His Everlasting Love.

His Everlasting Love.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

You determine the value of a thing by how much it cost to get it or what was paid for it. Therefore, it is only in Christianity you will be able to understand your true value.

The Buddhist does not know his value so he tries to do good to earn points, so that in his next life he will not be a goat. The Muslim tries to earn good points with God by trying to do good; he believes that, on the last day, God will weigh the good and the bad things he has done, and if the good outweighs the bad, he will go to heaven, and if the bad outweighs the good, he will go to hell. So to earn higher points with God, he chooses to pay for his sins by being a martyr or becoming a suicide bomber.

In Christianity, we do not need to die for our sins because Jesus already died for our sins. It is only Christianity that lets you know that God loves you unconditionally. In spite of all your flaws and your secret faults, He still wants you. One thing you must know is this: God knew you before you were born. He knew your parents, He knew your school, He knew all the mistakes you were going to make, He knew everything, and yet this same God sent His Son to die for you before you were even born. Jesus had already died for your sins before you sinned; that is to show you how much He wanted you. He wanted a relationship with you.

Get to know how much God loves you. He said, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, with loving kindness have I drawn you and continued my faithfulness to you” (Jeremiah 31:3 AMP).

He also says to you in Isaiah 44:22 (MSG), “I've wiped the slate of all your wrongdoings. There's nothing left of your sins. Come back to me, come back. I've redeemed you.” He said He has redeemed you. A price has been paid for you. It is not going to be paid, it has already been paid. All you need to do is respond to the cross, respond to the blood and all your sins will be forgiven and you will become the righteousness of God in Him.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank you for your unconditional acceptance towards me. I thank you for loving me with an everlasting love and kindness towards me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Doing the Word
Don't try to pay for your sins. Respond in faith to the love of God and what Jesus has done for you.
