true love
You’ve probably heard the expression “Love is the greatest force on earth”? This is a true statement. Real love can overcome every obstacle. At times evil may appear to prevail and win a battle, but it will never win the war. This love we're talking about is not man’s fickle love, but God's unwavering love. In the Bible God tells us how much He loves us.
1 John 4:9 | NLT
“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
God didn't just give lip service, but has proven to you His love. Even to the casual observer there can be no doubt about God's love. God is the very definition of love. Everything He says and everything He does is because of His love. The love mankind exhibit’s is conditional. It’s rooted in “what you can do for me”. Probably the closest example of unconditional love we can find outside of God is that of a parent. The love of a parent following God's design is something truly remarkable to see.
When you witness the patience, personal sacrifice and unwavering selflessness of a parents love for their children you can’t help but be moved. There is no greater motivator than love! What wouldn’t you do for the ones you love? If someone you love is in danger, what would you be willing to do to save them? What lengths would you go to ensure their safety. What wouldn't you be willing to sacrifice for them?
The Bible says that because of God’s great love, He did something extraordinary! In what is rightly one of the Bible's most popular scriptures it tells us how God SO loves us!
John 3:16 | NKJV
“For God SO loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
