The love of God

Labels:

God's love was clearly proven by Jesus Christ's sacrifice, which allowed us to be forgiven and become God's children. His love has the power to move mountains, calm raging seas, mend broken bones and wounded hearts, transform lives, and set free those who have been enslaved by sin and shame.

Knowing God's love for us is vital for living a healthy Christian life.

God's love is central to our identity as his children and to Jesus' sacrifice. It may appear obvious that God loves you, but I'd urge you to reopen your heart to this reality, so that God can reveal his love to you in a real and new way today. His love for you and me is so exceptional that he sacrificed his only son so that we could live through him.

And in John 17:25–26, Jesus makes an comprehensible statement about the depth of God's love for us. On the night before he was scourged and crucified, Jesus reflected on the ultimate in human love. "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for one's friends," John 15:13 says.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
