GOD's OVERWHELMING LOVE
LOVE IS THE UNCONDITIONAL ACT OF SHOWING CARE AND SACRIFICES FOR THE GOOD OF ANOTHER PERSON.
PUTTING SOMEONES INTEREST BEFORE YOURS WITHOUT COMPLAINT BECAUSE YOU VALUE THE PERSON.
THIS IS THE WILLINGNESS TO DISREGARD EVERY OTHER THING EVEN AT YOUR OWN INCONVENIENCE TO ENSURE THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS ALWAYS HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE AND NOT FEELING DOWNCAST AND MISERABLE.
IT IS THE ACT OF BEING ABLE TO CARRY THE OTHER PERSON'S BURDEN WILLINGLY BECAUSE YOU FEEL THE OTHER PERSON MATTERS MOST AND HIS BURDEN IS ALSO YOUR BURDEN BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE LOVE...
" YOU BECOME SELFLESS".
THIS IS THE LOVE GOD SHOWED.
JOHN 3:16 " for God so loved the world that He gave his
only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not
perish but have eternal life".
NOW THIS BIBLE PASSAGE HAS 3 parts
a.) FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD.
b.) THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
c.) THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT
PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
GOD IS THE PERFECT DEFINITION OF LOVE, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.
HE DOESN'T LOOK AT OUR FAULTS, HE LOOKS AT OUR REPENTANT HEART (A BROKEN AND CONTRITE HEART, THE LORD DOES NOT DESPISE).
THE FEELINGS OF GUILT ARE ACTUALLY THE DEVIL'S MECHANISM TO DISTRACT US AND MAKE US FEEL THAT WHAT EVER SIN WE COMMIT IS TOO BIG FOR GOD TO
FORGIVE BUT IN PSALM 103VS12.
"as far as the east from the west, so far has He removed our
transgressions from us"
SO IT IS RIGHT TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. THIS BUILDS YOUR CONVICTION CONCERNING THE LOVE OF GOD .
SO IT IS THIS LOVE THAT MADE GOD TO TURN HIS BACK ON HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN WHEN HE HUNG ON THE CROSS IN OUR PLACE.
NOW NO MATTER THE GRAVITY OF YOUR SIN, REMEMBER THAT HE IS WAITING FOR YOU AND HE TRULY LOVES YOU.
THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON NOW WE ALL WOULD WANT TO IMAGINE OURSELVES GIVING UP OUR ONLY SON(OFFERING HIM AS A SACRIFICE)
FOR THE SIN OF ANOTHER.
THIS IS THE PEAK OF THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR US. HE LET HIS ONLY SON TO DIE IN THE HANDS OF THE CREATURES HE CREATED, NOT ONLY DYING, HE DIED LIKE A THIEF.
GOD STILL HELD ON, AND JESUS BEING THE VICTIM AND ALSO THE VICTOR ENDURED AND WAS OBEDIENT EVEN UNTO DEATH.
HE VOLUNTEERED TO GO. HE VOLUNTEERED TO OFFER HIMSELF FOR US, GOD WOULD HAVE SAID NO TO HIM BUT HE LET HIM COME AND DIE. TO CONQUER ALL AND GIVE US LIFE IN ABUNDANCE.
NOW THAT'S A SELFLESS LOVE.. IS YOUR LOVE SELFLESS?
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE
NOW THERE IS A FACTOR MISSING IN THE LIFE OF CHRISTIANS OF OUR TIME
THE WORD "BELIEVE". THIS WORD MEANS A LOT IN THE LIFE OF CHRISTIANS, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT WE DO, WE DO IN BELIEF AND IT IS THIS SAME BELIEF THAT REFLECTS ON THE FAITH WE HAVE IN GOD .
WHAT IS THE TERM “BELIEVE”?
THIS IS THE STRONG CONVICTION ON SOMETHING WHICH YOU KNOW, IT IS THE ACCEPTING OF SOMETHING WHICH YOU DINT NECESSARY GO WITH BUT WITH
CIRCUMSTANCES, INSTANCES AND PROPER EXPLANATION OF IT MAKES YOU ACCEPT.. NOW THAT IS TO BELIEVE.
THIS “BELIEVE” ALSO STRENGTHENS YOUR FAITH, BECAUSE IT
IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD WITHOUT FAITH.
LET US WORK WITH OUR BELIEVE SYSTEM AND BOOST OUR FAITH. FOR WE DO NOT SEE BUT BELIEVE THAT OUR GOD LIVETH(FAITH)
SO DEAR READERS WHEN WE LOOK INTO THE THINGS GOD DID FOR US, IS DOING, AND FOREVER WILL DO FOR US, WE
SHOULD NOT TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED RATHER WE SHOULD SHOW HIM THAT WE CARE ALSO AND WE ALSO LOVE HIM.
THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED LOVING HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART SOUL AND MIND, AND LOVING OUR NEIGHBOUR AS OURSELVES.
GOD BLESS
