Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
The Lord Jesus came to show us what God is like. He
revealed Himself to us to let us know how much
God loves us, and how that He’s more willing and concerned
for our success than we could ever be. He desires our good
more than we could ever want. The human mind, however,
can’t figure this out. “How could God love me?” one may ask,
but Jesus proved that He does.
Jesus was different from all the patriarchs and the
prophets; He was different from Abraham, Jacob, Isaac,
Moses, Joshua, etc. The prophets preached and prophesied
judgments: “...If you sin, be sure your sins shall find you out”
(Numbers 32:23). Ezekiel prophesied, “...The soul that sinneth
shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4). Moses commanded the children of
Israel, according to the Law, to stone people to death who
had committed certain sins.
But when Jesus came, He brought grace and truth:
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). The Bible says by Him, all who
believe are justified from all things, from which they couldn’t
be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:39). It’s a new day!
Glory to God! Jesus proved the Father’s love.
The Father has always loved us. Jeremiah 31:3 says,
“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting love….” To prove His great love
for us, He sent Jesus: “For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). The
Father couldn’t do any more than He did when He sent His

Son, Jesus Christ. That’s all He needed to do to demonstrate
His love for us, and He did it.
Enjoy the love of God today, knowing that He did the
utmost that could have ever been done to prove His love for
you. You’re, indeed, valuable to Him.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, thank you for paying
the price that I could never have
paid, in demonstration of the
Father’s unconditional love,
mercy, and overwhelming
kindness towards me. Now I live
joyfully in righteousness, free to
serve you without guilt, inferiority
or condemnation. I walk in this
consciousness. Hallelujah!
