Let’s talk about love.
God created us and He loves us dearly. I am sure we all think it is just normal for God to love us simply because he created us. Why would you create something you don’t love, or why won't you love something you created (anyhow that goes)? So we think it is only natural for him to love us. But no, God’s love isn’t natural, it’s supernatural.
Let’s take this for example; You’re a fashion designer. You make clothes. No matter the challenges you face while making clothes, you still end up creating something beautiful. You end up loving your designs. You love the clothes you make.
The ability to make something beautiful is fulfilling. Therefore you love what you make, what you created. You love the work of your hands. How much more, when what you created is exactly the image you had in mind, perfect. This, i am sure, is close to how the Creator of Heaven and earth, who created us, must feel. He made us in His own image and loves us dearly. What makes God’s love for His creatures more than man’s love for their creations or inventions is that we have life. We are made to be like Him-in his image! His love for us is agape, unconditional.
God said in Jeremiah 1:5 that he knew us before he formed us in the belly. Yes! God knew and loved us even before we were born. God showed us His love in different ways but the most amazing is that He sent His ONLY SON to die for us so we may have eternal life (John 3:16). He died for us so that we may live.
God wants us to share this love He has for us with others. He showed His love and sent Jesus to save us. If you are saved, great! If not, you can and should be. You are welcome. There is space for everyone.
He wants us to reach out and pour this love on others by telling them how sweet it is to have God as our father. Don’t be selfish with your salvation. We are referred to as ‘witnesses’ in Acts 1:8. It is our duty to tell of His love. That Bible verse also says “we shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon us.” This means we have spiritual backing. There is nothing stopping us. We have all the tools and means we need. We go out, meet people, have phones, use the internet, engage in conversations etc. let us put God in our conversations. Join evangelism groups and/or do personal evangelism.
I stumbled on a quote recently that ended with “your life may be the only Bible someone reads.” The Bible says too that “by their fruits you shall know them.” Therefore our lifestyle says a lot. Our lifestyle should preach Christ too because people watch us.
I will end this by saying – This is Love and Christ Movement. We are taking Jesus to the world!
