Hello steemians, today I'll be writing a topic I titled "through it all". This topic is centered on God's love through it all. In times of our unbelief, our unfaithfulness and all God's love is with us through it all.
When we feel all hope is lost, when we feel like there is no way to turn to, we still have our heavenly father's love to guide us through.
God does not love us because we serve him, or because we love him, he loves us because we are his children, he loves us despite our imperfections.
In the Bible, God tells us:
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Jesus, Himself, when speaking about the people who belong to Him, put it this way:
"My purpose is to give life in all its fullness." John 10:10
Even when life seems out of control, you can be sure of this...God has a plan and a purpose for you. Because of God’s love for each one of us, He provided a plan for our salvation - the way that we can become a part of His family and live the life He has promised us.
Now here is our biggest problem; SIN, because of sin we are separated from God, he doesn't stop loving us we are not just close and cannot see his glory so we disillusion ourselves into thinking that we are unloved.
"For all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious standard." Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth." I John 1:8
But, because of God’s deep love for each one of us, He provided the way of salvation – the only way that we are able to enter a relationship with Him. This plan is called "the Gospel." The word Gospel means "Good News." The Good News is that God Himself has already made all the arrangements for our salvation. No matter what we have done, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice is able to pay the penalty for our sin. God loves us and wants us to be His own child.
Even when we have turned our back against him he still looks out for us and provides a way to come back to him, the greatest sacrifice of all, his only begotten son, all to show that THROUGH IT ALL our lord's love is always with us.
Shalom!!!!!
