I thought today I would talk about how much God loves us. He loved us even though we are sinners. God will not tolerate sin. God wants us to be Holy as He is Holy. God loved us so much that He gave His Son to die in our place. Because we are sinners we were doomed to die, for the wages of sin is death. No one is without sin in his or her life. So how do we know that God loves us?
[GOD LOVES US]
John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.)
Romans; 5:8
(But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.)
1John; 4:10
(In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.)
Galatians; 1:4
(who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,)
Luke; 19:10
(for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.")
God saw that there was no other way for us to have life and was willing to come down to earth and give His life in our place. When a sin is committed, there has to be a payment for that sin. When we accept Jesus as our Savior and confess Him as Lord of our life, He saves us. His blood that He shed on the cross for our sins wipes our slate clean. We are given a new life in Jesus and a new nature. We will want to do His will and be a light in a dark place. People will see the change in us and wonder what has happened to us. We can tell them that Jesus has given us new life and our name is now written in the Book of Life. We are a child of God. We belong to God's family and we are no longer slaves to sin, because we have been set free from bondage to sin. We belong to Jesus because He paid the price for us with His blood.
We have been given the gift of life from God. We didn't earn it because it was free to us. Ask Jesus to give you that free gift of life and become a member of the family of God. You will have a home in Heaven waiting for you when God takes you out of this world. Everyday you get closer to going to your eternal home, make it a home in Heaven with Jesus, rather than a home in the Lake of Fire with Satan. It's a choice that everyone of us has to make before we die. If you choose Jesus, you go to Heaven. If you don't make a choice for Jesus, then you have made a choice for The Lake of Fire.
Revelation; 20:15
(And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.)
God Bless You!
