Now Adam prefigured the one to come.But the gift of Jesus is not like the sin of Adam. Though many people died because of one man's sin, God's grace is so much greater and has been shared with so many through his gracious gift in the person of Jesus Christ.The result of the gift is not like that of the sin. The result of Adam's sin was judgment and condemnation, but the gift sets us right with God, despite our many sins.As a result of one man's sin, death ruled because of him. But God's grace is so much greater and his gift sets us right, for everyone who receives it will rule in life through the person of Jesus Christ!Just as one sin brought condemnation on everyone, in the same way one right act gave everyone the opportunity to live right.Just as through one man's disobedience many became sinners, in the same way through one man's obedience many are made right with God.It's through Jesus, trusting in him, that we've gained access to this position of grace where we now stand, looking forward with happiness and confidence to sharing in God's glory.

But now this is what the Lord says to Jacob, the one who created you; to Israel, the one who formed you: “Don't be afraid! I have saved you! I have called you by name; you are mine!However, you are my witnesses, the Lord declares, and my chosen servant, so that you can think about it, and believe me and understand that I am God. No god preceded me, and none will come after me.I, yes I am the Lord, and there is no Savior apart from me.I predicted what was going to happen, then I saved you, then I announced it—there was no foreign god among you that did this. You are my witnesses that I am God, declares the Lord.I am God from the beginning. No one can snatch anybody from my hand. No one can reverse what I do. This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: For your sake I will send attackers against Babylon and bring them down. All the Babylonians will be like fugitives, escaping in the ships they're so proud of.I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.This is what the Lord says, the one who makes a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters;the one who brought out a great army with its horses and chariots and laid them down, never to rise again, snuffed out like a burning wick.But don't dwell on the past; don't concentrate on what happened back then.Just look at something new I'm going to do now! In fact it's started already. Can't you see it? Yes, I'm making a way through the wilderness, rivers in the desert!When you walk through the water, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they won't flood over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you on fire.The wild animals will be grateful to me—the jackals and the owls—because I'm providing water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, so my people, my chosen people, can drink.I made this people for myself so that through their praise for me they could make me known.But you haven't called on me for help, Jacob. You've grown tired of me, Israel.You haven't brought me sheep for burnt offerings; you haven't honored me with your sacrifices. I haven't burdened you by asking for grain offerings; I haven't tired you out by demanding incense.You haven't used your money to buy scented calamus; you have not pleased me with the fat of your sacrifices. Instead you have burdened me with your sins, and tired me out with your guilt.I, yes I am the God who wipes out your sins because of who I am, and who doesn't remember your sins any more.Remind me of the evidence so we can come to a decision together! Present your case to prove that you're right!Your very first father sinned, and your leaders rebelled against me.So I treated the priests of the sanctuary with contempt, and I handed Jacob over to be destroyed, and Israel to be scorned.”For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

Since we have this hope we're never disappointed, for God's love has been poured into us through the Holy Spirit he's given us.

Look at the amazing kind of love the Father has for us! This is why we can be called God's children—for that's who we are! The reason why the people of this world don't recognize us as God's children is because they don't recognize him.This is how God's children and the devil's children can be distinguished: all those who don't do what's right don't belong to God, nor do those who don't love their fellow Christians.The message you've heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.We cannot be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and murdered his brother. Why did he murder him? Because Cain did what was evil, while his brother did what was right.So don't be surprised, my friends, if this world hates you!The reason we know that we have changed from death to life is because we love our Christian brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn't love remains dead.All those who hate their Christian brothers and sisters are murderers, and you know that no murderers have eternal life within them!This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.If one of you is living well in this world and you see your Christian brother or sister in need, but you don't show compassion—how can God's love be living in you?Dear friends, let's not just say we love with words, but show our love in what we do and how we demonstrate the truth.This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will set our minds at rest before GodMy friends, we are already God's children; however what we shall become hasn't been revealed just yet. But we do know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.

I will sing of the Lord's trustworthy love forever; I will tell all generations of your faithfulness.

There is no salvation in anyone else; there is no other name under heaven given to humanity that can possibly save us.”

But God demonstrates his love for us in that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

He saved us from a terrible death, and he will do so again. We have total confidence in God that he will continue to save us.

I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!

So, my good friends, continue to work towards the goal of salvation with complete reverence and respect for God, following what you were told—not just when I was with you, but even more so now I'm away from you.For it's God who is working within you, creating the will and the ability to do what he wants you to do.

These Scriptures were written down in the past to help us understand, and to encourage us so that we could wait patiently in hope.
