The love of god

The love of God is a great and deep subject that will fill the minds of the redeemed for eternal ages to come. Oh, the mystery of redemption! The love of God for a world that did not love Him! A love so complete that God sent His dearly beloved Son, His only begotten Son, into this world of sin, to make an infinite sacrifice, so that we sinners may have life through Him.

Dear reader. Have you really contemplated the love of God? This is a love that cannot be matched. The sacrifice made for us is of so great a value, and yet the majority of the world either reject it, or just take it for granted. Satan has so misrepresented the character of God, that many have a false view of God. But do you realize what was done for you?

The bible said God saint his son to die and be naield to a cross and he had to be a human being forever!Just imagine having to send your child to a place where you knew he or she would be rejected, mocked and beaten. And you had to stand back and watch all of this take place without intervening. Then you had to lay all the sins of those unworthy people upon your child, turn away from your child and allow him to be killed in a most cruel way. That is what God did for you! The creator of the universe could have just simply destroyed everyone, but because of His great love for His creation, He allowed His beloved Son to be afflicted for our sins and take the punishment that we deserve. And Christ agreed to make this sacrifice for us. What love!

God could just wipe out anyone who disobayed his laws, but he dident in fact he gives us loads of chances. Even when you feel like you can't be forgiven God has all ready forgiven us!

But this doesn't just stop at the cross, no! Do you realize that the sacrifice made was not just a temporary sacrifice, but an eternal one? The majority of people just focus on Jesus being in the tomb for 3 days and think that this was the sacrifice made. But no, there was an even greater sacrifice made by the Son of God for us. Just think about this for a moment. What was Christ before He came to earth? He was 100 percent, pure divinity. He was fully and completely divine. So when Christ came to earth, He gave up His first estate as a purely divine being, and became a human. But did Christ just become a human for 33 years? No, look at what Christ said after His resurrection:

"By transgression man had separated himself from Him who alone is light and love. The sinner was 'alienated from the life of God,' 'dead in trespasses and sins.' The only hope for the fallen race was found in their becoming reconciled to God. Satan had so misrepresented God that man had no true conception of the divine character. But in carrying out the plan of salvation, Christ revealed that 'GOD IS LOVE'. (E.White, Bible Echo, Aug.1, 1892)
