Have you ever wondered why God did
it? Why did God give us the Gospel, the good news, the news that even though we
were without hope, Jesus came and died and rose again so that all who call on
His name will be saved. What is it about us that makes us so special. What
could we have to offer a perfect, holy, righteous God? Well the answer is
nothing. God did not do it because we were worth it or that we could offer him
something . God did it because he loves us. He knew that there was nothing
about us that deserved the gospel, the good news. Nothing about us that
deserved the gift of Jesus Christ. But God the father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit, did it anyway, because they love us. In Ephesians 2:4-7 the bible
states "but Because of his great love
for us, God who is rich mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead
in transgressions , it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up
with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in
order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his
grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Do
you see it? God did it because he
loves us. He chose to love us and it is because of his great love, he gave us
life. We are the recipients of the great love of God, so thats why he made a
way for us, Why he died for us, and why one day he will come back for us. God
the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit love us so much that they brought us to
themselves. Don't ever think, there was something in us that deserved The Good
News, but God love us so much that he gave himself so we could be with him.
Thank you God for loving us that
much.
