Focus on His Love

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. " (John 3: 16)

and

"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." (1 John 4: 11)

God so loved us. We love because He first loved us (1 John 4: 19)

This love is so great, that it transforms us from dead in our trespasses to alive in Him:

"1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." (1 John 3: 1-3)

and then

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 17)

He loves us with a personal attachment and attention which we must receive by faith:

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!" (Psalm 139: 17)

and

"But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12: 7)

Most importantly, though, this love is expressed for us at the Cross:

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4: 10)

What happened at the Cross? Indeed, Jesus died for our sins. Yet so much more happened:

"13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. " (Colossians 2: 13-15)

Not only did Jesus died for our sins, He died for all of them. Many believers still have an Old Covenant mentality, which presumes that every time we sin, we lose favor and fellowship with God. More than that, we now have life in Him, and Jesus' death has forever annulled the laws and ordinances, the Ten Commandments, which were against us, bringing us into bondage and revealing to us the death in our flesh (Romans 3: 20; 2 Corinthians 3: 7)

Focus on His love for you, and in His love your faith will flow (Galatians 5: 6) and through Him you will receive all beyond what you can ask or even think (Ephesians 3: 20)
