Today everyone in the world is speaking of LOVE! The problem with the world's idea of love, though, is that it is basically very selfish! We have a natural tendency to love those who love us or act lovely to us. God's love, which is SO much higher than man's love, chose to love us when we were VERY unlovely! Romans 5:8 tell us this:
8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
JESUS died for ALL! Every single man, woman and child has the opportunity to accept and receive JESUS as LORD and personal SAVIOUR! John 3:14-17:
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross], 15 In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever! 16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
The only thing that JESUS demands after we receive Him as Lord and Saviour, is that we love HIM with everything within us, and then that we love each other with the very same love with which HE loves us (Mark 12:30)! You CAN do this! Count on Holy Spirit within you to help you cast down those thoughts and imaginations from the enemy that tell you that it is hard to do (2 Corinthians 10:5)! Remember, it is NOT by might or by power, but by the Word of God and Holy Spirit! AMEN (Zechariah 4:6)! So spread the LOVE today, but make it God's love! The love that NEVER fails! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Love So Great":
Shalom in Him!
