TRUE LOVE

TRUE LOVE

There are many confessions of love

Some are made with conditions, some are made with exceptions while others are made through sacrifice.

True love is one of sacrifice and without gain. It is expressed before anything is given or any action performed.  

God showed true love by offering His son as a sacrifice while we were still sinners. He didn't require us to act or to give him anything before he did that. It was out of His genuine love for us that he put His love on the line even before we would be of any use to Him.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

One may understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and perhaps someone just might after much consideration die for a good man or cause. However, no one would risk their lives or die for someone who is not worth saving.

TODAY'S FOCUS: WORTHY OF SAVING

In the above scripture and comments it is obvious that humans would not be considered worthy of someone dying for them. They were ungodly, weak and rebellious.

You didn't deserve it, but He thought and knew you was worth saving-

Though you were not ready to be saved, He made the sacrifice through His love for you.

YOU ARE WORTHY- The provision for saving you was made through love.  If you are loaded with guilt, burdened by shame and compassed by sins,  you qualify and meet the criteria of His sacrificial love.

There is not greater love than a love of a friend who would give his life for you

John 15:13 (KJV)

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus is a friend who has true love for you. A friend who knew and knows all about you and decided to die for you anyway. That sacrifice does not require a gift besides your acceptance and renewal. It was given as a remedy for your present condition.

Remember, God's love for sinners caused Him to make the sacrifice of offering up His son. He thought you was worth saving and did that before you came to knowledge of Him. His love is the base of the sacrifice. Now that He has saved you, let Him live through you to save others!

God Bless you and Keep the Faith!
