Doubly Blessed

My friends do you know that God made you? In the book of Genesis in Chapter two verses seven and eight it says " Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed." Later in the chapter is described the creation of woman. Genesis chapter two verses twenty through twenty two "The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man."

 

In the book of Jeremiah God describes his knowledge of the prophet in the womb. Jeremiah chapter one verses four and five "Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” So you can see that God knew Jeremiah from the beginning and it seems to make sense that he knows all of His children in this way.

 

Now friends, do you know that if you believe on Jesus as it says in the book of John chapter three verse sixteen "“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." That you have been bought with a price. Galatians chapter three verses thirteen through to fifteen puts it like this "Christ bought us with His blood and made us free from the Law. In that way, the Law could not punish us. Christ did this by carrying the load and by being punished instead of us. It is written, “Anyone who hangs on a cross is hated and punished.”Because of the price Christ Jesus paid, the good things that came to Abraham might come to the people who are not Jews. And by putting our trust in Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit He has promised. Christian brothers, let me show you what this means. If two men agree to something and sign their names on a paper promising to stay true to what they agree, it cannot be changed."

 

So you my friends if you believe on Christ Jesus are doubly blessed because God has made you and He has bought you. You are a child of God and this cannot be changed.
