1 John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the love that God has for us…
You may know that God cares for you and loves you, and that He demonstrated His love for you by dying on the cross for you, but do you believe it? It is one thing to know about the love that God has for you, but another thing to actually believe it in your heart.
It is one thing to know that the sun shines on us during the day. But it is another thing to believe that the sun is still shining even though we don’t feel its warmth and all we see is darkness. Sometimes we are slow in believing God’s love for us when we are going through a tough time. But God wants you to know and believe that He loves you in the midst of your problems and that He is wholly on your side defending and taking care of you.
When you feel unworthy because you have just gone wrong for the umpteenth time, know and believe that your heavenly Father still has no condemnation for you. (Romans 8:1). So come boldly to His throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace. (Hebrews 4:16)
Know and believe that since He loved you and died for you while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8) at your worst and ugliest, how much more is His love for you now that you are His beloved child and the righteousness of God in Christ! (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Thought for the day!
If God, the most powerful being in the universe, is for you, can anyone or anything come against you successfully?
