God Loves Us: 08/26/10

What is the most important message of the Bible?

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, Hallelujah!

This is a new song I made: a Christian version of Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah. I wrote the lyrics in about 10 minutes, so clearly divine inspiration! It's available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES6jm8KGnU0
God bless

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
But it's hard for me to find the words to praise You.
So I'll try like this the fourth, the fifth,
The minor fall and the major lift,
Or maybe I should just sing hallelujah.

My faith is strong, I've seen so much proof,
My heart is filled with a song of truth
But my hands can't seem to write anything worthy.
I'll speak of love and I'll speak of You,
And hope my voice can see it through
To pass along this one word hallelujah.

Well I know that there's a God above
My eyes have seen, my ears have heard
The wonders of this place we call Earth.
He sent His son to die for us
To bridge a gap that we had made.
And all that's left to say is hallelujah.
