Romans 3:22-24

It's a Beautiful Thing

Life... it is a beautiful thing. It truly is. And that beautiful gift is given only through the love of God our Heavenly Father. It is a love so great He was not willing to punish us or give us what we deserved. A love so great only the perfect sacrifice would do. The perfection of the Son of God was the only payment that would do according to the Almighty himself. Undeserving love from the Creator.

Sometimes it is difficult for me to believe, at times I doubt it. I doubt that God even wants my love... it is filth it seems, compared to His love for me. The thing is, He not only wants my love, He wants all of me!!! He wants unadulterated love, full of devotion and dedication to him, the one who made us... to love. It is a choice to be made: Love God or love the world... no sitting on the fence... no loving both, just one or the other. It is a hard concept to grasp. It is a difficult request to act upon and live out. Unadulterated love. A love that lives life with Christ. It is a beautiful thing.

"We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins."
