God's Love for Us

Every time I think about the love of God, I’m blown away. Honestly, I can’t fully wrap my mind around His love and His goodness towards us because, from a human perspective, it doesn’t really make sense.

We didn’t do anything to deserve His love. We didn’t earn it. We didn’t ask for it. In fact, we were sinful by nature and had rebelled against Him. Yet despite all of that, God still chose to pour out His love on us as though we were worthy of it.

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

Just pause and think about that for a moment.

God loved us so much that He gave His only Son for us—the most precious gift He could ever give. He willingly gave Jesus so that we could be reconciled to Him and have a relationship with Him.

Whenever I think about this, I can't help but ask myself: Who are we in God's eyes that He desired a relationship with us so deeply that He was willing to give His own Son?

Materially speaking, God gains nothing from us. Everything we have already belongs to Him because He created it. There is nothing we can do to impress Him. Every gift, every talent, every ability we possess came from Him in the first place. Without Him, we can't even breathe. He doesn't need us to serve Him—He has countless angels who worship Him day and night. He doesn't even need our worship. The whole universe worships Him. Jesus said that if we remained silent, the stones themselves would cry out. And yet, despite all of that, what God desires most is our love and our relationship with Him.

If you have ever questioned your worth, let this encourage you: you are incredibly valuable to God. He gave everything for you—that’s how much He values you. I still haven’t figured out why He values us so much, but He does, and His love really melts my heart.

Every time I think about the people I've met who struggled to surrender certain relationships, ambitions, or possessions when God asked them to so their lives could be totally His and so they could walk in His perfect will. This always saddens me because He has so much in store for them but also because I realise how much He has given for us. Surely, what He is asking of us it not much in comparison.

Imagine that He let His Son become like one of us—He was God and yet chose to become like man. He humbled Himself so low that He became like His creation so His Father could be reconciled with His creation. Then God watched His Son be tortured, humiliated, rejected, betrayed, and beaten by His creation, and eventually Jesus was killed by the very people He came to reconcile to His Father. Imagine watching your child going through all that and not stepping in when you had the power to destroy them with one word. That is God’s love for you. On top of that God had to reject and abundant Jesus when Jesus took our sins on Him because He was separated from God due to that sin.

Our God is so merciful to us. We don’t deserve it, yet somehow He chooses to treat us as His children rather than as servants. Sometimes we come back to Him covered in the mess we have created—the wrong decisions we have made or the mistakes that have led us astray, even though we knew better. Yet He compassionately welcomes us, washes us clean, and reminds us of who we are in Him rather than what we have done.

We are His beloved children. Like the prodigal son who believed he had messed up so badly that he was no longer worthy to be called his father's son, we can feel the same when we fail. But instead of condemning us because of our actions, God looks at the price Jesus has already paid for us. He clothes us with a robe, places a ring on our finger, and restores our identity in Christ Jesus. We are a new creation in Him.

God desires for us to know who we are in Him. We are His children and co-heirs with Christ. Jesus died so that our old identity could be exchanged for His righteousness, making us sons and daughters of God and heirs of His Kingdom. How amazing is that? God desires not only for us to belong to Him but also to inherit His Kingdom. We have nothing to offer that could add to Him, and yet He delights in blessing us.

Why? Because of His love. God is love, and He delights in pouring His love upon His creation.

If you don’t know God’s love, it could be possible that you have a wrong perspective of God. Maybe you see Him totally differently. Maybe you think that God is angry with you? Or that He is terrifying and is looking for ways to punish you for every wrong thing you have done, or maybe you think God is condemning you because you didn’t do something the way you should. There may be consequences, but God is not condemning you.

All these wrong beliefs about God and His ways are designed to separate you from God and His love. The enemy will work hard to keep you away from the truth or to distort your view of God and your identity so you feel condemned and not worthy to walk with God, and so you are walking in guilt and shame instead of enjoying your relationship with your Father and walking in your inheritance and purpose.

The best way to ensure that you are walking in the truth is to ensure that you are constantly in the Word of God so you know what the Bible says about you and God, and that you meditate on the truth, reminding yourself when contrary thoughts come, because they will, and keep proclaiming the truth until it is in your spirit and you really believe it in your heart and not only in your head.

Sometimes, it will be a battle of the mind, especially when you are working on renewing your mind to ensure that it aligns with the Word of God. Sometimes, the enemy will put different thoughts in your mind so you don’t believe the Word of God or will offer you wrong belief patterns, so you need to watch and be careful what you allow in your mind and ensure that the Bible is your foundation.

If you have never knew God and His nature before, especially as a new believer, it will take time to renew your thinking. Immerse yourself in God's Word and allow His truth to reshape the way you think about Him and about yourself. Our minds are much like a hard drive—we can fill them with truth or with lies. Make sure you are filling yours with what builds your faith instead of what tears you down, because God's desire is always to strengthen and establish you.

God has already given us everything that we need, and nothing can separate us from His love. We only need to accept and receive it through the complete work of Jesus, who came to die for our sins and to reconcile us to the Father so we can enjoy our relationship here on earth and not only when we meet Him in Heaven.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." — Romans 8:38–39

If you don’t know God and would like to have a relationship with Him, I encourage you to invite Him into your heart through the prayer below. I promise you, your life will never be the same. Every time I look back at when I gave my life to Christ, I remember the joy that I had. I instantly knew that something new was birthed on the inside of me and that I was alive in Christ, and I want the same for you.

Please, pray the prayer if you want to have a relationship with the One True God.

Lord, I confess that I am a sinner and I need Your salvation. Lord Jesus, I thank You that You died for my sins and wrongdoings. I thank You that You paid the price for my sins so I can have a relationship with God and receive eternal life. Jesus, I invite You into my heart as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You that now You and the Father come to live in me. Lord, I thank You for the Holy Spirit, whom You’ve given me as a Helper. I receive Him in the mighty name of Jesus. Please help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
