Have
you allowed God, who created the universe, to love you deeply?
He
desires a personal love relationship with you.
How
would your life change if you were convinced of God’s great love for you?
God
Sees You Through Eyes of Love
“God
is love” (1 John 4:8), God
doesn’t just give love. He is love. Unconditional, self-giving, other-centered
love is the essence of God.
God
loves you regardless of your position in life, your religion or your thoughts
and behaviors.
Even
your sins — past, present and future — cannot stop God from loving you.
God
longs to heal the hurting, strengthen the weak, and cheer the discouraged. He
never gives up on anyone.
Why?
Because the Creator of the Universe custom-designed you and cherishes you.
Job said, “You guided my conception and formed me
in the womb. You clothed me with skin and flesh, and you knit my bones and
sinews together. You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love” (Job 10:10-12, NLT).
God
Designed You to Live in Harmony with Him
God
created you in His image to live in a love relationship with Him.
In
the beginning, God walked with Adam.
God
and the man He had created were in perfect unity. God gave; Adam received. God
loved; Adam trusted.
Satan
hated that unity. He knew that if he could sever the relationship, he would
destroy Adam and all of mankind after him.
So,
Satan tempted Adam and Eve. They disobeyed God and that broke the connection.
Every
person since that day is now born with a sin nature and separated from God with
a sin nature.
Mankind is sinful and sin deserves death. “The
wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23,
BSB).
God
is holy and full of all life. What could bridge this vast gulf?
Religion
is mankind’s way of trying to become good enough to earn a restored
relationship with God.
“With man it is impossible, but with God all things
are possible …” (Matthew 19:26, BSB).
God
Wants You to Live with Him Forever
Because God loves us, he paid the price for our sins. “God
showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were
still sinners” (Romans 5:8, NLT).
Through
God’s plan of forgiveness, it’s possible to connect with Him.
God’s
plan has nothing to do with religion; it has everything to do with having a
personal, love relationship with the living God.
By
dying on the cross, Jesus, God’s holy and perfect Son, paid the penalty for our
sin so we could be reunited with God in eternal life.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and
only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16,
NIV).
If
you believe in Jesus and invite Him into your life, eternal life with God is
yours! When you leave this earth, you will go to heaven to live with Him
forever.
The
promise of eternal life is yours by faith in what Jesus did for you on the
cross.
“For it is by grace you have been saved through faith,
and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no
one can boast…” —Ephesians 2:8-9, BSB
Jesus is the only way to heaven. He said, “I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me”
(John 14:6, NLT).
God
Wants to Love Others Through You
Jesus
came to free us from past sins and give us eternal life.
And
He also came to replace our sin nature with His nature of love so we can live
on earth as God designed.
God
designed you to know His love and to share that love with others. Loving others
marks you as a follower of Jesus.
Jesus said, “As I have loved you, so you must love
one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love
one another” (John 13:34, 35, NIV).
God
created you to live life on earth like Jesus did — in union with his Father.
Jesus encourages, “Remain in me, as I also remain
in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither
can you bear fruit unless you remain in me… As the Father has loved me, so have
I loved you. Now remain in my love” (John
15:4, 9, NIV).
By
surrendering to His will, we let Jesus live His life of love through us.
God
created you to live in unity with Him so that you radiate Jesus’ life of
unconditional, self-giving, other-centered love.
God
Gives You the Freedom to Choose
You
can have a relationship with God that begins now and stretches throughout
eternity.
God
wants you to know and enjoy Him forever. He longs to embrace you and call you His
own.
Jesus cried out, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, . . . How
often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her
chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me” (Matthew 23:37, NLT).
Hear
the love in His words. Today He is calling you.
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my
voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as
friends” (Revelation 3:20, NLT).
If
you desire to open the door and ask Jesus into your life, sincerely say these
words to Him:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for your love for me. Thank
You for dying on the cross for my sins. You have bridged the gulf that
separated us.
By faith I receive You as my Savior. Thank You for
giving me eternal life.
Lord Jesus, make me into the person You want me to be.
Be the Lord of my life and live Your life in and through me. Replace my sinful
nature with Your nature so that I love others as You first loved me.
Thank you, Jesus.
