He Loves You
Letting Christ Be Our Example
HE LOVES YOU
Thought Nugget #1

The love of God for you is so great that He gave His only Son to be crucified for your sins, replacing us on the cross to die in your stead, so that we might have the right to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Just to know that He left His throne to put on sinful, mortal flesh to be disliked, beaten, and betrayed. To be tempted and talked about, just for our sake, always leaves me hopeful.
Jesus died for all of humanity!
It doesn't matter what your culture, creed, background, nationality, or religion, etc.
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!!!
And just in case you think that you've gone too far in sin and can't be saved,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WRONG!
The Bible says that God's mercy endures FOREVER!
That means, you can never want to be saved and God won't save you!
He has more mercy than you have sin!!! Isn't that great news?
Isn't it the most wonderful thing, that we don't have to earn God's love? If we did, none of us would ever get it! PRAISES BE TO THE GOD WHO LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY!!!
You cannot be separated from His love!
There's nothing you can do that will make Him stop loving you!
When we hated Him, He returned love!
When we struck Him, He turned the other cheek!
When we mocked, cursed, and spat upon Him, He asked His father to forgive us!
What power can rival that kind of love?
What an amazing feeling it is to believe and embrace the wonderful love of Christ!
As we turn our faith to The Crucifixion, we can't help but be richly affected.
Imagine yourself at the foot of the cross on that day. It deeply saddens our hearts to see the blood and pain He endured as we look into His eyes and see the tears flowing down our sweet Savior's face.
It is at the cross that we learn our true value! It is there that we find strength! It is there that we find pardon! It is there that we find the hope of salvation! It is there that we realize just how much God really loves us! And, it is there that we find that as surely as Christ died, we have a reason for living!
So, Be Encouraged!
Malachi 3:6 says that God never changes! That means that the same love that sacrificed for you on that cross is the same love that is with you today! God's love is always there holding you and comforting you! Especially in those times when you think its not!
It was God's holding on to you that brought you this far! So keep your head and eyes lifted upward, trusting in God & never giving up, for you can see your value in the cross! Now let Your spirit rise, and your faith increase, because Jesus first loved you with NO strings attached!
So whatever the enemy tosses you, you toss it right back & declare, get behind me Satan! I AM LOVED! And cannot be separated from it! Be encouraged that you will be able to look back on that great day and say "Heaven was cheap enough"!
Hebrews 13:5 says that God will never leave you nor forsake you. And Psalms 30:5 says Weeping May Endure For A Night, But Joy Cometh In The Morning.
Isaiah 41:10 also says "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
So remember my friend to always...
Be Encouraged!
