Let us love
The apostle Paul writes,
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John4: 7-10.
God loved us so much He sent his one and only son to take away all our sins. In the Gospel of John we read Jesus speaking of himself saying,
"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 .
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.
The apostle Paul writing to the Romans wrote,
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23,24.
Sin is falling short of Gods ideals for our life. And we all sin. Thus we need to confess our sins to God.
The apostle John writes,
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." 1John 1:9-10.
Especially if you claim to be a Christian. A true follower of Christ Jesus we need to confess our sins directly to God.
Are you doing this?
