God Loves Us: 08/29/10

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, don't miss that message!

Craig Gross and Jason Harper have written: "The constant noise of contemporary life makes it easy to miss the most profound message the world has ever known: Jesus loves you... This simple truth is worth our undivided attention.

You can be forgotten, love finds.
You can be broken, love mends.
You can be outcast, love includes.
You can be… and love works."

Their new book "Jesus loves you, this I know" has recently come out. Check it out here: http://www.jesuslovesyou.net/
