Wednesday Reading: Romans 5:10-11
Key Verse: Romans 5:10
10 For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Devotion:
Have you ever thought of God’s love and how He expresses it towards us? Have you ever wondered whether His love towards you is as much as they say it is? Well, just think about this one thing... how could someone express their absolute love for you even before you got to be friends with them? How could we be the focus of His love even before we got to know Him? The answer is quite simple – that love is real and it is more than any love anyone else has ever expressed toward you!
When someone expresses their love toward you in ways that confound you, what do you do about it? If someone were to walk up to you and say just how much they loved you even though you hardly knew them, what would you do about it? I would be wary about this person until I got to know them and until I found out whether their feelings were true or not – then I think I may be in some sort of shape to deal with the situation. And that is how we tend to deal with God’s love toward us. If we do not know Him then we tend to be wary of that love and even reject it – but when we get to know Him then we realise just how true that love actually is!
Jesus did something for us that we should never forget. He gave us a way of being reconciled with God. Even if we have rejected Him to begin with and have done all manner of things against God, Jesus reconciliation is absolute and will always be... But we are the ones who have to believe that that is in fact the truth. If we do not believe Jesus then He will not reconcile us with God! It is not that He does not want to but that He cannot because we are rejecting Him! Accept Christ into your life. Believe that He really does love you and He will show you levels of love that you thought were never possible!
Points to Ponder:
How deep is your love?
Do you know God’s love yet?
