HIS LOVE

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

I don’t think we fully understand how much God loves us.  He not only loves us unconditionally, He loves us so much He gave His Son to die on the cross for our sins.  What an amazing unconditional love flowed from the heart of our Father when He gave Jesus to die for us.

Not only does God love us unconditionally, Jesus also loves us with an amazing unconditional love.  Jesus did not have to leave His home, His Father and all that He had to come to earth and die for our sins.  God did not make Jesus come to earth.  Jesus chose to come because He loves His Father and He loves us.

How can we not serve the One Who gave His all for us?  Jesus is calling all of us to serve Him.  He may not call us to go to another country but He is calling all of us to go to our neighbors and tell them of the love of Jesus.  However, it is not enough to tell people Jesus loves them; we must prove it to them.

How do we prove to them that Jesus loves them?  We prove to them that He loves them by our kind words and our loving actions.  When is the last time you told someone Jesus loves him or her?  When is the last time you told Jesus you love Him and appreciate Him?  Tell Jesus you love Him today.
