The Love of God

 Here is this week's Bible Verse.

VERSE:             Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

REFLECTION:

There are a lot of people who are refusing to accept Jesus as their Savior because they don't feel they are worthy. Some might feel their sins are so egregious that there is no way anyone would pay the debt for their sins.

There are also those who think they will wait until they are clean or free of sin before accepting Jesus. Maybe you are one of them or maybe you have a friend or a family member who thinks this way.

Fortunately for each and everyone of us we can point to this verse and know that it doesn't matter if we are sinning. If we just give our life to Jesus He will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Eventually we will be so thankful to Him that we will not want to sin and we will instead praise and worship Him.

Every year Adult & Teen Challenge comes to our church. They usually sing and give testimonies. If you ever doubt the love of Jesus and your worthiness to receive salvation just listen to the testimonies of these individuals. They didn't wait to get free of sin or their addiction before accepting Jesus. Instead they, like all believers humbled themselves and accepted Jesus as their Savior. Then Jesus cleaned house as he does and will do for all of us if we just accept Him as our Savior.

PRAYER:

Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for loving me so much that you were willing to die for me. Please open the eyes of unbelievers. I pray they will humble themselves and come to accept you as their Savior. Please use me to spread the Gospel and the love of Jesus to family and friends. In Jesus Name Amen.

Hope you enjoyed today's verse.
