Did you know that the greatest miracle of all was what God did for us through Jesus Christ?
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).
Love and redemption, these are the greatest miracles of all and this is what God gave us through what Jesus Christ did. Because of his love for the world, God made it possible for the world to be saved, through the sacrifice of his only begotten son. Yes, God loves you just that much. God loves us just as much. God loves everyone just as much, which is what the scripture means when it says, “For God so loved the world.” And because he loved everyone just so much, God made it possible for the entire world to be saved, through the sacrifice of his only begotten son. God’s love and his redemption does not pertain to a particular person, to a particular people group, or even to a particular nation of people. God loves everyone and he did not exclude anyone. Everyone is included. That means that regardless of what you may or may think of yourself, God loves you, unconditionally.
“When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God” (Romans 5:6-11 NLT).
God loves you. God loves you even in your darkest hours and will comfort you even in your darkest moments. God loves you and he forgives you even in your darkest failures. God loves you, more than you will ever know.
“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins” (I John 4:9-10 NLT).
God loves you probably more than you love yourself. Please note that the scriptures did not say that God loves us so much that he actually saved you. No, this is not what is being said in the scriptures and should be interpreted to say so. The scriptures are actually saying that God loved you so much that he made it possible for you to be saved, by accepting the sacrifice of his son. But the question is, Do you love yourself enough to take his “free gift of salvation,” which provided to you through the sacrifice of his son? Do you love yourself enough to claim his “free gift of everlasting life,” by believing in and accepting the son? How much do you really love yourself? Do you really love yourself enough? Do you really love yourself that much? While you are deciding just how much you truly love yourself, know that real love comes from God and that real love is God’s love for us because “God is love.”
