Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full–grown, brings forth death (James 1:13–15). If you could see how much joy the angels that are with Me have over you. If you could see how proud they are of you. God has revealed himself through THE Word, his Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible is ultimately about him. Remember, the Pharisees had the Scriptures, but Jesus rebuked them because they’d missed the whole point: ‘You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me’ (John 5:39). So as we read Scripture, we are learning more about Jesus and encountering him. We will see his ways, his goodness, his love, his power, his glory and his purity. As we get to know him better, we will know more intimacy with him. We will know what he loves and what he hates. We also have been given the Spirit, the same Spirit that inspired the writers. With the Spirit of God dwelling within us, helping us to see Christ, who is the exact image of his father, we are taking part in a divine moment. We are on holy ground.I am your Father and I love you even as I love my Son, Jesus (John 17:33).Understand, it is in Jesus My love for you is revealed (John 17:26). He is, in fact, the exact representation of My love and My being (Hebrews 1:3). He came to demonstrate that I am for you and not against you (Romans 8:31).He died so that you and I could once again be reconciled (2 Corinthians 5:18-19) — the ultimate expression of My love for you (1 John 4:10). I gave up everything I loved so I might gain your love in return (Romans 8:32). If you receive the gift of My beloved Son, Jesus, you also receive Me (1 John 2:23).In Him, nothing will ever separate you from My love (Romans 8:38-39). Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for you if you belong to Him (John 14:1-4). The New Jerusalem, on the new earth, is that place. But God knows you better than you know yourself. The fact that you sorrow over your sins and are determined to change is an honorable mindset that God loves. (Psalm 51:17) He is waiting for you to come to Him to get the help and power you need to overcome! (Hebrews 4:16) When you are “born again” by my Holy Spirit (John 3:3), then you become a new person (2 Corinthians 5:17) with a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26), a new self (Ephesians 4:24), and a new life (Romans 6:4). You have my precious righteousness as a gift (Romans 5:19). Your body becomes a temple for my Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19) and you become a saint (Ephesians 1:18).
