REUNITED

What does it mean to be REUNITED?
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).
let us shift into perspective this very well-known scripture, as Marlon did Sunday at the God Encounter Meeting held at Portland Baptist church in Mitchell's Plain. We are given the explanation of how our salvation came about in this particular scripture, but when focusing on the intricate nature of God we can explore this in more detail. Pastor Marlon elaborated on this subject by drawing on a 'five-p theory': purpose-passion-price-plan-promise. let's explore:
purpose:we were created for God, by God, thus belonging to Him firstly, yet because of the fall of man (sin), we were unable to belong to Him in our fallen state so here's what He did...
passion: the love of God, compelled Him to make a way for us to be reunited to Him
price and plan: He decided to pay a precious price to redeem His beloved creation, this price was His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ
promise: He promises that whoever accepts this offering as amendment for their sins, will inherit eternity with God, which is where we belong
When looking at our salvation in this way we see that God is passionate about us and cannot see us spending eternity in Hell, therefore He made the ultimate sacrifice: Jesus, so that we do not have to suffer in eternal damnation. So my encouragement to every believer is that if God's passion drove Him to such extremes, why should we be passive about this passion?
Let us find ourselves desiring to lay at His feet and to feast at His table, let us desire to be Reunited to our HOLY FATHER.
