The greatest human character is not of a human source, but of Almighty God. Love was shown when the Creator stepped down from His throne to die a humiliating and excruciating death, while the crowds stood by laughing and mocking Him, and He said not a word, except “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He ascended to glory after rising from the dead so that we could be saved from the deepest misery of an eternity in Hell. Justice is practiced by the Ruler of all. If any law, any one point of His law is broken, your immediate sentence is death, but because of God’s marvelous sacrifice of love, you can be spared your punishment. Not by good things you've done, but by receiving the eternal, unchanging gift of eternal life- full of joy and peace. With no more pain- no more tears, for He will wipe your tears from your eyes. All that you've done is erased in His eyes…you are pure, clean. An heir of the Creator of the ends of the earth. God is the author of peace. One night on the sea of Galilee, a horrifying storm blew and the small boat would have been destroyed if Jesus had not spoke, in His gentle but commanding voice, “Peace- be still” and the waves ceased to roar and the wind ceased to blow. The rain quieted to a symphony of nature, and the sky ceased it’s quarreling. In my heart when a war is raging- between good and evil…struggling with the question why, His gentle but commanding voice whispers in my ear, “Peace, my beloved. be still, and know that I am God.”
“Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So don't be afraid therefore; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31 HCSB)
You are never at liberty to say that you are not loved, because He who made you died to save you. Don't waste His gift by refusing it.
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” (John 3:16, 17 HCSB)
