Isaiah 48:17-19. Matthew 1:16-19

The faithful to the Father’s Word are redeemed and sanctified in and through His Love and through their obedience in the Way in and through Our love and the light and leading of Our Holy Spirit. And they are members of His Kingdom of Eternal Life and Light and Love, progressing towards perfection and fulfilment in the fulness of the loving Father’s Presence in eternity. Those unresponsive to His Word and Love and to His will and loving purpose are continually making their choice; they are free to turn and return to the Way, the Truth, the Life, though their power to do so diminishes as they delay or procrastinate in their life and living.

“Thus says the Lord your God, your redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the Lord your God, your redeemer, The Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord your God who teaches you the way for your own good and leads you in the way you should go. Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your prosperity would have been like a river and your success like the waves of the sea…….’” (Isaiah 48:17-19.)
