God Loves Each and Every One of Us!!!




***Most of this post has been posted before, but I have to speak out about some things!!!  And this is one of them!!!



What do you say to someone who thinks they are so much better than other people?  Someone who makes it clear that they despise another because that person has sinned!!!


God’s Word says that ALL HAVE SINNED and fallen short of the glory of God!!!



Romans 3:23-24 (CEV)

23 All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.

24 But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins.



Sometimes, I am so flabbergasted!!!  And I am just stunned to see the way in which some folks make their feelings of contempt and hatred of others known.


If you think that you are so much better than everyone else, you will some day be told different!!!  I would hate to walk in your shoes because God has a giant stick pin just waiting to burst your balloon!!!



So, if you say that you have never made a mistake or you think you are better than anyone else, then you need to read THE WORD!!! 



Romans 3:10 (NCV) As the Scriptures say:
    "There is no one who always does what is right, not even one.

 


God loved ALL OF US so much that HE gave us HIS ONE AND ONLY SON as the eternal sacrifice for our sins!!!



John 3:16-18 (NKJV)


16 
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.



I wonder how many people truly understand that God knew exactly how bad this old world was going to get and still HE gave us HIS PRECIOUS SON!!!



And don’t you know that Jesus also knew that HIS GIFT to man was NOT going to be appreciated, but instead it would be reviled!!!


John 3:19-21 (NKJV)


19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”




But even knowing how awful we were and the lives that we would choose to live, God still chose to send HIS ONLY SON to earth to save you and me because that is how much HE LOVES US!!!

John 10:10 (AMP) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).



God loves even the person that we think is the worst sinner or the vilest person!!!  HE loves that person so much, that He would have sent HIS SON to die for their sins, even if he or she was the last person on the face of the earth!!! 


1 John 4:8 (CEB) The person who doesn’t love does not know God, because God is love.



And yet some folks still think that they are better than others, because they haven’t done ALL that another person has done!!!  I haven’t committed the sins that he or she has committed, they think!!!  And sometimes people even go so far as to despise another person because of their sins!!! 


Isaiah 64:6 (NCV) All of us are dirty with sin.
       All the right things we have done are like filthy pieces of cloth.
    All of us are like dead leaves,
       and our sins, like the wind, have carried us away.




God looks at ALL of us with love in HIS EYES!!!  To HIM, we are ALL the same!!!  HE LOVES US ALL!!!  Even those who choose NOT to accept HIS Gift and choose NOT TO REPENT!!!


Romans 3:3-4 (NKJV)

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:
“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”




We are ONLY accepted by God and made right through the BLOOD of Christ!!!  There is nothing more that we can do to become right in God’s sight!!!


Romans 3:22 (NCV) God makes people right with himself through their faith in Jesus Christ. This is true for all who believe in Christ, because all people are the same.



Romans 3:23-26 (CEV)


23 
All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.

24 But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins.

25-26 God sent Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered his life’s blood, so that by faith in him we could come to God. And God did this to show that in the past he was right to be patient and forgive sinners. This also shows that God is right when he accepts people who have faith in Jesus.
