For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. — John 3:17
God is not about condemnation. I know that Satan got the rumor started a long time ago, but don't believe it. God is not some fiendish teacher looking to flunk and embarrass students. God is not some cantankerous judge looking to shame, humiliate, and punish all who appear in court. God is not some gossip spreading rumours about our shortcomings across the neighbourhoods of heaven. The one true and living God wants to bless us with his salvation. He wants to dispense mercy and grace. He wants us to be his children. Yet he is also holy, righteous, awesome, and just.
So when God's gracious desire for us collides with God's call for righteous character, there is only one solution: Jesus! Jesus came to fulfil God's righteous demands with his gracious provision of mercy. God sent Jesus to save sinners. Jesus came to save people from all nations and races and cultures from sin and the penalty of sin. Jesus came to save us!
Measure your life by Love
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Deuteronomy 5:29
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Mark 12:29-31
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Passionate about Jesus
Romans 8:39
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
