Jesus Asks, "Do You Love Me?"

Holy Spirit Inspired

John 3:13-18
"No one has ever gone into heaven except
the one who came from heaven -- the Son of Man.
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert,
so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
that everyone who believes in him may have
eternal life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world
through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but
whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because he has not believed in the name of God's
one and only Son.
1 John 4:9,10
"This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might
live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; also put
your trust in me, Jesus Christ. For I Am the author and
perfecter of your faith.
In my Father's house there are many rooms. If this were
not so, I would have told you.
I am here, in heaven, preparing a place for you.
Because of your true and divine love for me.

I am coming back soon to take you to be with me.
I have your sacred and treasured name written in my
"Book of Life."
Love one another in the same way that I show my love
for you.
Pressing on Toward the Goal
Philippians 3:7-21 Paul is Speaking to Christ Jesus's Apostles
"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for
the sake of Christ.
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the
surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for
whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish,
that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a
righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that
which is through faith in Christ -- the righteousness that comes
from God and is by faith.
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the
fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in
his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from
the dead.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made
perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus
took hold of me.
Brothers I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead,

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has
called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
All of us who are mature should take a view of things. And if
on some point you think differently, that, too, God will make clear to you.
Only let us live up to what we have already obtained.
Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of
those who live according to the pattern we gave you.
For as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears,
many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their
glory is in their shame.
Their mind is on earthly things.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like
his glorious body."
"Do you love me?"
Seek first my kingdom.
Seek godly wisdom, guidence, knowledge, and understanding of the
"Holy One."
Pray continually, live in prayer. Focusing on your heavenly treasures.
Ask for anything in my name and I will give it to you.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love conquers the power of fear.
I love you, call on my name and walk the walk of faith in peace.
If you should happen to find yourself in a spiritual storm; enter in!
I will take your hand in my grace, and lead you to the far shore.
Bringing you into my Father's full glory.
