Does God love you? How sad that
some would question. Yet in our day, people are so ungrateful to God.
God demonstrates His love to us every
day in a thousand ways. Health, wealth, friends, the balance of nature, the
soundness of our minds, the conviction of His Spirit, the availability of His
word, His promises, His working on us and through us. Any goodness we receive
in life is undeserved and is because He loves us. It is like death row inmates,
whatever kind things they do, have no bearing on my life, I simply know they
are worthy of death. That is like the state of human kind, yet God is good to
us.
Love can be measured. I tease my
wife that I love her more than she loves me. “Not possible” she says. “No I am
bigger. I weigh a lot more. So there is more of me to give you love and more of
me you have to love, therefore I love you more.” Ha. But the point is, some do
love more than others, not because the size of their physic but by how much
they give.
God gave His own Son. Jesus came
into history, hung on a cross to take the penalty of our sins. That proves that
God loves the most. To reject this substitutionary sacrifice is to say; “God
doesn’t love and has not done anything for me.” How insulting?
