- *GOD'S LOVE*
- by Carrie Anderson
-
- ***********************************************************************
- Scripture- Ephesians 2:4,5 "But God! So rich is He in mercy! Because of
- and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with
- which He loved us, Even when we were dead by our own shortcomings and
- trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with
- Christ. He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life
- which He quickened Him. For it is by grace by His favor and mercy which
- you did not deserve - that you are saved (delivered from judgment and
- made partakers of Christ's salvation)."
-
- Do you live with this hidden fear that God is angry with you? Or that
- you don't quite measure up to God's expectations of you? I know for
- most of my Christian life I thought those very same things. In
- addition to that, I lived with this nagging fear in the back of my mind
- that I was totally displeasing to God, and unworthy of His love.
-
- What a wrong concept of God that is...nothing could be farther from the
- truth. Paul tells us that God has a wonderfully intense love for us and
- that He is merciful and kind toward us and that He has imparted to us the
- very life of Christ.
-
- Listen, you can rest assured in the fact that God loves you and He truly
- cares for you. You need not fear every time you make a mistake that
- God will turn His back on you, but know this, that we have forgiveness
- through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and mine.
