Importance of His Love

[Joshua said,] "For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God."  - Joshua 4:23-24

God demonstrates his love to us because he is loving. God demonstrates his love to us because he knows we would be lost without it. God demonstrates his love to us because he wants to show his power to the peoples of the world. God demonstrates his love for us because he wants us to know his awesome might to save. God demonstrates his love for us so we will deeply respect, honor, and revere him.

Follow the Good Shepherd

Ezekiel 34:11-12
Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.” Ezekiel 34:11-12

A New Creature

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,  the new creation  has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

No Greater Love

John 15:12-14
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.    Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.    You are my friends  if you do what I command.

Enough with All the Lies

Romans 10:9
If you declare  with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”  and believe  in your heart that God raised him from the dead,  you will be saved.

No Condemnation

Romans 8:1-2
Therefore, there is now no condemnation  for those who are in Christ Jesus,    because through Christ Jesus  the law of the Spirit who gives life  has set you free  from the law of sin  and death.
