In case you doubt His love

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“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.” John 3v16 (AMP).

If you doubt God’s love for you, look to the Cross – that’s how much God loves us, so much so that He sent Jesus to die for you and for me. The Bible then tells us that “Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else?” (Romans 8v32). When we look at life in general, some might say “Where is the promise of His coming?...” (2 Peter 3v4), but the truth is that “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3v9). God doesn’t want any one to perish. He wants that people to come to the knowledge of Christ, and the salvation that He has made available through Him. God loves you incredibly. Never ever doubt that. One way the devil tries to use to keep people from God’s love is condemnation. But as evidenced in the parable of the prodigal son, if you have strayed, come back to the Father, repent, and turn from your wicked ways. God wants you, He loves you, He adores you, He is waiting for you.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your Word. Father, I pray to know for myself, the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge, without experience. I want to be a body wholly filled with God Himself, I want to have the richest measure of your divine Presence in Jesus name, amen.
