The Love of Christ

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for another day that He has made, that we can rejoice and be glad in.

Primary Text

“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?” Romans 8v35 (NLT)

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” Romans 8v35 (KJV)

“Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?” Romans 8v35 (AMP)

Jesus loves us very very very much. Revelations 1v5 (KJV) “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us form our sins in His own blood,”. However, when we are going through tough situations, it is easy to think perhaps the Lord doesn’t love us anymore… or He is not even with us. But that is not true. Beloved, don’t ever let the situation you are going through put a wedge between you and the Lord. Don’t let guilt and shame keep you back. Run to Him. Be open with Him. Accept and embrace the love of God; don’t turn it down. Don’t let people say Jesus doesn’t love you. Don’t let the devil tell you that either. Don’t let your past dictate and overshadow God’s love for you. Just because you are going through a tough time doesn’t mean God doesn’t love you. Remember Daniel in the lions’ den, Joseph sold into slavery, Esther and her people who were going to be killed, … Their going through these experiences didn’t mean God did not love them… When Lazarus died, and Jesus didn’t come till he was in the grave for 4 days, it didn’t negate the fact that Jesus loved Lazarus, and Mary and Martha… How do you respond to Jesus’ love today? Do you accept it, embrace it, or reject it? Do you love Him in return? How do you show it? How does God view it?
