GOD'S LOVE FOR MANKIND
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus, I trust we are all doing just fine praise be to God. This write up for today is so important in our work with God in other for us to understand in fullness who God is and how he relates to those in loves.often at times when God disciplines us we tend to feel as if he hates us.
When i was about 9 years going to 10 I had a problem with my dad just because i was so stubborn my dad was trying to save me from getting into serious problems he knew if i grew up with what am doing it will be hard to correct , so one day as usual i did those bad things i use to do and ran away, my father called up the bigger boys to go get me he flogged me so badly i cried and said you are not my father if you were, you won't beat me up this way.
That is how many of us see God, when he disciplines us. My father's discipline was not out of hate but out of love. many of us see when God wants to correct us we think he hates us no God loves you so dearly let's look at some bible verses to collaborate what we are reading right now.
(HEBREW 12:16) FOR THE LORD DISCIPLINES and CORRECTS THOSE WHOM HE LOVES, AND HE PUNISHES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES and WELCOMES [TO HIS HEART].”
out of this verse you can see a unique form of love to an extent God forbids the one he loves to just live freely without having a form of discipline so when God corrects you it is out of love not hate, not because of one thing or the other it is all about his love for man.
(John 3:16 ) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The relationship of God and man is borne out of love for everything God has given to man was given in love in fact love is the propeller of your relationship with God, without love you can't be right with God, christ jesus is fully aware of this relationship borne out of love he said the greatest command are all based on love
(Matthew 22:37) And Jesus replied to him, “‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This fact is so clear because love is a two way thing and God loves you so much he sacrificed his son because of that love so what remains is for you to give him back love in return.
Listen, brothers and sisters, without love you can't fulfill God's plan for you. Like what is happening in the church the love of many has waxed and cooled that's why love is so missing in the family, the church, business places and all around.
(Romans 5:8) - But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
God has shown you his love you is now your time to show God your love for him we cant be playing around thinking is an all loving God who doesn't discipline that is not true we do not want God to correct us so we go on our own free will and have a free fall to hell God dont want you to perish.
(Jeremiah 31:3) - The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
The love of God also comes with his faithfulness. The same thing happens to people who love God and must be faithful to the very end, this is the foundation God has created out of his love for mankind. Do not sit on the fence wondering why you are going through things in life and asking does God truly loves you? the answer is yes he does truly loves you and that is why he allowed somethings to come your way as in the form of a correction for any child who is truly loves must be corrected to grow in the right path, your love for God is a two way thing he has first loved you , love him back in return, for Gods love for mankind is real stay bless.
