LOVE(n): An intense feeling of deep affection.
The Bible shows God's love for mankind.
A p e r f e c t love.
A love so wide, so long, so high and so deep
that the human mind can't even comprehend it.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son;
that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish,
but have everlasting life." John 3:16
What do you love?
If you were to make a list,
which of these things would be mentioned at the top?
Would you mention Jesus at the top?
Would you mention yourself at the top?
Would you mention your family at the top?
Would you mention sinners at the top?
Know this, if you've mentioned yourself,
family or friends on your list, you have already shown
that you're capable of loving sinners.
"For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God."
Romans 3:23
It's easy to love someone you know;
no matter the sins they commit.
Why is it then, so hard to love a person you do not know?
Why is it, that it is so hard to love a person
whose sins you don't understand?
We are born into sin &
All sins are the same in the eyes of God.
"Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God?
Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who who
worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes,
or practice homosexuality, or are theives, or greedy people,
or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people–
none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
So I ask you, are you guilty of not loving your neighbor as yourself?
Don't judge someone just because they sin differently than you do.
KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL EQUAL BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SINNERS.
Though we aren't made to ENCOURAGE sin,
We are made to LOVE one another.
Jesus sacraficed His life for you,
not because He HAD to,
but because He WANTED to.
..because He LOVED you.
Have you loved a sinner today?
