Question: Why does God love us?
Answer - Part 2: First John 4:8 and 16 tell us that “God is love.” Never was a more important declaration made than this; never was more meaning crowded into a few words than in this short sentence—God is love. This is a profound statement. God doesn’t just love; He is love. His nature and essence are love. Love permeates His very being and infuses all His other attributes, even His wrath and anger. Because God’s very nature is love, He must demonstrate love, just as He must demonstrate all His attributes because doing so glorifies Him. Glorifying God is the highest, the best, and the most noble of all acts, so, naturally, glorifying Himself is what He must do, because He is the highest and the best, and He deserves all glory.
What is TRUE REPENTANCE?
It’s more than saying the sinner’s prayer; it’s more than simply saying “God forgive me of all my sins.”
It’s saying those words and THEN turning away from SIN — To STOP doing anything that
displeases God. God loves you but HATE sinful BEHAVIOR, so let’s not displease him.!
Reading the BIBLE is the SURE way of finding out what God wants you to do.!
PRAYER - Invite Jesus into your life and prepare you for heaven
Creator God and Eternal Father I acknowledge You as my Lord!
Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, I praise and worship You. I believe You died on the cross of Calvary for my sin. I believe You rose from the dead and are seated at the right hand of the Father. You redeemed me with Your blood and I am Yours. I want to live for You alone and I want to be ready when You come again to take me to You.
I stand guilty before You, Father and others for my sinful way of living and my faulty actions. I confess my sins and shortcomings. As Your child I now come to You with a contrite heart asking for forgiveness. Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, and I shall be whiter than snow and no sin shall longer count against me. I thank You.
I forgive every person that has ever wronged me in any way. Protect me against the evil one.
Holy Spirit, show me any hindrances in my life that will stand in the way of fulfilling the Father’s will in my life.
Arouse in me a willing spirit and equip me, o Lord, with obedience at all times to obey the call of Your voice. Use me in Your Kingdom and grant me Your grace. AMEN.
