Eight things the LORD JESUS wants us to know

Have you ever asked yourself and the LORD JESUS of the things He wants us to know? If you do, we share the same interest. Earlier today, I asked the LORD JESUS what are the things He wants us to know and here are His divine answers:

1. He wants us to know that He is the One and Only True Living GOD.

It is written in Hosea 6:6 in the Bible that the LORD wants us to know Him. He told me the same when I asked Him earlier today of the things He wants us to know. He said He wants us to know Him and believe in Him as the One and Only True Living GOD. He said He is the Father in Spirit and He gave Himself a body when He walked on earth as fully GOD and fully man 2,000 years ago. In Matthew 4:7, the LORD JESUS revealed Himself as the LORD our GOD. Here is the verse “Jesus answered him, “It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” The LORD JESUS told Satan not to tempt Him, the LORD our GOD. That is a clear revelation of who JESUS is. He is the LORD our GOD. The LORD JESUS also revealed Himself to John in Revelation 1:17-18 which say, “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then He placed His right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." The LORD JESUS revealed Himself as the first and the Last. It means He is the First and no one is above Him. He is the same GOD our ancestors worship before in the Old Testament. Let us check Isaiah 44:6 which say, “This is what the Lord says Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the First and the Last; apart from Me there is no GOD.” According to this verse, the LORD JESUS who died for us and now lives forever and ever is called the First and the Last and the Only GOD; for He says that apart from Him there is no GOD. In 1 John 5:20, it is also revealed that the LORD JESUS is the True GOD and eternal life. Here is the verse: “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.” 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 also reveals that the LORD JESUS is the GOD who guided our ancestors out of Egypt and led them to the Promised Land. Here is the verse: “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.” Therefore let us believe in the LORD JESUS as the One and Only True Living GOD and be saved. 

2. He wants us to know that He is love.

1 John 4:8 says this, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” The LORD JESUS wants us to know that He is love that is why we should love one another as much as He has loved us (John 13:34). The LORD JESUS wants us to know and keep in mind that we should love Him and our neighbors for it is His greatest commandments. Let us meditate on this verse found in Matthew 22:37-39 which say, “Jesus replied, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” The LORD JESUS also reminded us in this verse found in Leviticus 9:18 which say, “Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord.” The LORD JESUS also wants us to remember this verse in Ephesians 4:2-3 which say, “Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another. Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together.”

3. He wants us to know that He is good and loving.

Nahum 1:7 says this, “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.” Based on my walk with the LORD JESUS, I have experienced, discovered, and proven that He is good. He forgives me when I ask for forgiveness. He understands my flaws and imperfections. He strengthens my faith and never left me. He comforts me and encourages me when I feel down and lonely. He guides, teaches, and advises me. He treats me like a precious child. And, He was never mad at me. He is so sweet, humble, and kind that I always long and desire to be with Him. Oh, how I love You LORD JESUS. I just want to be with you all the days of my life.

4. He wants us to know that He loves us so much.

Let me quote this verse in Jeremiah 31:3 which say, “The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Based on this verse the LORD revealed to us that His He loves us with an everlasting love. His love never fades. And, as a proof, He made Himself a body and came down here on earth from heaven to save us from sin and give us everlasting life by dying on the cross and rising again on the next day. He guarantees us that if we believe in His finished work on the cross and accept Him in our hearts and submit to His lordship and obey Him, we will be saved (John 3:16).

5. He wants us to know that His plans are for our own good.

All of the LORD JESUS’ plans for us are for our own good. Let me cite you this verse found in Jeremiah 29:11 which say, “For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Ever since the beginning of the world, the LORD JESUS' plans are for the good of all His creations especially us humans. He wants us all to live in eternity with Him in heaven. He never wanted to harm us but to give us abundant, happy, and wonderful life beside Him in heaven. Until now, that plan still holds true. He always makes ways to comfort us when we are sad and He offers refuge for us in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). He promised to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5) He is with us until the end of time (Matthew 28:20). All we have to do is to trust and believe and have a loving and faithful relationship with Him that is nourished with constant communication, humility, and obedience.

6. He wants us to know that He wants all of us to be saved and live in heaven with Him eternally.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 says this, “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” As told in this verse, the LORD JESUS wants us all to be saved. Salvation is not just for the Jews it is for all, either Jews or not. Romans 10:13 also says this, “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” So, you might ask, what is the name of the LORD? His name is JESUS CHRIST. Believe and seek Him now and you'll be saved. Kindly pray this sinner's prayer sincerely now, if you haven't received CHRIST in your heart yet and if you feel in your heart that you are willing to receive CHRIST. Pray this sincerely:

• LORD JESUS, I believe that You are our One and Only True Living GOD. Thank you for loving me and for dying on the cross and rising again on the third day to save me from sin. Please forgive me from all my sins and cleanse me from all my unrighteousness. I repented my sins. Please come into my heart and be my LORD and SAVIOR. I love You, LORD. I am now ready to receive You and serve You as my Master. Amen.

7. He wants us to know that we should repent and be baptized for us to be saved.
Allow me to quote this verse written in Acts 2:38 which say, “Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” This is what the LORD JESUS wants us to know and do, to repent and be baptized in His name so we will be saved. Repentance or turning away from sin and turning to JESUS as our LORD and Master lead to salvation. Let us consider this verse written in 2 Corinthians 7:10 which say, “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” That is why we should repent and be baptized because when we do that, we will receive the Holy Spirit and become born again Christians and be saved. Let us meditate on this verse in John 3:5 which say, “Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” In other words, we should all be baptized with water and receive the Holy Spirit so that we will all be saved.

8. He wants us to know that we should prepare our hearts for His second coming.

The LORD JESUS says this in John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” He also reminded us this in Matthew 24:44, “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Therefore, as a preparation for the LORD JESUS’ second coming, we should always make sure that our conscience is clear. Let us consider this verse found in 1 Peter 3:16 which say, “keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” Keeping a clean conscience means living according to GOD’s will and commands written in the Bible. We should strive each and every day to please JESUS and make sure all our decisions and actions will glorify Him as it is our purpose (Isaiah 43:7). Therefore, we should all be like Job in the Bible, who remained humble and obedient in spite of all His sufferings. He said this, in Job 27:6 “I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go; My heart will not condemn me as long as I live.”

In summary, the LORD JESUS wants us to know that He is our One and Only True Living GOD, He is love, He loves us so much, He is good and loving, His plans are always for our good, He wants us all to be saved that is why He wants us all to repent and be baptized, and to prepare for His second coming.
