God Loves You!

If I was only able to share one truth with you today, it would be this: GOD LOVES YOU!  It is the one truth that can and will change your life forever when you embrace it in your heart.  God loves you so much that He gave His one and only Son for you...to live for you and to die for you.  Jesus rose from the grave to defeat sin and death so that you might live fully and eternally.  In Romans 5:6-8, Paul says, "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 mighty possibly dare to die.  8 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  Wow!  That passage should overwhelm you!  Christ died for you even while you were a sinner.  In your sin, an enemy of God living in rebellion, Christ still chose to die for you.  This is love; this is the way GOD LOVES YOU!  In fact, John tells us in 1 John: "God is love."  Paul goes on to say in Romans 8:38-39, "38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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."  No one nor nothing can love you the way GOD LOVES YOU!  His love is a sacrificial and costly love, demonstrated and made available to you through the life, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, His Son.  

I don't know what struggle or struggles you have been through in this life.  I don't know what struggle or struggles you are going through right now or will go through in the days ahead.  I do know that your enemy is Satan, and he is a liar.  He will lie to you and tell you that no one cares and that no one loves you.  He will lie to you and tell you that you are all alone.  Know the truth today: GOD LOVES YOU!  And know that no one and nothing can separate you from the love of God that is found in Christ Jesus.  Embrace this love today!  Embrace God today and live!
