Did You Know God Already Loves You?
Did You Know God Already Loves You?
“God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 NIV
While we live in world of conditional responses we must remember that God’s love for us is totally unconditional. Nothing we can do good or bad will make God love us more or less. God loves us to the max all the time. And Romans 5:8 says so: “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
The truth is that God doesn’t just love – He is love! And in 1 Corinthians 13:8 we’re told that His love for us “never fails.” In fact, Romans 8:38-39 tells us that absolutely nothing can separate us from His love.
There is no limit to God’s love for us either. The fact that God sent His one and only Son to save us by suffering and dying on the cross for our sins demonstrates this. God’s is a no-limit kind of love for us!
God’s love for us is also eternal. Psalm 136 tells us 26 times that “His love endures forever.” And John 3:16 says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
God’s love for us is all these things. And you can enjoy it right now, if you accept it. He will not force it on you. Remember, it is unconditional. He loves you right now, just the way you are. The question is, will you accept His love so you can begin to love Him in return? To do this, just confess your sins to Him in prayer and accept His love-gift of forgiveness. We can help you!
The first mark of your love will be a desire to know more about God. You can do this by getting a Bible and reading John’s Gospel. You’ll be surprised at how much He loves you, and you’ll start to love Him more.
