God Is Love
By Tammy Lacock
This week, Warren Litzman takes us deep into the heart of God by the very sacrifice of His Son Jesus.
God is Love. It’s in His nature to act in pure love. He knew, even before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) that the only way to reconcile us to Him after our continued falling away by the curse of Adam is through a pure act of love.
“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.” (John 3:16)
God paid the price as ransom so that our cursed and sinful natures would be exchanged by Christ’s nature. Through the perfect sacrifice of His Son at the Cross, God now has the right, according to His nature, to place Christ—God’s very seed and eternal life—in every believer. God paid His highest price for us, to bring us back into reconciliation with Him and to the life He originally intended for us, a life in Christ. God’s perfect plan of love was finished at the Cross and is now manifesting through Christ in the believing sinner.
In Christ, we are now free in a world that wants to keep our minds set in bondage. The Apostle Paul tells us that, by the help of the Holy Spirit, our minds must be renewed to our new life in Christ if we are ever to fully live who God created us to be. As His bona fide sons and daughters, we must now get to know the Christ that lives in us if we are ever to fully understand the boundless, unwavering, and unconditional love of our Heavenly Father.
