Mat 21:8-14 "Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?" And the crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee." And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers." And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them."

"On a more fundamental level the priesthood, the tabernacle, and the sacrifices together express three aspects of God's dwelling with human beings. God's relation to human beings always involves His personal presence, His order, and His power exerted to bless or curse.  ...The tabernacle structure itself represents the divinely imposed order. ... The sacrifices embody preeminently the aspect of God's power exerted for people's benefit. ... The personal presence of God is symbolized by the ark." Vern Poythress

Heb 9:19-28 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you." And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Mat 17:1-6 "And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified."

"When Jesus, praying on a mountaintop, was transfigured in the presence of Peter, James and John, they saw Moses and Elijah with Him. Moses had heard the voice of God on the top of Sanai; later, Elijah had been brought to the same mountain to hear God speak, not in the fire and tempest, but in the quiet whisper of God's sovereign word. The cloud of glory that had srrounded Moses on Sanai again enveloped Jesus and His disciples. God's voice again spoke from the cloud. But God did not proclaim another ten commandments to be added to the words of His covenant of old. Rather, the voice from the cloud said, 'This is my Son, whom I have chosen listen to him'(LK. 9:35)"

Heb 3:1-6 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses--as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

Joh 17:23-26 "I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."

The Absolute Love Father, Son, Spirit: Three in One!

"John 12, 13, and 17 lay the groundwork for the cross to be understood as the moment when God and Christ are glorified and glorify one another, for at the cross love and truth meet, righteousness and peace kiss each other (cf. Ps. 85:11, ET 10). In the Upper Room Discourse Jesus teaches his disciples to love one another as he has loved them, and he is so lovingly committed to the truth that he sacrificed himself to make mercy possible for others. Jesus prays in John 17 that the Father will glorify him, that his disciples will see his glory and thereby unite in loving one another the way he has loved them. This is a love that shows forth God’s glory in justice and in mercy. The love of Jesus upholds justice and extends mercy. Through the judgment that falls on Jesus, salvation comes."

Jon 2:7-10 "When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love. But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!" And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land."

"Idolatry is a provocation because it gives what is due to Yahweh, worship, to those who are not worthy of worship. Not only does it deny Yahweh the glory due his name, but idolatry also corrupts and destroys those who engage in it. Yahweh is thus provoked because of his supreme love for himself and because of his concern for what is good for his people. Idolatry corrupts and destroys lives and Yahweh is too righteous to be unconcerned that he does not discipline. The discipline is meant to lead to salvation." James M.

Joh 14:1-3 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."

"Ah, that will be love indeed which will overflow our souls forever in our Father's house above! Who can tell the transports, the rapures, the amazement of delight which love shall beget in us? and who can guess the sweetness of the song, or the swiftness of the obedience which the heavenly expressions of love made perfect? No heart can conceive the surpassing bliss which the saints shall enjoy when the sea of their love to Christ, and the ocean of Christ's love to them, shall meet each other, and raise a tempest of delight."

1Co 16:14 "Let all that you do be done in love."

"Personal intercourse with Jesus is pre-eminently a cause of love, and it so infallibly quickens the affections that it is impossible to live in the society of Jesus without loving Him. Nearness of life towards the Lamb will necessarily involve greatness of love to Him. As nearness to the sun increases the temperature of the various planets, so close communion with Jesus raises the heat of the affections towards Him." C. H. Spurgeon

Php 2:5-8 "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."

"....nothing can be our redemption, but the restoration of the lost humility, the original and only true relation of the creature to its God. And so Jesus came to bring humility back to earth, to make us partakers of it, and by it save us."  Andrew Murray

"The life God bestows is imparted not once for all, but each moment continuously, by the unceasing operation of his mighty power.

Absolute Love begins in us by looking outside ourselves and knowing to drink only from the true fountain of love.

Don't follow a religion, the only way to be transformed is through relationship with the Absolute Love. Yeshua, Isa, Jesus.

"One of the old Church Fathers said that we cannot better understand the Trinity than as a revelation of divine love-- the Father, the loving One, the Fountain of love; the Son, the beloved one, the Reservoir of love, in whom love was poured out; and the Spirit, the living love that united both and then overflowed into the world." Andrew Murray

He is Absolute Love.

The Absolute Love the Lord and son of Abraham.           Joh 8:56=58 "Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad."  So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."           Gen 15:1 "After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."               He is the Word of the Lord and has been eternally.            Joh 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made."

Daniel saw Him while in captivity.               Dan 7:13-14 "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed."                 He lived on earth as Jesus of Nazareth. He is the giver of life and the judge of all.          Joh 5:20-27 "For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.  Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man."               He has redeemed and will be honored by peoples from every tongue and nation.                Rev 5:5-10 "And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals." And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.  And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

People love a lot of things, the sin of many is they love the praise of other people. Better to love others because of the Absolute Love's presence in your life.                Joh 5:42-44 "But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"                    Do you know of when Moses wrote of Absolute Love? He is a witness to Yeshua of Nazareth (Isa).                          Joh 5:45-46 "Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"                 The Torah.    Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"          Jesus the great "I Am, that I Am" Yahweh.           

                         Followers of Islam learn and believe in the message of Moses and the Injeel of Jesus.  From the Koran-"We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered."

Yusuf Ali, Abdullah; Pickthall, Marmaduke; Shakir, Mohammad Habib (2008-04-16). Three Translations of The Koran (Kindle Locations 1771-1773). Kindle Edition.

The Absolute Love will be exalted, lift Him up.                 Joh 3:30-34 "He must increase, but I must decrease." He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure."                  There is a connection between belief and obedience. Absolute Love is not what you think, there is room for wrath. Absolute Love is absolute there is no measuring the overflowing love of His Spirit.                  Joh 3:35-36 "The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

Ed Stetzer - Jesus and Sexual Deviants

Ed Stetzer - Jesus and Sexual Deviants

Sexual Intercourse does not equate to love!

Absolute Love flows through Him to His creation. He is intent on redeeming what has been corrupted.                 Joh 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."               It is a simple remedy believe in His redemptive purposes in Jesus- Yeshua of Nazareth- Isa. Condemnation is not the issue, we are condemned already through rebellion and unbelief.                           Joh 3:18 "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."            Don't hold on to the dark, step out into the light of Absolute Love.                 Joh 3:19-21 "And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."        Light reveals the reality of what you love.

Absolute Love brings rest, apart from Him anxiety will take over and destroy peace.          Mat 6:25-26 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"        Anxiety will not add a single thing it only takes.                Mat 6:27 "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?"                          Anxiety is a task master causing only toil.            Mat 6:28-30 "And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?"                     Absolute Love is there if you seek Him.            Mat 6:31-33 "Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."              Theres enough to take care of today, seek God and and today's trouble can be handled without anxiety.       Mat 6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

There can only be one Absolute Love. Absolute Love demands, expects-is worthy of being loved as a great treasure.                        Mat 6:19-20 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."                     Your heart was meant to be centered on God. If you get centered on other things it is going to have a bad effect on all of your life.                             Mat 6:21-23 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!"                   Don't kid yourself, you can't live that double life.                     Mat 6:24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."

"For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings."

Absolute Love is not looking for you to make sacrifices. To know and love God, and love others through His power and love is all He asks. He will be pleased with your reliance upon Him.               Hos 6:6

The loss, the withdrawal of Absolute Love is the ultimate end time.           Absolute Love brings peace, harmony and loving obedience. The essence of hatred is lawlessness, cold heartedness.               Mat 24:12 "And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold."               In the midst of lawless hatred keep loving others anyway!              Mat 24:13 "But the one who endures to the end will be saved."

Absolute Love is eternal.                       1Pe 4:7-8 "The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins."                   It is a terrible existence to live in hatred, serving the passions of self.             Pro 10:11-12 "The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses."            The end means, not cessation or anihilation, but facing up to accountability.              1Pe 4:1-5 "Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead."

Have you ever experienced futility? Absolute Love brings fulfillment.               Eph 4:17 "Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds."             Futility starts in the heart that is closed off, unloving and estranged from Absolute Love.                    Eph 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart."                  Futility cause the heart to callous and grow small you will grasp for any thing that romises fulfillment, though never find it. This is futility.                Eph 4:19-20 "They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. But that is not the way you learned Christ!--"                How do you love people walking in this type of fultility?                    Eph 4:15 "... speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."

When Absolute Love takes over your desires become what Love desires.                Desire to be in touch with God and others. The whole earth (those who embrace the Love of God in Christ) will become one family. All fully satisfied with God.             Eph 3:14-19 "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."         Can't get around it, Can't reach beyond it, no getting over it, you can only, by faith fall into it, forever mining the depths of Absolute Love.                  Eph 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

Absolute Love is what we receive from God, it is the one thing we owe to everyone.                Rom 13:8 "Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law."                  There is one thing that matters that must be fulfilled. This is the summary of the ten commandments and the only true interpretation of the law in the Tanakh(Old Testament)                                      Rom 13:9-10 "For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

Absolute Love is transforming going beyond limits of our comprehension, making all things new.            Mat 22:37-40 "And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."                What is new after Jesus came, lived, died, rose again and lives now forever interceding on our behalf?  Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as Ihave loved you, you also are to love one another.       Love as He loved and gave Himself up.

 

Gen 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."      Absolute Love was in the beginning!                        Joh 1:1-5 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."         Absolute Love is now!                Col 1:13-17 "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."              Absolute Love will continue to be!                   Rev 1: 4 -8 " ...Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Absolute Love has no problem with forgiveness just come  and receive.                   Mar 2:5 "And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."             Unforgiving hearts are always skeptical and resistant.           

 Mar 2:6-8 "Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question these things in your hearts?"              Jesus is Absolute Love in the flesh he can forgive easy that's His very nature, also easy to heal and to perceive what is in the hearts of men.                   Mar 2:9-12 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic--  "I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home." And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

Absolute Love does not cause one to sit by and just be the center. God is still the center the gift and the giver. You won't experience His love in a vacuum.                    Jas 2:20 "Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? "              Abraham is an example of faith because He acted on His belief.           Jas 2:21 "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?"                  Faith is completed by the activities that display faithful obedience.              Jas 2:22-23 "You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"--and he was called a friend of God."                You cannot go on ignoring the commands of God and claim to have accepted His Absolute Love. We end up talking about faith  in a nonsensical manner.      Jas 2:24 "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."     Saved by faith alone, just not that kind of faith!

Absolute Love is Absolute, we often like the Loving part but have a lot of trouble with the Absolute part.                    Isa 45:5-7 "I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things."              "God has good purposes that are not thwarted but accomplished by evil. Apart from this, hope could be challenged."  Quoted from "God's Glory in Salvation Through Judgment" by James Hamilton Jr.

To be embraced by the Absolute Love, only one requirement. Believe!                   Rom 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."             Believe enough to, in faith, follow the path of righteousness.             Rom 1:17 "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."         Believe enough to live as in the presence of God in not suppressing what you know is true.          Rom 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth."               The Absolute Love of God is clearly there is no one who has an excuse.          Rom 1:19,20 "For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse."                    Do you believe enough to live out a life of giving Him honor through what you do?                 Rom 1:21 "For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened."              Futility is a frightening state to live in forever! 

To follow the Absolute Love is simple.                   Mat 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."               It is simple but you will be tempted to take a different path.                Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many."               Following is simple but very, very difficult.                   Mat 7:14 "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."

Absolute Love is the final arbiter, YHWH is absolute.          Do not delay or take for granted the grace, mercy, peace and love offered.                 Heb 12:14 "Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned." Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear." But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken--that is, things that have been made--in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."         The things that can not be shaken will endure through Absolute Love.          The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Pro 1:7

Absolute Love brings justice and judgment to those who refuse Love.                      Mat 25:41-46 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.  For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."           There is still time to embrace love.         1Co 6:9-11 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.  And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

1.2 million children are trafficked every year
Estimate by UNICEF
People are trafficked into prostitution, begging, forced labour, military service, domestic service, forced illegal adoption, forced marriage etc.                         Mat 25:34-36 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' "

There is no master, lord or king like the Absolute Love. The lords (baals) of other peoples were unloving and angry. Molech the fire (god) was worshipped by burning alive young children.                 Jer 7:31 "And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire"               Jer 32:35 "They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech."          The Ashteroth were fertility (gods) worshipped by enslaving female and male prostitutes to earn monies for the kings of the land and appeased by young virgins being sacrificed followed by sexual orgies in celebration.      The Absolute Love in contrast delivers from these hideous and enslaving practices.           Jer 32:37-41 "Behold, I will gather them from all the countries to which I drove them in my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, and I will make them dwell in safety. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them. I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul."             Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"      Who are you serving?
