God is love. His very nature is love.
And for that I am thankful. Because that means He loves out of His unchanging character.
So when the Bible says God loves the world, He does so out of His nature and not based on anything lovable in the world.
This is comforting. There is so much evil in the world, it is easy not to love it.
But because God is love, He can love even imperfect humans, including me.
That means He loves me even when I am flawed.
I may not be lovable but He loves me just the same.
He demonstrated that love when He gave Jesus as propitiation for our sins. The only requirement to enjoy this love is believe in Jesus.
What love can be greater than this?
If He loves me because of something good in me, there is very little to love. But because He loves me out of His unchanging character, He can love me to the maximum, warts and all.
I may not be performing well, for this righteousness thing is foreign to my nature, but He loves me still.
I am very thankful for this.
Aren't you?
Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina.
(Kung gusto ninyo ng karagdagang impormasyon, bisitahin ninyo kami. May pagtitipon kami sa Dahat, kada Linggo, kada 1:00-3:00 pm. Sana manampalataya kayo at kita-kita tayo.
Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan.
Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
