God’s love for you is unconditional, eternal and perfect. He’s not going to love you more when you get to heaven than He already does today. The Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8. Consequently, there’s nothing you could do today, having been born again, that will make God love you more or less, for His love for you is perfect, and you can’t improve on perfect.
Why am I
sharing this with you today? It’s so you can have faith and confidence in the
father’s unconditional love for you. He didn’t
love you because you were so holy and never did anything wrong; He loves you because
that’s His nature! When you’re conscious and confident of the Father’s love for
you, your faith will be more productive, for faith works by love Galatians 5:6.
More so, there’s no fear in love, for perfect love casts out fear 1John
4:18.
When some
Christians make mistakes they find it difficult to accept that God would
forgive them. So even after asking for forgiveness, out of ignorance, they
think God still holds their sin against them, and as a result, some have lost
faith and have even stopped going to church altogether. If you’re in such a
situation you need to understand who god is; He is not a man, and doesn’t count
your sins against you because He loves you unconditionally.
Think about
it: if God so loved you while you were yet a sinner, and sent Jesus to die for
you, how much more will he shower His love on you now that you’ve received
abundance of grace and His wonderful gift of righteousness Romans 5:17? Therefore,
instead of wishing something wrong, just receive His forgiveness and continue
in your journey of faith! 1 John 1:9says, “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
You need
to understand how God deals with His children when they make mistakes. A man
might impose strict penalties on an offender, but God totally blots out all
records of your wrongs when you receive His forgiveness Isaiah 1:18. He holds nothing
against you. In fact, to Him, you never did anything wrong; you’re as perfect
as Jesus is because your righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
