A God of Love
When was the last time you made a list of your favorite things and you put ‘maggots’ at the top of the list? I can’t say I have ever claimed maggots to be my favorite thing.
In comparison to God, we are no more than maggots. We are slimy and gross, covered in sin and hideous to look upon in the eyes of a perfect God. How is it then that our perfect God has placed us slimy and hideous humans on the top of His list? He has even placed us just lower than the angels. Why? Because He loves us. He loves us so mucht hat He became one of us to save us from our sinful selves.
Romans 3:23 says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and Romans 6:23 says that the wages of sin is death. The only way to save us from having to die, is for an innocent man to give himself as a sacrifice. No man is perfect, only God is. God loves us so much that h became a man and sacrificed Himself for us. It is His gift of love to us. Death is the result of sin, but God loves us so much that he wants us to live eternally with Him. Ou God is a God of love. He paid our price.
“For God so loved the world he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever should believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
