God's Grace and Love

God’s Grace and Love
C. S. Lewis wrote,
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”  C.S. Lewis.
Jesus referring to himself said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
 but to save the world through him.” 
                                                  John 3:16,17.
The apostle Paul wrote,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
Christians believe that we are all sinners and that sin separates us from God. That is why Jesus came to this earth to demonstrate God’s love for us. To show us in human terms how far God would go to reconcile each individual to himself.
C. S. Lewis stated,
“He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.” C.S. Lewis.
Christians believe it is by the grace of God, through faith in Him, that we get to heaven,
The apostle Paul tells us,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
 not by works, so that no one can boast.”  
                                                      Ephesians 2:8,9
Christians believe the words of the Apostle John who wrote,
“If we confess our sins, 
he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins 
and purify us from all unrighteousness.”  
                                        1 John 1:9.
Please think about it.
