God Met Ons – Vir Ewig!

God Met Ons – Vir Ewig!

“Want so lief het God die wêreld gehad dat Hy sy eniggebore Seun gegee het, sodat elkeen wat in Hom glo, nie verlore gaan nie, maar die ewige lewe het” (Johannes 3:16 NKJV, beklemtoning myne).

God het Jesus nie aan die mensdom geleen nie. Jesus het nie bloot as ‘n mens verskyn, soos die tyd toe Hy Abraham besoek het nie (Genesis 18:16-17). Die Seun van God het mens geword!

Sy naam sal genoem word “Immanuel – wat beteken ‘God met ons’” (Matthéüs 1:23, NIV 84).

God het uit die hemel neergedaal om by ons te wees, nie net vir 33 jaar nie, maar Jesus, God die Seun, is vir ewig met ons!

“Daarom, toe Christus in die wêreld gekom het, het Hy gesê: ‘Slagoffer en spysoffer het U nie begeer nie, maar ‘n liggaam wat U vir My berei het’ (Hebreërs 10:5 NIV 84).

“Want vir ons is ‘n kind gebore, aan ons is ‘n Seun gegee; en die regering sal op sy skouer wees. En sy Naam sal genoem word Wonderbaar, Raadgewer, Magtige God, Ewige Vader, Vredevors” (Jesaja 9:6, NKJV beklemtoning myne).

God het ons sy Seun gegee om ‘n ware mens te word, met menslike “vlees en bloed, Hy het ook deel gehad aan [ons] mensheid” (Hebreërs 2:14 NIV 84). En Jesus behou sy menslikheid vir ewig sodat ons kan weet dat God met ons is, dat God vir ons is, dat God nie vir ons skaam is nie:

Beide die een wat die mense heilig maak en die wat heilig gemaak word, is van dieselfde familie. Jesus is dus nie skaam om hulle broers te noem nie (Hebreërs 2:11 NIV84, beklemtoning myne).

Deur die ewigheid heen, is ons wat sondaars is, gered deur genade, nie tweederangse burgers in die hemel nie; ons word nie as misdadigers op parool beskou nie. Deur Jesus se offerande, deur ‘n ware mens te word, is ons spesie nader aan God sou Adam nie gesondig het nie. Deur Jesus word die mensdom verhef en vereer tot ‘n hoër posisie en ‘n nouer verhouding met God as wat Adam in sy onskuld kon geweet het. Jesus, God die Seun, is nou ten volle mens, en deur Hom regeer ‘n mens nou in die hemel, ‘n mens sit nou op die troon, ‘n mens regeer nou die kosmos (Jesaja 9:6) – en hierdie wonderlike God van liefde is nie skaam om deel van ons familie te wees nie!

En deur Jesus, wat nie net die Seun van God is nie, maar ook die Seun van die mens is – die afstammeling van Adam, ‘n lid van ons menslike familie, op hierdie planeet, waar Satan sy banier geplant het, waar Adam se heerskappy deur die bose oorgeneem is, waar sonde en boosheid floreer, en die skoonheid van God se skepping bederf en verduister is, die enigste plek in die heelal waar sonde oorvloedig is – hier is God se genade des te meer oorvloedig, aangesien Jesus nie net mens geword het nie, nie net Satan verslaan het nie, nie net die mensdom verlos het nie, maar Hy sal ook die setel van God se regering na die aarde skuif en vir ewig in die toekoms van hierdie planeet af regeer (Openbaring 21:2-3)!

Wees in verwondering, staan verbaas, laat jou hart verneder word in aanbidding en liefde, want ons Skepper God skaam hom nie vir ons nie en sal nooit vir ons skaam wees nie – Hy het ons lief en verlang net om ons te genees van alle sonde, alle gebrek, alle hartseer en seerkry! Hy verlang daarna om elke vrees weg te neem, om ons te reinig van alle skuldgevoelens, skaamte en sonde; om elke tekortkoming te verwyder en om ons te herstel tot gelykvormigheid aan Christus in alle dinge.

God is met ons!

“Want diegene wat God tevore geken het” sal sy liefde ontvang en hulle harte in vertroue vir Hom oopmaak, “dié het hy ook voorbestem om gelykvormig te word aan die gelykenis van sy Seun, sodat hy die eersgeborene onder baie broers kon wees. … Wat sal ons dan in reaksie hierop sê? As God vir ons is, wie kan teen ons wees? Hy wat sy eie Seun nie gespaar het nie, maar hom vir ons almal oorgegee het, hoe sal Hy nie ook saam met hom ons ook alles genadiglik gee nie? … Wie sal ons skei van die liefde van Christus? Sal moeilikheid of swaarkry of vervolging of hongersnood of naaktheid of gevaar of swaard dit doen? … Nee, in al hierdie dinge is ons meer as oorwinnaars deur Hom wat ons liefgehad het. Want ek is daarvan oortuig dat geen dood of lewe, of engele of demone, die hede of die toekoms of enige kragte, nie hoogte of diepte of enigiets anders in die hele skepping ons sal kan skei van die liefde van God wat in Christus Jesus, onse Here, is nie” (Romeine 8:29-39 NIV 84, beklemtoning myne).

Wees bly, o hemele! Wees verbaas, o aarde, want God is met ons – en ons kan kies om by Hom te wees!

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

T. Banda, Malawi, Africa

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana
