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.
(John 3:16)
God's love for us is so personal! He calls each of us by name and we,
beloved of the Lord, hear His voice clearly. We will never be able to
fully comprehend this Agape love. Such love that God is willing to
sacrifice His only begotten Son, Jesus, on the cross on our behalf so
that we can be drafted into the His kingdom. Such love that He is
willing to bear the pain in His heart to see Jesus going through the
sufferings for us sinners that through His one sacrificial act, the
whole world shall be saved.
It is the love of God to drive Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden
for God doesn't want them to live an eternal life of condemnation. It is
the love of God that He called forth the rain to flood the whole earth
for the whole earth at that time was filled with creatures that are not
fully human except for Noah and his wife and his three sons and
daughters-in-law. This is to preserve the humankind. And God promises He
will never flood the earth again.
When the humankind was totally lost, God cut a covenant with Abraham so
that we will have whatever God has. However, God knows man will fail in
his part of the covenant and therefore caused Abraham to sleep and Jesus
and God the Father actually cut the covenant. That's one reason why
Jesus has to die on behalf of man for their sinful state and their sins.
Beloved, knowing how much God loves us will empower us to live a
victorious life. At Jordan river where Jesus was baptized, God the
Father assured Jesus that He is well loved even before Jesus has
performed a single miracle! With the assurance that He is the beloved of
His Father, Jesus was able to overcome the temptation of the devil in
the wilderness for forty days without water and bread!
Appropriate aggressively God's love personally and you will experience
His love for your like no others. It is a power that will cast out all
fears. It is this love that we can love one another. Believe that God
deeply loves you. For He even counts the number of hair on your head. He
cares for every small or big issue that we are concerned with. Cast all
our cares upon Jesus for He cares.
Believe we are the righteousness of God in Christ through His one and
only sacrificial act on the cross and reign in life! Hallelujah!
