God took action to save us, even before we knew we needed saving.  God did not ask man to agree with Him, nor aid Him in making redemption possible. By definition, a Bi-lateral agreement is a contract between parties in which both parties are bound by the exchange of promises.

You see my friend, He did not say, man, if you do this, I will do this or that to redeem you. The Omnipotent God decided that all on His own, praise God!   He is the self-existent God that decided man was worth saving even before man thought he needed saving.

How dare we carry ourselves in such an arrogant way, to think that we will use God only when we need Him?

He made the first move to establish an eternal relationship with (us) creation.  He did it in eternity, then, He manifested what He did in eternity, in this time space world. Let me put it another way, when Jesus died on the cross at Calvary, was a manifestation of what God did before time!  Now, ask yourself this question, why would Jesus need to die before we came into existence in this world?  Because God, being Omniscient (knows all), He saw man’s departure from Him before He ever did it.  

He took again a preemptive position, to ensure we had a way back to Him.  Is this not a powerful picture of our God?  Our Father initiated a plan to redeem us before we knew we needed redemption.  

What an exhibition of real love! We marvel at the novels written of love by the authors of our time, yet, there is not a love story that can compare to the one the Lord has made known to us in the Holy Scriptures. His love was demonstrated without our consent.

My friend, you have been eating and drinking from the wrong stall. Jesus has come with revelation of who we truly are.

He led us away from the stall of Satan, back to the stall of the one true God. Choose to walk into your true heritage in Christ.

Consider the following:
“And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. Luke 13:11
 
A Spirit of infirmity for eighteen years!

How long have you suffered so needlessly?  As she could not help herself, neither can you do it alone.  She not only suffered physically, think about the emotional bombardment waged against her. Even though she was in the midst of people, she probably felt like an outcast. Have you ever been there? Surrounded by people, yet inwardly, because of your infirmity, you feel like an outcast.  Does not this very scene depict a person with no hope?  
Does it paint your picture? Good news my friend! A new day has dawn. There is a solution, and His name is Jesus!

Jesus was not limited to the confines of this world, even so we, when the situation calls for it, can rise above the confines, or laws that govern this world. Remember Jesus when He commanded the disciples to go to the other side? He went down into the bottom of the ship to sleep. You must conclude that this was not the action of the only true God, but a man. Beloved, the Bible is clear that God neither slumbers nor sleeps. However, when the disciples feared for their lives, they came to him saying, master, caress thou not that we perish?

The same man rose up from SLEEP, stood on the bow of the ship and said, peace be still. Guess what, that was not mere man that was God! He is all God and all man. We are after His kind! He rebuke them because in His words to go to the other side, was the ability to get there. They did not recognize the power that resided in them. You too my dear brother and sister are so clothed with the Father. How long will you accommodate losing? You are of His seed!
