The Love of God

The Love of God  -  Seventy Six

     The Love of God is such a wonderful thing.  It is what motivated Him to instead of condemning man to save Him.  It is the love of God that sent Jesus Christ to the cross for the salvation of all.  The love of God is long suffering.  It is patient and kind.  It keeps no record of wrong when cleanse through the blood of Jesus Christ.  The psalmist said that the Lord will take our sins and toss them as far as the east from the west.   Mike Warnke said, `”that God`s love took our sins and toss them into the sea of forgetfulness.”  The God of God allows us to receive, produce and be of real value in our world.  We can make an impact.  Even the smallest word or deed can change someone’s eternity. 
     It is the love of God motivates us to serve and love Him.  While we were yet sinners Christ died for us.  We could even say this, “While we were yet sinners Christ loved us and died for us.”  The charity and compassion of Christ’s motivates us to speak for those who do not have a voice.  To protect those who cannot protect themselves.  To do the works of Him who sent us.  We are Christ’s ambassadors in this world.  Our motivation is love and obedience to the great commandment.  “We are called to love the Lord with every fiber of our being and then love our neighbor as we love ourselves.”  It is the love of God that changes the vilest sinner into the greatest saint.  This happens because His love creates mercy, grace and peace.  Love is the foundation for faith and hope.  It creates hope in the future and works with faith to bring about the will of God. 
     Today respond to God’s love.  Let it be your foundation and standard of faith.  Hope in the Lord and the wonderful and eternal life you have.  Spread this love through your life to others.  Do things that show you love Christ.  Be God’s hand of love to those around you for the glory of God.
