SEVEN SCRIPTURES THAT REVEAL THE GOOD INTENSIONS OF OURGOOD FATHER-GOD 1

It is easy to know the character of someone, from the words that he or she speaks. It is also is also easy to know the intensions of someone from what he or she says that he wants to do. Many times, people are convicted in court because of oral evidence which they gave, so long as it was documented on a tape, or because they wrote it down.
I believe that in the same way, the good heart, and the good intensions of our loving father –God, can be mirrored, through the following scriptures.
1 John 4:9-God loves you and wants you to live, “In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because He sent His only begotten son into the World, that we might live through him.”So you can clearly see that He loves us, and He wants us to live, and not to die, and the reason he sacrificed His son, is so that we might live, through him.
In 1 Peter 2:9, we read, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him, who has called you out of darkness, into His marvelous light:..”There again, we can see that He has chosen us and called us out to Himself, to be a special people, a peculiar people, what could be more than that, and this is not a mere assumption but a statement of fact, and I will never forget something I heard a preacher say onetime which I know is true, that God never gives birth to failures. There is really no one that has followed God according to the principles of faith laid out in His word that has ended up a failure.
In Romans chapter 8 and verse 31, we read, “What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” This is simply telling me that that God is for us, and not against us, He is not holding a cane and waiting for us to make a slip so that He will show us that we are stupid, He is on our side.
In Isaiah 1:18, we read, “Come now let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow; though they be red as crimson, they shall be as white as wool”, He does not want us to run from Him, when we err, He is not accusing us either, He wants us to come back to Him, so that the dirt will be washed away, and we can be clean again, what loving father, He is.
