1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
1 John 4:9 - In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 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.
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.
On a hill outside of Jerusalem, God penned His love letter to mankind. He wrote it in His blood, that He shed for you and me, there never was or ever will be so great a Love Letter written as the Love of God for mankind,.
Jesus Christ is that Love letter, He created everything, left everything behind, gave everything, on Calvary, just so you and I could be with Him for eternity. He did not need to, He wanted to. Not for personal gain, for our gain, there is no greater love, than the Creator of the Universe, giving His all for you and. I.
None of us are good, we can not keep God’s commandments, they are written for mankind to live by. But yet we live in a culture that lives by their own will, we lie, steal, lust, murder, covet, and blaspheme God, without thought.
God knew we would, and before He spoke the Heavens and Earth into existence, He had a plan. He knew man would not and could not come to Him, so He came to us. His word says this.
Romans 3:10 - As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 5:12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:8 - God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:9-10 - 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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 10:13 - For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Do you see, ALL of us are sinners, and none of us can make without the Love of God in our lives, that Love, Jesus Christ comes into our lives, when we ask Him to, He calls us to a point in our lives, where we must confess our sins to Him, repent of them, ask Him to come be in you, and in all you are and He is faithful and Just, He will forgive those sins, enter into our lives, and we will become one with Him.
He does not want or need you to be perfect before you come, He died for us while we where yet sinners, He paid the penalty for our sins,. He took upon Himself the sins of mankind, so we would escape the Judgment of God for our iniquities.
Jesus Christ, lived a sinless life, He died a cruel death and received our punishment, He rose again on the third day He conquered sin, and death so we will not receive the judgment of God.
He took it upon Himself to reach out to you and I. He sits now at the right hand of God, interceding everyday for those who are His, He waits for you to answer His call and come to Him. With Arms wide open, and His nailed scarred hands reaching out He says I love you.
Are you His child now, then share His love with those around you, how can we say we love when we keep the Love of Jesus Christ hidden from a dark and dying world?
And if your not a child of God yet, why not?
We must submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and have believe on Him to be our Lord and Savior. There is no other Name given among men by which we can be saved. One day every Knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to those who do so now, they will spend and eternity with Him in all of Heavens glory, but to those who wait and bow their knees then they will spend an eternity away from Him, in the outer darkness , where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Do not reject His love today and condemn yourself, receive His Love and free yourself from sin and death.
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17
In Christ
