Text: Romans 5:8(KJV)
But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
Friends,
the love of God was made manifest as Jesus revealed the Father’s heart through
His life, compassion, sacrifice, and resurrection. Hence, God’s love is not
hidden, neither is it conditional. But, Jesus Christ clearly expressed this
love in a practical way as He was sent to save man. John 3:16 For God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So, every healing, every act of
forgiveness, and every word of grace pointed to a love that restores what was
lost. His love is not just a spoken word rather it is demonstrated in all areas
of our lives. This is seen as He unfolds His redemptive package through our
saviour Jesus. His love is not based on our perfection at all because he
demonstrated this love while we were yet sinners. His revealed love gives us
confidence that we are saved, accepted, and secure in Christ Jesus. 1 John 4:9-10 - In this was manifested the love of
God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that
we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he
loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Amazingly, the gift of His dear
Son reveals His mercy and compassion towards humanity. Therefore, there is a
call to respond as we yield in faith, gratitude, obedience, and love, today. We
are invited to live from that love, not striving to earn it but allowing it to
transform us daily. Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) The love
of God is not something you chase because it came by mercy as already revealed but
ours is to embrace it, live in it, and share it everywhere. Like the woman
caught in adultery, His love was revealed that brought about mercy and total
restoration. I encourage us to yield our hearts by His revealed love this
season as to experience total freedom from quilt and shame in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father
help me to fully receive your love and live in its truth through Jesus Christ
as He shapes my life this season in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember to allow His
love guide your actions as it reflects through our daily lives.
