Does God love me?

God’s Word says:

 

God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5v8)

 

Greater love has no-one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. (John 15v13,14)

 

Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy , made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions (sin) - it is by grace you are (have been) saved. For it is by grace you have (are) been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no-one can boast. (Ephesians 2v4,5; 8,9)

 

Christ is the mediator of a new covenant (the blood of this covenant is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins Mathew 26 v27, 28), that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance - now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement , so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Hebrews 9 v 15, 27, 28)

 

Jesus says: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life." (Revelation 21 v 6)

 

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Mathew 11 v 28 - 30)

 

Thank God for His blessed Mercy, Grace and Love - for the Lord takes delight in His people; He crowns the humble with Salvation. Praise God!
