What is the most important message of the Bible?
Answer: that God loves us.

The Bible has many messages that are important to us, but the most important of these is that He loves us. Just trying to get our heads around that unconditional, incredible love is a good starting point to trying to understand the Bible as a whole. God's love, in short, really is mindboggling! How many fathers would sacrifice their sons, especially if that son were perfect? And that is just one example of His love.

We think that because we are x or because we are y, God loves us less than other people. No! God loves everyone the same. Don't forget that Jesus said: "I have come not to call the righteous but to call sinners." (Matthew 9:13). It is by His grace that He loves us and not because we are worthy of His love.

So when you feel weak and unworthy, take His strength and His worth and start your day!

God loves us, and wants us to see His love!


Christian Aid Collect by Bishop Patrick Kyaligonza of Uganda.

God of love, who is love,
Melt our indifferent hearts of stone.
Open our eyes to your children's suffering
And lift our heads to see your perfect love again.
Work a miracle in our lives
That through your Spiritually
And our softened hearts obedience
We might give our very selves to keep hope
And our partnerships alive,
And to be the change you require.
Amen.
