Subject: Expression of God's Love
Verse: John 3:16
Love is the essence of God. And man was created in the image of God. Therefore, human beings essentially pursue love and live. This love cannot be hidden. True love is expressed.
True love is shown in facial expressions, words and actions. Therefore, God's love for man was also expressed outwardly.
All 66 books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation are confessions of God's love for mankind. God is showing how He loved humans through the Bible, which was recorded through 40 people over 1,600 years.
Therefore, it is the most unfortunate if a person does not know this kind of God's love. Also, he does not know the worth of man and does not enjoy the glory of man. So today, I am going to talk about the expression of God's love so that all of you can enjoy happiness in God's love expressed in concrete terms.
First, God's love is expressed through the natural creation and the blessed conditions of life.
In the latter part of Genesis 1:28, God said to man, "Subdue the earth, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth." They will become plants, and like vegetables, I give them all to you.”
God created the heavens and the earth and said, "It was good to see." And God gave humans the heavenly and earthly things that were pleasing in His sight, to rule over them, and to eat. When the God of love loves humans, He expresses that love by putting that love in heaven and earth. Therefore, humans can see, touch, and feel the love of God through all things.
Dear all! All things were not just built. God did not just throw the conditions of life on this earth. It was given as a condition for people to enjoy blessings through them, to live a life of grace, and to create a beautiful, blessed and great life.
Second, God's love was confirmed in the giving of his Son, Jesus Christ.
In John 3:16, “God loved the world so much” does not mean that God loved the earth or society, but that He loved all human beings. God loved all mankind and sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth. Jesus came to this party and took the punishment for all our sins by dying on the cross.
Throughout the Old Testament, it is written, "God will send his Son to die on the cross as a substitute for mankind." It is prophesied that the blood will atone for the above sins and deliver them from eternal damnation and hell judgment.
As the saying goes, 1993 years ago, Jesus Christ came into the world in a human body.
When He came, He bore the punishment in His body, and He showed the love of God by making atonement for our sins with His blood.
God has confirmed his love through Jesus Christ. Therefore, when you call on Jesus Christ, when you think of Jesus Christ, I want you to remember that He is the love of God. And I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will be moved by God's love.
Third, God shows his love through faith nurturing through the church and life in a loving community.
God has established the church and continues to nurture our faith through the church. He nurtures our spiritual and practical lives to be beautiful, blessed, valuable, and great according to God's purpose. So let's bring it to the full dose. And by forming a community of love in the church, we rejoice and grieve together, and we are united in love to manage our lives, thereby showing God's concrete love to humans.
God specifically loves all Christians and people through the church. And by nurturing the saints who have been saved through the church and forming a community of love, He makes them live a life of unity through love.
Also, through the church, God shows God's love by witnessing the gospel to those who do not know God's love.
In Acts 2:42 it is written, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer." And he sold his property and possessions, and gave to each one according to his need.”
Through the apostles of the early church, God taught the saints every day and gave them love so that their spiritual, mental, and environmental lives could be beautiful and blessed. Also, because we all live a community life, God's love has been shown to the saints and all people.
Fourth, God shows his love by working all things together for good.
Romans 8:28 says, "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." God continues to show God's love to all Christians despite the ups and downs and ups and downs of life. In other words, the past, present, future, east, west, south, north, and south are all gathered together and ultimately beneficial.
Dear all!
Don't be discouraged even if you face difficulties in your life's journey. Don't be afraid. God puts all things together so that it works for you for the best. Therefore, I hope you believe that the work of God's love is with you.
God loves people and shows that love concretely. He has enabled us to see, touch, and enjoy God's love through nature and the blessed conditions of life. And he demonstrated that love by sending his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins. In addition, through the church, he realized the life of a community of faith and love so that he could enjoy God's love. Finally, God showed God's love by making all things work together for good.
Therefore, dear saints!
Now, I hope you enjoy all the conditions and blessings that God gives us through nature and the environment. May you receive grace through the love of Jesus Christ. I hope you will actively receive, share, and testify to the love given through the church. And I pray in the name of the Lord that you go out believing that God will give you the best results, without being anxious or discouraged when you are faced with various things.
