6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:6-8 NIV
Let me tell you something. If you just believe one thing I say then believe this. God loves you. The Holy Spirit loves you. Jesus loves you. I mean They really love you. The kind of love that kept Jesus silent in front of His accusers, and made Him stay on the cross through unbelievable suffering. The kind of love that meant God gave His only Son for you. The kind of love that makes the Holy Spirit dwell in you as a Christian and never leaves you or forsakes you.
Our God loves us so much that He chooses us before we ever did anything right Before we ever did anything good. He knows how often we will hurt Him in the future, and He still chooses us. He conceived you in His mind, timed you perfectly, placed you on the globe perfectly, formed you in your mother’s womb, and breathed life into you. He picked your height, hair color, and eye color and gifted you with skills and interests. If you are in a relationship with Him, He gave you spiritual gifts and has started healing up every area of your life.
He loves you so much that He made you for a relationship with Him. Every human being’s primary purpose for existence is to be in a relationship with Him, and not just as a slave or servant but as a friend. I encourage you to go after the friendship of Jesus. He will always say yes.
He loves you so much that He left the incomprehensible splendor and comfort of Heaven to come to be with us on Earth. He’s Emmanuel, God with us. He came to rescue us, and how did He come? To a poor, young mother who was probably seen as a sinner for being pregnant at all, and a stepfather in a barn. They had to move multiple times just to keep this God Child from being murdered like the other boy babies in Bethlehem. He was born into anguish and little, and this was done willingly!
He loves you so much that He lived a perfect life so that His blood would be enough to cover everything you have ever done and everything that has ever been done to you. He left so much wisdom and instruction in the gospels for you. He said that since we saw Him, we have seen the Father. Did you see what Jesus did when they brought the adulteress to Him to see if He would stone her for her sin? He saved her, then when He was alone with her, He assured her that He didn’t condemn her and with His mercy and His words of direction empowered her to leave her sin behind. That’s what He says to you too when you sin.
He loves you so much that He went to His death even though He knew how awful it would be. He bled and gasped for air so that we could die to sin. Then He raised Himself from the dead so we could live with Him. He got all the authority back from Satan so that He could empower us to rule in the spiritual world.
Get alone with Jesus and ask Him what He thinks of you. Bring a pen and paper because you won’t believe what amazing things He has to say about you. Keep His words close to your heart and let Him convince you that He loves you.
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. – Jeremiah 31:3b
