"Joh 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"
What makes us believers is nothing but the love of God. He sent his son to earth to die for our sins, and Jesus came down to the world in flesh, God dwelling among men and he preached love all through his lifetime.
Love can never be removed from the gospel. In fact, the Bible says that "no greater love shall a friend show to his other friend than to die for that friend" John15:13. So love is best shown when a friend dies for us. A lot of people can't do that today, but he did that.
The Bible further explains that while we were yet sinners, he died for us Rom 5:8.
So even while we were in sin, while we were in deep fornication and adultery , you know what? he died for you and another interesting part is that he summarised all the commandments in the Bible to love. John 14:15,21,23.
Now that we know he loves us, the right thing to do is to love him back. I guess we understand how frustrating a one-sided love can be, right? He loves you no matter what you've done and he is asking you to please look towards his direction and surrender to him.
All you have to do is to believe in him, trust him and love him and he would be your Lord. For all have sinned (Rom 3:23) and we have now been justified by grace because he loved us, because he died for us Rom 3:24. Why not start a new love-walk with him today?
"Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
See you next week.
