“A Love Like This”

 “A Love Like This”

 

Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might be willing to die for a person who is especially good.    Romans 5:7

 

In the United States, we honor the sacrifices of people who have died so others might live.  This time of honor is set aside on a particular day; we call MEMORIAL DAY. In our scripture, the Apostle Paul tells us that someone might be WILLING to die for a person who is ESPECIALLY GOOD. However, it is RARE for someone to lay down their life for another. 

It is a VERY BRAVE and LOVING act of COURAGE, one that is WORTHY of HONOR. There is another ACT of COURAGE, one that is VERY MUCH INSPIRED by a HEART of UNFAILING LOVE, a LOVE that has NO BOUNDARIES, a LOVE that is STRONG and FAITHFUL and ENDURES without end.  This LOVE is EMBODIED in the HEART of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who is Himself, GOD in the FLESH. And we know that GOD is LOVE.

But God showed His GREAT LOVE for US by sending Christ to DIE for US while we were still SINNERS. And since WE have been made RIGHT in GOD’S Sight by the BLOOD of Christ, He will CERTAINLY SAVE US from God’s CONDEMNATION. (Vv8-9)

Now, there are a few things that MUST be done, in order to receive a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD. If you have NOT come to JESUS to be SAVED from the CONDEMNATION of GOD, you are destined for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. To ESCAPE, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU and is NOW ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and the LOVE that caused HIM to lay down His LIFE for YOU. PLEASE! Do this NOW, while you STILL can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
