“But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us” – Romans 5:8

787542_39561488 Jesus already proved with His life death and resurrection that He loves you and there is nothing that you can do that would make Him love you any more or any less! Just 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.” His very motivation for everything in our life is love. He desires a deep relationship with us and it is our choice to receive the gift of His Son on the cross . . . the ultimate gift!!!

118411_8802 When witnessing, we must remember that the deepest need of every person’s heart is to know that they are loved. If we don’t receive this kind of appreciation or attention that we need, we start to look to other things and that is where we get hurt, whether is was by friends, family members, coworkers . . . etc. These all become competing affections, but more importantly–if we are not saved–we will try to find other ways to get to heaven. However, there is only ONE way and that is through Jesus Christ, who came that we can be saved from our sin and our eternal consequence of hell., He now invites us into a personal relationship with Himself! All our needs can be met in Him! Life is about relationships: relationship with God and our relationships with others. We cannot be a successful and joyful person until we receive His gift of love and make Him the Lord of our life!!!!
