“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.” John 3:16
Under the new covenant of
His amazing grace, your Father in heaven isn’t looking to judge you for your
failings because He has already judged your every failing, mistake, and sin in
the body of His own Son, Jesus Christ. The name that Jesus came to reveal in
the new covenant of grace is “Father.” Today God wants to reach out to you as a
caring and loving Father.
Do you know the extent of
His heart of love toward you?
Did you know that it was
His idea to send Jesus to be punished at the cross for you?
Read the most famous
passage in the Bible and personalize it so that you can see God’s heart
for you: “For God so loved you that He gave His
only begotten Son, that you who believe in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world
to condemn you, but that you through Him might be
saved” (John 3:16–17). Know beyond the shadow of a doubt today that your Father
loves you and sent His own Son to save you.
Understand that we are not
belittling the work of Jesus at the cross when we talk about the Father and His
love for you. The truth is Jesus came to reveal the love of the Father to you.
God so loved you that He sent His one and only beloved Son to pay the heavy
price at the cross to cleanse you of all your sins.
Do you know that God loves
Jesus dearly? Jesus is God’s darling Son, the apple of His eye. Now, if your
Father in heaven didn’t withhold His precious Son, Jesus Christ, and sacrificed
Him for you, how much do you think He loves you? You cannot begin to comprehend
the intensity and sheer magnitude of your Father’s love for you until you realize
how much the Father loves Jesus—because He gave up Jesus to ransom you.
I hope you are beginning to experience and see for yourself just how loved you are by the Father and how precious you are to Him! Don’t fear Him—see the heart of your Father’s love unveiled through Calvary’s cross. (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince used with kind permission).
