God loves us so
much but do we? Well, God doesn’t force anyone to love Him; it’s something we
have to discover by ourselves. What God wants from you is to a relationship
with you. As the bible says, “For thy
pleasure they are and were created.” (Revelation
4:11). God has provided everything we are ever going to need in this life
[ref. Matthew 6:31-32]; the only thing He wants is to look unto Him [ref.
Hebrews 12:2]. The more we look unto Him, the more we understand and appreciate
the great love He has for us and with that our faith starts to grow and grow in
Him.
We must
understand that faith is not like an effort or a kind of work like the law
says. Faith is the result we get when we keep looking unto God and appreciating
His love for us. As we keep at what God has done for us, our belief in what He
has done grows and that “belief” is FAITH!
So, faith in my
very simple definition is the belief in what God has done for us GRACE. But we
can only get to appreciate God and grow in faith in Christ Jesus, as John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
God wants us to believe in Jesus who is God Himself (the Son of God) who came
as a human to die for the guilt we have been placed in by our fore father, Adam
[ref. Romans 5]; and how much He did for us to get us out of the power of
darkness to the kingdom of His dear Son [ref. Colossians 1:13]. All these are
because of His love for us and this is the gospel truth.
Why not accept
Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand
new!
