Focus on His Love Now and Always - 
Michael Edwards

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13 ESV

Love is the greatest and when all else disappears, when the perfect has come and we can see fully, faith and hope will no longer be needed, but the greatest of all, love, will remain.

1 Corinthians 13 lists several gifts of the Spirit that God gives out to believers. But it emphasizes that all the knowledge we possess now, all the wisdom, all the faith and hope will no longer be needed when we see the full truth with our own eyes. Love is the only thing that will remain.

Love is what Jesus showed us in living color. He lived a life of love and in doing so fulfilled the spirit of all of God’s laws. The spirit of the law is why the letter was written and it is the only thing that truly fulfills the author’s purpose. The spirit of all of God’s laws is love.

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Rom 13:8-10 ESV

Focus on His love for us, make it personal like the Apostle John did. Five times John called himself the disciple whom Jesus loved. John was keenly aware of how much he was loved by God. Not because of what he did, but because of who God is. The same is true for us.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4: 18-19 ESV

The more we focus on His steadfast love for us this Christmas season and always, the more easily we can love others as He loves us.
 
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12 ESV

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend, family member or inmate (free e-book or $3.66 print copy). Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campuses and online in several languages. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Maybe you know someone in prison or just a lost soul that you love who needs to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior or needs to have their faith encouraged? You can ship single paperback copies directly from Amazon for $3.66 each to an inmate or anyone. For inmates, you just need their facility name, address, inmates name and id number. Most prisons and jails will accept packages directly from places like Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon prime it would ship for free. Just add the person's shipping address when you check out and it goes directly to them. If you try to send it from a personal address, it will be rejected. 

GO HERE to order your copy of Gravity to be sent to your lost friend or family member who is (incarcerated or not) and needs Jesus. Offer them the gift of eternal life in Christ for $3.66. What a great investment.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
