Everlasting Grace and Mercy
““For a small moment I have forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you. In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer. “For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says Yahweh who has mercy on you.” Isaiah 54:7-10 WEB)
Mercy is when you are spared from the punishment that you deserve, and Grace is when you receive goodness and favor that you do not deserve.
In the passage above, the Lord speaks to Israel, of which we born-again believers are now considered citizens of.
At the cross, God’s wrath towards sin has been fully poured out on Jesus. For believers, God has no more wrath because Jesus has paid their sin debt and satisfied God’s holiness.
We can now enjoy His “great mercies” and “everlasting loving kindness”.
“Loving kindness” (in Hebrew, pronounced as “hesed”) is the Old Testament word for “grace” that is revealed in the New Testament.
God wants us to be so settled in our hearts about this, such that He swore to never be angry with us nor punish us. God cannot break His vow.
He swore that His grace will never depart from us, and the covenant of peace (the New Covenant of Grace) will never be removed from us.
“Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:1-2 WEB)
You will never lose your salvation, and you will never fall out of God’s favor. His love towards you never changes. You have peace with God.
Believe this, and you will keep receiving His grace without the supply of grace being blocked by your own unbelief.
“But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 WEB)
To keep being transformed into Jesus’ image, meditate on beautiful passages like the one in Isaiah 54–see His love, grace, and mercy. Such portions of Scripture acts as a mirror to show you who you (the born-again spirit) have become in Christ. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance.
As you behold the Lord in His abundant grace, you will be transformed in body and soul from glory to glory!

“Thank you Milton. I love this book. It has helped me to keep my eyes on Jesus. As He is, so am I in this world. I am getting younger and younger too. I have known the delivery man for many years but recently he has started to call me beautiful when he sees me. I smile and praise the Lord. This book has helped me to receive the blessing of renewing my youth to be younger and younger. All glory to Jesus. He is beautiful, lovely and young. So am I in Him.” - Cynthia Lim
“Hi Milton, your book is beautifully written with deep spiritual insight. It opened my spiritual eyes to the fact that I don’t have to settle for the natural aging process of my body which I kind of took for granted. Through Jesus’ finished work I can enjoy youth renewal. Your daily devotional and scriptures illustrates that very clearly. For which I sincerely thank you! Your book is a “must” for all Seniors who like me focus more on the natural aging than on the spiritual truth! All glory to Jesus!” - Ilva S.
“Hi Milton, I am very very pleased with Younger and Younger. I especially like the Declarations that you speak!! I listen to them several times a day!!! I love that I can just play them whenever I like. Even if I’m not totally paying attention to them, I know that they are still getting into my spirit and mind. Thank you so very much! God Bless!” - Sheree Kleinhuizen

noah in hebrew 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳貼文
What and Where is Paradise?
“I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven. I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows), how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4 WEB)
The original Greek word for “caught up” in the passage above is “harpazo”, same as the word describing how we will be caught up into the air to meet with Jesus when He returns for His church.
The third heaven is the realm of God, which exists above the sky and above the sea of the “waters above”.
Paradise is a specific location in the third heaven.
If you examine the Greek word for Paradise, you will find that it is Paradeison, and it means “a pleasure garden”.
Jesus used the same word when He spoke to the penitent robber who was crucified next to Him:
“Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”” (Luke 23:43 WEB)
Now what’s interesting is to read how Jesus would have spoken it in Hebrew:
“And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Omein, I say to you, hayom (today) with me you will be in Gan Eden.” (Lukas 23:43 OJB)
Does that sound familiar? In the Book of Genesis, we find that God planted a garden in Eden:
“Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.” (Genesis 2:15 WEB)
And in the original Hebrew:
“And Hashem Elohim took the adam and put him in the Gan Eden la'avod (to till, to work) it and to be shomer over it.” (Bereshis 2:15 OJB)
Did you know that Eden means “pleasure”? So the Greek and Hebrew both agree. It is a pleasure garden.
Jesus couldn’t be any clearer. He said to the robber that “today”, he would be with Him in the Garden of Eden.
The Garden of Eden is no longer on earth. It was translocated into the third heaven.
When? It must have happened before God sent the flood in the days of Noah.
Why? One of the reasons is to preserve the tree of life that was in the Garden of Eden, so that it wouldn’t be wiped out in the flood.
The tree of life is now in the Garden of Eden in the third heaven. Notice how Jesus in the verse below says “which is in” (present tense):
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.” (Revelation 2:7 WEB)
In eternity, we will live in the city of New Jerusalem, and because God preserved the original tree of life, the seeds from it will grow into new trees of life.
“in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Revelation 22:2 WEB)
A place greater than the Garden of Eden will be our final home, and we will live with God forever!
Did you know that the Bible gives us some of the layout of Heaven and important geographical aspects of it?
Knowing your eternal destination will give you a peace and confidence in your soul, enabling you to live life without the hovering cloud of uncertainty about what lies ahead.
