Romans\u202c \u202d5\u202c:\u202d8\u202c<\/strong>\u202d<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong> \u201cBut God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God loves you so much, He sent his son to die on the cross so that we might have eternal life. \u201cHerein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.\u201d \u202d\u202d1 John\u202c \u202d4\u202c:\u202d10\u202c \u202dGod\u2019s Love in Unconditional and Perfect, because He is Perfect. \u202d\u201cThere is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.\u201d \u202d\u202d1 John\u202c \u202d4\u202c:\u202d18\u202c\u00a0 No matter the choices I make, God still loves me. I don\u2019t have to live in fear that I can make God stop loving me, I am not that powerful. He is my Heavenly Father, and just like my parents no matter the choices I make whether Good or Bad, they will never stop loving me. Now, the decisions I make may bring disappointment or loss of fellowship, but never Lack of Love.\u00a0I think the Better question as Christians is, Do we Love God? God tells us how we know if we love God.\u00a0 \u201cIf ye love me, keep my commandments.\u201d \u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d14\u202c:\u202d15\u202c\u00a0 \u201cFor this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.\u201d \u202d\u202d1 John\u202c \u202d5\u202c:\u202d3\u202c\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I show that I love God when I obey Him and do what He says in His Word. The things I do and don\u2019t do. The places I go and don\u2019t go. The words I say and don\u2019t say. The things I wear and don\u2019t  wear. Whether I read my Bible or I pray. All those things don\u2019t bring me salvation. They show my love\ud83d\udc97. God even tells us His commandments are not grievous.  They are not to cause us pain or suffering. He knows what sin costs. He knows what pain it causes. We doubt God\u2019s Love, but His love never changes; He is Love. \u201cHe that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.\u201d \u202d\u202d1 John\u202c \u202d4\u202c:\u202d8\u202c <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child of God, wouldn\u2019t you want to be in close fellowship with Him who saved you from Hell? As a Christian, don\u2019t you want to show the Lord you Love Him? As much as I want to please my parents and show them that I love them, what about my Heavenly Father?\u00a0\u201cBut God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,\u201d \u202d\u202dEphesians\u202c \u202d2\u202c:\u202d4\u202c \u202d

God\u2019s Love Meter is always overflowing. How\u2019s your meter today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
