In This Is Love…

 

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.—1 John 4:9-11

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8 NASB).

Nothing less than God’s love in Christ is the model for the love Christians should have toward one another.

Beloved…

“If God so loved us—and keeps on loving us—then we have no other recourse but to forgive people who have knowingly or unknowingly offended us. If you’re having a hard time forgiving someone, ask the Lord to give you a glimpse of your own sin, a peek at how much He has forgiven you.”—Jon Courson

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
