Oh How He Loves Us!

Isaiah 53:2-11

Nothing in this world has ever grieved God before, not ever, except man. Why? Because He loves man like nothing else. He was and is God, He has and can destroy His creation, He has done it before. But, “God so loved….He gave” The Lamb “of” God. We think people killed Jesus, but clearly we see He was God’s sacrifice that He be brought to the altar (v.10-11). Justice had to be satisfied. He is holy. Jesus told Pilate that He had no authority unless the father had given to Him. This was God, He raised and nurtured a spotless lamb to be His sacrificial offering to lay on the altar and be slaughtered for a propitiation for our sins/souls. Propitiation means: The appeasement of Divine wrath by a sacrificial offering. Sacrifice means: To kill or slaughter for a purpose. Jesus had a purpose and it was you. This word “of” (Lamb “of” God) means God h=gave himself to be slaughtered. The bible says, “No greater love hath a man than to lay down his life for his friends”. He is calling us friends because this is exactly what He did for us! Jesus’ righteousness by itself makes a fit companion and bride! Jesus gave us righteousness as a gift so the Father could enjoy his children. After all, He did create us for His pleasure, we did not create Him. Only God Himself could fulfill these requirements anyway. He created us to dwell with Him, for He has desired us. His desire is to give us His divine nature which is what He is and His love. (1 John 4:19) Blood is the only/sole penance for sin. When Jesus died He had legal rights to redeem us. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Tell the Devil, “Show me proof! Because I’ve got proof!” So you see, we cannot work for God’s love, or even work to love Him (1 John 4:10) we must know how He loves us first or we will never love Him (or others) rightly. You say how do I know? I just can’t receive it. Well that’s your choice. The word says is 1 Corinthians 14:1 to pursue love! That’s it. All we have to do is pursue God, for He is love (1 John 4:8).

Romans 10:17

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The word is God (John 1:1) and God is love, faith comes out of love. Ask and you shall receive. We must have faith He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. If we cry out to know Him, He will let us, He is ready. He’s been waiting for you. Read Revelation of love: 1 Corinthians 13:4-10,12-13 This is His love and this is what will happen to us when we realize it.
