Dear Friends and Partners,
Thank you so much for your faithful, continued support of our mission! Thanks to you, we not only successfully continue all our projects but also launch new ministries, orphanages, and churches. We always pray for you and, together with you, believe that with God, nothing is impossible.
Have you ever noticed the difference between the Old Testament and the New? Wouldn’t you agree that the Old Testament portrays God as stern, strict, and even vengeful, while the New Testament reveals a God who forgives rather than judges? The Old Testament often describes God as a Judge or a Warrior, punishing sin and disobedience. In contrast, the New Testament proclaims that God saves us, sinners, not based on our deeds but through His kindness and grace.
Indeed, we see a stark contrast between the image of God in the Old Testament and the way Jesus teaches about Him in the New Testament. So, let’s delve into this topic.
We should not forget that we now live in a new era, ushered in by Christ’s coming. Therefore, we must remember that God has nullified the Old Covenant, although many overlook this and fail to realize the profound significance of this fact. Additionally, we must understand that God has established a New Covenant with humanity, based on love and forgiveness. When Jesus healed, saved, and restored lives, He revealed the true nature of God. It is in the New Testament that Christ revealed to us what is in the heart of God.
Every Christian is familiar with the incredible words Jesus spoke about His Father in 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.” Do you remember to whom Jesus said these words? They were addressed to Nicodemus.
Do you understand who this man was? Nicodemus strictly adhered to the Law of Moses and was well-versed in the teachings of the Old Testament: “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” (Matthew 5: 38, 43). If we lived according to the Old Testament laws, there would likely be many blind and toothless people among us, filled with hatred for their enemies and adversaries.
For Nicodemus, Christ’s words must have been a revelation because this was a revolutionary idea for Jesus’ contemporaries, who lived by the laws of the Old Testament. Jesus explained to Nicodemus that God loves sinful humanity so much that He grants eternal life to anyone who believes in His Son.
However, the next verse is just as important as John 3: 16. Jesus’ beloved disciple describes the purpose of Christ’s coming in John 3: 17: “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” Jesus came to earth to show us the true heart of God, who cares for us like a loving father. We are God’s children. He doesn’t harshly punish us for every mistake; instead, He patiently and lovingly corrects us so that we can change.
We pray that this year, you will grow even more in His love revealed to us in Jesus Christ. May every mountain in your life be moved, every sickness healed, and the impossible become possible. We love you, pray for you, and encourage you with Jesus’ words: “With God, all things are possible!”
