“But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. – Romans 5:8
LIGHT FOR NOW: The love of God is
not a reward for good deeds.
The believer in Christ is enshrined, intertwined and secured
in the love of God. The measure of God’s love is the expense of Christ. Christ
is the measure of God’s love; a love beyond measure. The Grace of God is the
explanation of the love of God. The love of God is explained by the Grace of
God. It is God making us qualified for what He has already provided. In the
natural, man loves you based on what he can get from you or as a reward for
good deeds. Men’s love is conditional, temporary and emotional.
The day you stop giving them what they want, they stop loving you. The good
news is that God’s love is not a feeling. God does not have reason(s) for
loving us. His love for us is eternal. The love of God is not a reward for our
good deeds. We do not even need to be good to earn God’s love. God did not wait
for us to be good before He started loving us. He is not trying to love us, he
had already loved us. That is why Romans 5:8 says “But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”.
God loved us even before we loved Him. He did not wait for us
to love Him but He already loved us even while we were dead in trespasses and
of no use whatsoever to Him. The love of God for us is not a reaction. God does
not react. Nothing takes God unawares. God pro-acts. Everything you need in
this life has already been provided. The love of God is that God has brought us
into intimacy and in union with Himself. Salvation is all about God coming to
man. “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace, who
hath made us one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances; for to make in himself twain one new man, so making
peace” (Ephesians 2:13-16). Therefore, you have no reason not to enjoy
the peace of God. Christ has reconciled us back to God. He has made us one and
united with God.
INSTRUCTION: Appreciate the Love of God for you.
PRAYER: Lord, I appropriate all that the finished work of Christ on the cross has wrought for me, in Jesus Name!
QUOTE: The believer in Christ has no love problem.
