The Depth of God’s Love

 “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:6-8

Who’s willing to die for you?

Probably not a question you would ask many people.

But my guess is, the list is likely shorter than we think.

I’m not talking about those who say they would.

As they say – talk is cheap.

But a life isn’t!

Who would actually surrender their own life so that you could have yours?

Maybe when we truly take the time to consider that question on a very personal level do the verses above take on a greater weight?

We realize that God is not all talk.

His words “I love you!” took action through His one and only Son.

Maybe, just maybe, it will make you stop and think about how much God loves and values you.

Have you had thoughts of worthlessness?

God never has toward you.

Your life and His Sons’ life mean far too much to Him.

Have you been entertaining thoughts that are clearly not Gods’ concerning you?

Know that God came to us in the flesh and laid down His life for you.

Not for someone else – for you.

The next time you are tempted to think of yourself less than God does remember just exactly the price that was paid to give you life.

God loves you beyond any words I can put to paper!
