Because of HIS Love For Us

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!
