God's infinite love and righteousness

Infinite love of Jesus – Secrets of Bible I :

Sermon by Pastor Regis and its short compilation(August 15th):


I have never ever seen a love as pure and unfathomable as Jesus Christ’s!!

I have attended many sermons and prayers and I never knew why Jesus died on the cross? The day he(Pastor) revealed the truth, I felt how horrible and pathetic it is, to sin against the Holy One of Israel! Pastor Regis said that he asked the question to himself and prayed with tears at the feet of Jesus and he got the answer finally.


Here goes the TRUTH :


The first creation of God(Adam and eve) sinned against him by eating from the ‘Tree of fruit and knowledge’ in Eden. We are also told that Eve was tempted by a serpent to eat from the ‘Forbidden Tree’.


What is that serpent? Where did it come from ?


Well it’s a Biblical secret available only for people in union with God. However Ezekiel chapter 28 speaks of the prophecy against King Tyre(?). Notice carefully and you can see the words ‘Eden’, ‘Angel’ and so on. Read it for yourself.

Now Adam and Eve have sinned and it’s time to come under God’s curse. God had previously said that they will die for sure if they eat from the “Tree of fruit and knowledge”. Did they die as soon as they ate them?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before explaining this , let me put forward an analogy for a better understanding:

A day will come when all the old people will have to pass away. Their bodies will lay speechless and motionless! It’s a kind of permanent separation and we don’t expect them to speak again. This is a permanent separation and we call it ‘Death’ in other words.

What if a relative of ours leave to foreign for his career/education?

It’s a kind of temporary separation and it is not called as death.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now coming back, God said that Adam and Eve will die if they eat from the “Tree of fruit and knowledge”. They were finally cast away from Eden so that they may NEVER come back. What do we call this separation?

The obvious answer is ‘Permanent seperation’ and we have equated it to death already and thus God’s word is fulfilled. Did God stop with this ? NO.

Genesis 3:24



I have put up verses from a Tamil Bible for better comprehension and wordings.

‘Jeeva virutcham’ is Forbidden tree, ‘F‘Pattayam’ is a sword , ‘sudarolli pattayam’ is burning sword, ‘kerubeankal’ is Angels.

So whoever dies will go into a bottomless pit and never ever enter into Eden again!! If at all they try, they will be struck by the burning sword. What happened then? God so loved the world that he did not want this to happen anymore and wanted to redeem them(us) from the pit. It is for this reason, Jesus Christ was sent to redeem the sinners.

Read Mat 26:31



Did you notice something odd here? It is said that Maipanai vettuvaen? Was Jesus cut or crucified? He was crucified on the cross for all our sins and bought Salvation for all of us!! Why is it ‘vettuvaen’ ?Read Zec 13:7



This was written in the Old testament times and you can see the TRUTH for yourself.Jesus was the Lamb of God(Maipan) who was struck by the burning sword at the Eden to make way for all of us(for all our sins).He bought us salvation this way for : Sins which we have done, we do and which we will do in the future.I cannot describe in words how righteous and loving our Sovereign Lord is! His infinite selfless love !

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

Meditate on these verses for a while to understand God’s love.The God who made the Burning sword himself, righteously sent his only Son to suffer and die for us on it.
