5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 5:5-10 (KJV)
Each week when deciding what to write I find myself questioning as to what I am going to write about and is it offering hope and encouragement as I had initially invisioned. There are times after I finish that I know what I have written is right on and then there are those that seem to shoot a blank. I pray that this simple truth I write about today hits its target, which is the heart of those that love Him, those that take Him for granted, and those that give no thought of Him.
We go to church in our different denominations or non-denominations, all with different doctrines and use these differences to separate our selves from each other, when in fact the Gospel is one simple truth "GOD LOVES YOU", ie John 3:16. Falling from grace, speaking in tongues, once saved always saved, predestination, you must belong to this church to go to heaven, we're right and you are wrong (I won't even go into the things we say about one another's beliefs); how insignificant this is , how small and petty it makes us in comparison to what Jesus The Christ has done and continues to do for us each day.
If these beliefs separate us then what brings us together or at least should? It is the love of God for us in that He came to earth in the form of Jesus, the Christ, Who suffered, died on the Cross, rose from the dead and at the same time we were not left to contend with things on our own, but the Spirit of the Living God came to live in us,comfort and counsel us.
Simply said God loves You!!
If you Love Him, worship Him.
If you take Him for granted, draw close to Him.
If you give no thought of Him, Come and try Him.
