The greatest of all of the problems in becoming a christian is coming to understand nd believe God's strange kind of lov
|

@celestan | 11 January 14 |
|
His love is vasty different than any other kind of love we know in human circles.God's lov is in a class all by itself.
|

|
|
@celestan | 11 January 14 |
|
it is completely unique.But God demonstrates his own lov toward us,in that while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us

Your Father who is in heaven;for causes His sun to rise on the evil nd the good,nd sends rain on the righteous

and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.For if yu love those who love yu,what reward have you?

Do not even the tax gatherers do the same?And if you greet your brother only,what do you do more than others?

Here Jesus speaks of the usual way in which we love.If someone is good to us than we love him.
|

|
If someone treats us badly than we hate him.Now,God's love is entirely different for HE love us in spite of what we do.

The real problem that we have in understanding the love of God is the fact that in human relationships we are taught
|
||
|
|
@celestan | 11 January 14 |
|
we are taught that we must earn a person's love for us.we must make somebody love us by being attractive,or nice,or
|
||
|
|
@celestan | 11 January 14 |
|
Or pretty,or noble,obedient,nd we are fully conviced that if we aren't nice,noble,or obedient,nd we no one wil love us

Unfortunately even some of our parents have taught us this.if we naughty when we were children thy would tell us
|
||
|
|
@celestan | 11 January 14 |
|
Thy could no longer love us.if we were good than we would earn their love.we must come to understand that God doesn't
|

@celestan | 11 January 14 |

God doesn't operate that way.He loves us in spite of what we are.He doesn't love us merely if we are nice looking,noble
|
||
|
|
@celestan | 11 January 14 |
|
or kind,or if we go to church.He loves us apart from what we do nd apart from how we look.

It is this tremendous fact which is so difficult to accept nd believe.But it is also this tremendous fact that gives us

But it is this tremendous fact that gives us peace and joy once we have accepted it and believe it.
