God's Story and My Life

                Scripture is a very important part of any Christian’s life.  We must look into the word every day so that we can learn about God and the way he wants us to live your lives.  When we have a good understanding of His word and what He wants us to do in our lives we have a different perspective of how we are to live out our lives.  We should have a Christian world view and stand up for things that are wrong.  We know that Christ died for us and because of this we should want to do the right thing.  We should stand out in society and people should see a difference in us because we have different values than other people.  We see creation differently and we view Christ as the savior and not just a prophet.  Understanding scripture is a very important part of our daily lives.

A love like no other

God’s love cannot be explained.  Our human minds are not large enough to grasp the concept of his love.  Every gift we have, everything we own, and all the blessings in our life are all God pouring out his love on us!  1 John 4:7-8 says “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does know God, because God is love.”  God is love!  We cannot be with God if we do not love.  I think people forget that if we do not love other people and do not care about them we are not with God.  Another way of saying it is you cannot be a Christian if you do not love!  God is so full of love that if we are Christians, like we say we are, it is impossible for us not to love others!  We hear all the time that God loves us, but do we ever actually think about it.  The entire New Testament is about how much God loves us.  Jesus did not have to die.  He could have said we were too unfaithful and did not deserve it because we did not deserve it!  Jesus had no reason to come save us, but he did out of love!  Even though we are tarnished and dirty he will always love us.  I think we should all spend more time thinking about God’s love because it really is a wonderful thing.
