Jesus really does love us! His word is truth!

 

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.[a] 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them[b] in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,[c] that they also may be sanctified[d] in truth.

~John 17: 9-19

Wow, Jesus really does love us! We need to be like Jesus, live for Heaven and not for this world. We are not of this world. This world is demonic now, run by Satan, so many have become slaves for Satan, doing so much evil, there is so much hate, greed, corruption, fraud, jealousy, envy, insecurity, and overall wickedness, because of things of this world. We need to change our mindset, we need to live for the Heavenly world, where we will have life eternal in Heaven with Jesus. We cannot become consumed by things of this world. This world only brings death. We too are called to pray for others, that is our calling! God gave us Jesus, He is our Emmanuel, our God with us and when we follow Him, when we reflect, imitate, and love like Jesus, we are promised life eternal in Heaven with Him! Today, too many people are way too consumed by this world. So many live without God, Jesus, the Bible, and religion in general, they cannot be bothered. They prefer to smoke, drink, use drugs, gamble, have so many vices and dismiss and make excuses for going to church or following the teachings of Jesus. It is so sad. So many use their free will, to avoid God and do what they want in very selfish ways. It really though is all about following what God wants, following the model in Jesus, and loving all, that is our assignment on this Earth School world journey so that we can get into Heaven!
