Our human experience often limits our understanding of God’s love. We tend to limit how much we will love and continue to forgive—even in our most important lessons.
The Apostle Paul gives us a glimpse into how high, long, deep, and wide God’s love is for us when he writes:
“God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Romans 5:8)
God didn’t wait for us to repent before He made a way of salvation. He didn’t wait for us to see the error of our ways and apologize. The world was in revolt when God sent His Son to die for our sins, and Paul saw this as proof of God’s love.
If you were a millionaire and your son was kidnapped, you’d probably give your millions to get him back. And if you were a billionaire, you’d probably give your billions to get him back. But what if your child was evil? What if your child hated you, ran away from you, did everything you forbade, and even cursed your name? And what if he continued to do this for years? Would you still give everything to get your wicked child back?
Maybe not. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That’s the essence of the Good News.
Listen: God loves you! He's crazy about you! It doesn’t matter what you’ve said. What you've done doesn't matter at all! It doesn’t matter what you’ve left unsaid or undone. God loves you! He sent Jesus for you!
And there’s not a thing you can do about it—except respond to the grace God’s offered and allow Him to accept you as you are, redeem you, and help you become the person He had in mind when He first thought of creating you!
That kind of love can change your life—and mine! Live in response to the limitless, all-forgiving, reconciling love of God today!
