Many of the songs and hymns that most of us have enjoyed since our younger years are filled with scripture and Biblical promises of God’s love for man. However, we still often question the degree and depth of God’s love for us. I have put together three simple points that help me to see God’s love for me.
1. God created man for a loving relationship.
Genesis 1:24-31
It’s says in verse 25 after the creation of the beast
… And God saw that it was good.
But in verse 31 after God created man
… And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
God finalized creation with the grand finale, His masterpiece, made in His image and likeness.
God made man.
Man was the only object in creation that was made for a direct loving relationship with God.
2. God sent His Son to save this loving relationship.
John 3:16
God loved man so much that He had to do something to save the relationship that man destroyed.
- He sent His son Jesus, to die as the ultimate sacrifice for all of the sins of every man.
John 15:13
- this scripture describes the greatest display of love in what Jesus did on the cross for you and me.
3. God wants you in a loving relationship.
Luke 19:10 – For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Jesus came to save all that had fallen from this loving relationship.
By giving Jesus as the sacrifice for sin, God made a way for all people to restore a loving relationship with Him.
Question: Through His actions God has proven His love for you! However, have you responded? If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and savior please come and talk with myself, Bro. Keith, or any of the others in here, we can show you with God’s Word how you can respond and accept God’s gift of love.
