Smile God Loves You!

GOD'S WONDERFUL LOVE 

How can we even begin to understand that truth – “God is love” (1 John 4:8)? For His love for us has no beginning. In fact, even before you were born, you were loved by God. His love for you has always been there (Jeremiah 31:3). His love for you is unconditional. That means there is nothing you can do that will change the love God has for you. How's that for feeling loved? God's ultimate plan is to enjoy an open relationship with you now, and in Heaven share with you His love and glory for all eternity (Ephesians 1:3-12).

MAN'S GRIEVOUS FALL 

Sadly, God's relationship with man was broken when Adam, the first created man, brought sin into the world through disobedience (Genesis 3; Romans 5:12). Consequently, that caused us all to be sinners by nature (Romans 5:18-19). We have ALL rebelled against our Creator who loves us (Romans 3:23; Isaiah 53:6), and those sins have caused us to be separated from Him (Isaiah 59:2).

GOD'S WONDERFUL GRACE 

Praise God there is hope in restoring that lost relationship, because – remember -  God's love is unconditional. God clearly proved His great love toward us, in that while we were still unlovable sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). God, knowing all things, already had a plan to redeem men whom He loved. But for a Holy God to forgive us, He had to give His only Son to die in our place. This is why the Lord Jesus Christ died, dear friend! Without love, God would have had no reason or motivation to send His Son to die on our behalf. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).  Can you take it in? The Son of God loved YOU and gave Himself for YOU (Galatians 2:20)! “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

GOD'S WONDERFUL PLACE

How can you receive this forgiveness of sin now, and be assured of eternal blessing in Heaven? “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).  Do not miss your opportunity to receive the 'gift of God' to you (Romans 6:23). Right now, won't you trust the Lord Jesus Christ in simple faith – as the One who died for your sins and is risen again? If you have received Him, I pray you will move forward in God's plan for your life, with a desire to know Him better, through the reading of His Word, the Bible  (Psalm 119:105).

Love, the love of God, to save a wretch like me Love that sent His Son to die on Calvary Love that knows no bounds whatever man may be Love, eternal love, displayed in Christ we see Bearing all my shame in cruel agony Pierced upon the cross, there taking all my sin Love, eternal love, I owe my all to Him Eternal love, love to me.

God bless,
