I John 3:1a, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:”
The idea of God’s love is so far above my human reasoning that I truly cannot understand it.
Why God loves me is unanswerable, but, the fact that He does love me is simple to answer. I know that He loves me because the Bible tells me so!
There are many verses that clearly state that He loves us. For example: John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Romans 8:38,39.
We need to grasp the truth that this wonderful, all powerful God loves us. When we accepted Jesus as our Saviour, we were born into His family, (John 1:12). We are now His sons and daughters and He is our heavenly Father, (I John 3:1). He loves us as a Father and He is always there for us as we walk through this uncertain life. He desires to fellowship with us. He desires to lead us. He desires to be an active, vital part of our everyday living. (Isaiah 41:10) He also will discipline us when we go astray, (Hebrews 12:11).
It is true that I cannot understand this unconditional love, but I do accept it and I do thank God over and over again every day that He offers this love to me. The purpose of today’s blog is to bring into focus this amazing truth. God is no respecter of persons – He loves us all equally.
My prayer is that we would all embrace the truth that God loves us – it would change our lives forever!
