1 John 3:16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought o lay down our lives for the brethren. Matthew 20:28 The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." PERSPECTIVE; Christ's love didn't propel Him to the cross when you were worthy, but when you were a sinnner. Keep this perspective in mind as you love others today who may not derseve it. We are totally incapable of loving people the way Jesus loved us. As we've seen, Jesus' love is unlimited: NOTHING "shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8:39 Christ's love for our is unconditional. Jesus doesn't love us if we meet certain criteria or act certain ways. In fact, God demonstrates His own love toward us , in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 Jesus' love is also unselfish, so much that He willingly walked to the cross for your salvation. And Christ's love is also unchangeable: " Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews 13:8 as the Spriit works to make us more like Him, we will be more able to love others wit a love, that is unlimited, unconditional, unselfish, and unchangeable, for that is how Jesus loves us. Lord, guide me today to DO ALL things that will bring GLORY and HONOR TO YOU AMEN For it is WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. will you "pay it forward" today, with a smile, hug, pay for someone's meal, electric bill in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS? Give from the heart your best and God will do the rest |
