Romans 5:8 (NLT)
But God showed His
great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners
When you think of the love of God, what comes to
your mind? We are limited by our finite
minds and experiences to comprehend the true meaning of God’s love. There are no conditions placed on God's love
for us. God’s love does not depend on
you doing all you can to become good. He
doesn’t promise to send Christ if you promise to love Him; in fact God sent His
Son while you were still in your sins.
God’s love for us has always existed.
His love is so great that He initiated the act required to reconcile
sinful mankind with His holiness and perfection. He did all the giving and sacrificing long
before we were even aware that we needed His love.
God’s love is very different from human love. Read I Corinthians 13 again for the model of
God’s love. God's love is unconditional
and not dependent on feelings. He
doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He
loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with
Him, and He sacrificed His own Son who willingly died for us to restore that
relationship.
