Am I Loved?نموونە

The Greatest Demonstration

It is incredible when we start to understand the infinite, unfathomable, incomprehensible, unfailing, undeniable, unending love of God. God has offered a pardon. God does not want anyone to perish. God does not want anyone to go to Hell. His love is so intense for us that He demonstrated it. He is offering a gift called eternal life, bought with the blood of His Son. 

Could we even imagine if someone sacrificed their child for us? We would be so amazed, so touched, and forever grateful for that sacrifice. That is what God did for us, and He did it for us as unlovely people. 

All of us are unlovely. None of us deserve God’s love. None of us can stand and say, “God loves me because I’m pretty loveable. I’m great!” No, we’re not. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. It is truly amazing that He loves each one of us, no matter how unlovely.

God did not create us for Hell. The only people that will go to Hell are those who reject God’s gift of love. God is also a just god; and therefore, our sin debt must be paid. God allowed His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place. Jesus was perfect, He never sinned. The blood of Jesus washed away our sin debt and paid the penalty. Jesus died for us and rose again so that we can live eternally with Him. God offers this to us. All we have to do is receive this gift of love. God expresses this love to the unlovely and the unlovable – that is me and you. 

Are you asking yourself, “Am I loved? Does God love unlovely me?” That answer is found by simply looking at the cross of Calvary and what Jesus Christ did for you.
