God’s love shines through!

Sodom and Gomorrah! Destroyed. Annihilated. All that remains is ashes, dust and God’s belligerent vengeance and anger over the sexual perversity and immorality of the time. Doomed to silence forever with the message for all time: SIN DOES NOT PAY! YET, GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

Punishment inevitably awaits SIN. Sodom and Gomorrah is not about GOD’S hunt for punishment or his harsh hand of vengeance. It’s all about his endless LOVE and willingness to go the extra miles for the salvation of mankind from the EVIL clutches and stangulating grips of Satan. GOD’S LOVE go beyond our human understanding and tolerance. At all times, GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

God promise Abraham a descendants as numerous as the stars above and The sands below. Abraham was chosen so that he will command his sons and descendants to obey God and to do what is right and just. And FAITH was the basis for the great promise. Abraham and Sarah are aged and well beyond child bearing. Abraham have FAITH and was counted Righteous but Sarah laugh out in disbelief. Yet, God’s PROMISE never fail and out comes Issac: Laughters, smiles and happiness fills the airs. GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

The hunt for just and innocent man begins at Sodom and Gomorrah. God’s call to all is to bring everyone to his saving grace. The count down rings out loud, clear and is for all mankind. 50, 45, 30, 20, and finally settling at 10. But God go beyond literally pushing Lot and his family to safety. But what a sad and tragic end. Lot’s wife still perished looking back and turning into Salt. JESUS CHRIST words: You are the LIGHT and the SALT of the WORLD comes through mind. GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

Lot loves the green valleys and the perennial rivers and streams running through it. Perhaps the riches of Egypt, the fertile and lively greeneries of the Nile river come into picture. Finally, ending up at Sodom and Gomorrah. Pushed out to safely yet his wife perished with her eyes fixed always on Sodom and Gomorrah and nothing else. Grief stricken, he moved to the hills and in a cave he ended up being a father to Moab and Benammi (Moabites and Ammonites) through his daughters. A sad and tragical ending to one who moves out in FAITH with Abraham from Haran to Canaan with full of promises! Yet God’s LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

Abraham choose God. The place and setting are inconsequential. With GOD impossible is nothing. The lost son is never lost. Nineveh was destined for destruction but blessed. Why was it so? All because they turn back to whom the heaven and the earth and all things including you and me own our existence: Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

The earnest pleading of Abraham saves Lot and his daughters. The sincere repentance of the people of Nineveh saved them from destruction and total annihilation from God’s wrath and anger. All this despite of Jonah’s reluctance to reaching out to Israel’s arch rival. GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH!

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord JESUS CHRIST. 1 Thessalonians 5:9. GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH BRIGHTLY IN HIS FREE GIFT:JESUS CHRIST! Come accept HIM as your Savior and King and let darkness and Satan be banished from your life forever.

Let in JESUS CHRIST in to your LIFE and make GOD’S LOVE SHINES THROUGH YOUR LIFE BRIGHTLY EVER! STAY BLESSED!
