God's Unconditional Love -
by Pastor Paul M. Sadler
"But God commendeth [directed] His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).
We
often hear couples speak of their love for one another after years of
marriage, but there is a greater and deeper love--the love of God. The
above is perhaps one of the most profound verses in the Word of God. It
is amazing when we consider that God has directed His love toward us.
But in what way did He do so? The answer is found in the very next
statement: "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." In other
words, when we were in total rebellion against God, dead in trespasses
and sins, and shouting profanities in the face of God out of hatred for
Him, God intervened to provide a way of salvation. In unconditional
love, He sent His Son, the Son of His love, to die for His enemies--you
and me!
God
has made a provision for all, but only those who place their faith in
the finished work Christ at Calvary will be saved from their sins. You
see, God will not accept your good works for salvation. The Word of God
could not be clearer on the matter: "Not by works of righteousness which
we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us" (Titus 3:5).
Perhaps you are wondering: "What must I do to be saved?" It is simply
this: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died for your sins, and
rose again (I Cor. 15:3,4). The moment you trust Christ as your personal
Savior, all of your sins will be forgiven, and God will grant you the
free gift of eternal life.
God
loves you; Christ died to save you; what more could He do for you?
Trust Him today before it's too late. Believe me when I say, you do not
want to leave this life without Christ. To do so will leave you with an
eternity of regret, because there are no second chances beyond the veil
of death--it's now or never! Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and God
will save you wonderfully by His grace. But the good news does not end
here; He will also give you a new life in Christ!
