Our Heavenly Father loved us so much that he sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ, so that we may be reconciled with Him. We were separated from Him at birth because Adam and Eve sinned at the very beginning. We are born into this world spiritually dead but are made spiritually alive when we believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to atone for our sins. We are only cleansed of our sins by the blood of Christ if we forgive others and repent of our sinful ways. We are now a new creation and reborn into the family of God.
God knew us even before we were born. He chose the human race when He planned salvation. In fact, our Lord Jesus Christ asked his Father to send the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of every believer to help each of us in our Christian walk of faith. We become spiritually mature when we submit our will to God and abide under the shadow of His wings. The Holy Spirit counsels us through scripture to lead us to all truth. Every word in the bible is truth as it is God breathed. The bible is a spiritual guide for daily living and used for teaching, rebuking and correction. While there are many versions of the Bible, they are correct if the original meaning is the same and interpreted correctly by the believer.
The two greatest commandments in the Bible are to love the Lord and to love your neighbor as yourself. “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”(1 John 4:16, NIV) When we live in love, we cannot be separated from the love of our Heavenly Father. If you seek Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart and soul, you will find God's unconditional love. His love is unfailing even though we may stray from Him. He wants us to seek Him out and to know Him through our relationship with the Lord. He wants us to walk in Jesus' ways and not those that tempt us to sin.
As the Father loves his Son, He also loves us when we love His Son Jesus. When we love Jesus, we follow him. Jesus Christ came to earth to save souls. His apostles spread the good news about the gift of salvation for everyone. As disciples in Christ, we too are to share the gift of salvation with others. The Holy Spirit will guide us to evangelize to others so that they also can be saved. Our time here on earth is temporary but our reward is in heaven. If you know people who do not know Jesus, then share the love of the Lord with them. They will be glad you did.
