YOU ARE SO IMPORTANT TO HIM
Since the fall of Adam and Eve and their
subsequent expulsion from the garden of Eden in
other words the Paradise “as a result of their sin,
the way for man to regain that place was closed.
God’s original plan for man was to live forever as
He also lives forever. But sin came in through
Satan and robbed man from the best place God
made for human beings. However, God did not
give up on man because of His love for man He
created in His own image and likeness. Like a
caring and loving Father, God made another plan
whereby sinful man might regain what he lost in
Eden. In His attribute of magnanimity God
carried out His plan before the foundation of the
world to send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ
to die for our sins, to represent us and bear the
judgment which the sinful man deserved so that
we might regain what we lost.
The sacrifices that were made in Judaism were
not able to meet divine requirements for the sins
of man. It was just only done as a prototype of
God’s plan of the ages to save man. “But when
the fullness of the time had come, God sent
forth His Son, born of a woman under the law, to
redeem those who were under the law, that we
might receive the adoption as sons” (Gal. 4:4,5).
The law requires that a will become effective
after the death of the person who made the will.
That was why Jesus had to die and shed His
blood for the new covenant ratification so that
those who believe might have eternal life through
His death. Moses gave the law but Jesus
brought grace for the sinful man to get saved by
grace through faith (Jn 1:15-17, Eph. 2:8,9).
ROMANS 8:34 NRS 34 Who is to condemn? It is
Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised,
who is at the right hand of God, who indeed
intercedes for us.
The devil would love for us all to doubt that God
loves us. But when you look at the sacrifice of
Jesus at Calvary, it is undeniable.
God loves you!
And He proved it!
ROMANS 5:8 NRS 8 But God proves his love for
us in that while we still were sinners Christ died
for us.
ROMANS 8:32 NRS 32 He who did not withhold
his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will
he not with him also give us everything else?
Sometimes it's easy to be tempted to think God
does not care.
But if God was just interested in judging and
condemning you, why would He go through the
suffering of Calvary?
Being crucified is one of the worst forms of
torture and death ever devised. Jesus willingly
suffered all that for you, so you could go free,
and avoid the suffering you deserved.
Someone who was willing to do that for you,
would never hurt you.
SAY THIS: Because of His great love for me,
Jesus suffered and died for me. So I can trust
Him.
