How Loved Am I ? (Part 1)

The best news anyone will ever hear is that "you are loved by God".

We don’t have to do anything to make God love us more and His love for us will not lessen even when we go astray. God’s love for us is not based on what we do, it’s based on who He is and His deliberate choice to love us, even during those times when we go wrong.

God wants us to "be still and know that He is God". This includes us unconditionally believing and knowing that God loves us!

God’s desire to love us is like the love parents have for their newborn child – they love the child even though it has done nothing to merit their love and is powerless to make its parents love it any more or any less – the child has simply become loved. This is exactly the same as God’s love for us – He can’t help but love us because it is the essence of His very nature.

Love isn’t something God does, it’s simply who He is: "God is Love".

Bible Reading: Romans 8:35-39 (The Message)
Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
“They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.”

None of this fazes us because Jesus love us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing – nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable – absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

Remember:

GOD LOVES YOU!!!
