"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16
Ever claimed that you loved someone so much you'd die for them? Well Jesus, actually did die for us. His love for us exceeds anything we can ever understand. To think that he didn't do anything wrong, yet, he took the beating for you and me.
The songs that speak this truth of Gods never ending, unconditional love are numerous. Two of my favorites are "True Love" by Phil Wickham and "How He Loves Us" by David Crowder band. If you haven't heard those songs you should go and listen to them .....go on now! ;-)
Let me share with you the lyrics to the chorus of "True Love." They say this:
If that doesn't put things in perspective and give you a visual image of the Lord's true love for us, I don't know what will. Sometimes, it's hard for me to understand why Christ would do this for me, and why he had to. However, I know that he had to do it to save me. He did it so that I wouldn't be condemned and I wouldn't have to. He. Loves. Me.The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers broken hearttears were filling heaven's eyesThe day that true love died, the day that true love diedWhen blood and water hit the groundWalls we couldn’t move came crashing downWe were free and made aliveThe day that true love died, The day that true love died
The Lord is my Father and he loves me. The Lord is YOUR Father and he loves you.
Oh, how he loves us!
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
~Romans 5:8
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~Romans 8:38-39
