IS THE ONE CREATOR WITH THE ONE PLAN FOR ABUNDANT LIFE ? A life filled with Hope, Peace, Joy, and Rest. The world tells us that nothing revolving around Singularity of Oneness is of value. This LIE is everywhere. No One Individual is important. No One Parent can raise a child. No One Business person can build anything by themselves. Vision and ideas are always collaborative. No Truth is singular. Truth is always open to perspective, opinion, culture and debate. There is no singular moral position on any topic. Truth is constantly in flux. No one religion has it right. I Believe that these “false” assertions are built on man’s false wisdom and pride, along with Foolishness. REAL TRUTH IS IN GOD AND HIS WORD. HE ALONE KNOWS RIGHT AND WRONG. Many will reject that Truth, but to those that meditate on it and embrace it will find a path of Purpose full of everything one should value. BE THE ONE THAT EMBRACES IT AND TAKES ACTION IN IT ! ONE IN CHRIST/JAA

AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY. THAT GOD GAVE US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. 1 John 5:11
