god's love

What would it take for you to believe in such an incredible concept that the Creator of all things loved you? What proof would you need? How about Romans 5:8 (ESV): “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”? Other translations use “demonstrates” and “proves” in place of “shows.” Did you catch the best part of this verse? Jesus died for you – before you even knew you needed a Savior (One Who delivers you from evil, including sin). He loves you so profoundly that He would do anything to prove (demonstrate) His love for you.

Mercy. It’s Something to be Thankful For.

Today Can Be Different Posted on November 27, 2024 by SherylNovember 27, 2024

Consider how wretched our lives would be – how wretched our very self would be – if we couldn’t go to our heavenly Father when we feel like a failure and are at our weakest. Think how long our sleepless nights would be if God withheld His loving presence when we desperately needed to experience His nearness.

Think how it would transform our witness as Christ followers if we praised God for the extraordinary love He displayed at Calvary. As we continue to declare God’s praises, our confidence in His love and faithfulness will grow. Our witness will become stronger as we no longer believe the lie that we’re not worthy of God’s care and direction.
