Title: Love shown like this/(1 John 4:9~10)
Content Mexico with a better natural environment
Countries in South America, such as Peru and Chile, are incomparably poorer and lagging behind the United States. Historians say that the reason is because America was a land of love and gratitude built by people who came in search of freedom of religion, and South America was a land of greed built by people who came to see them with a dream of making money.
Love breeds gratitude, and gratitude breeds happiness. Therefore, love is a precious thing that determines human happiness, and so man instinctively wants and seeks love.
If you go to the obstetrics and gynecology nursery, you can see thousands of children through the windows. An investigation at a hospital found that the child at the door was healthier than the others. This is because the nurses naturally paid more attention to the children at the door as they came in and out. You can see that love is life. Without love, the spark of life fades.
In verse 9 we read today, we can know the true love that becomes our life. Let's summarize this verse 9. Let's start from the end.
1. Jesus said that He came to save us.
2. That Jesus is the only begotten son of God, that is, the only begotten Son.
3. God's love for us was proved through Jesus.
Let's rearrange it.
He said that because God loves me, he sent his son Jesus to this earth. Then how can I believe that fact and admit it to be true? Clear and convincing evidence would have to be practically mine.
That is, if you believe in Jesus, you will experience that life comes to life, and this fact proves and makes you known that God loves you. Why? Because Jesus was sent by God to save me. Because he came to make my life healthy and strong.
Even the bloody children placed in the doorway of the newborn room are said to be healthier and stronger than other children by receiving one more glance and touch from the nurses who go in and out to save themselves. Jesus said that he came to save us. Believe me, if I'm with Jesus, wouldn't it be natural for me to live? Jesus came to this earth "only for that work" to love us. The love of Jesus has the power to save us. It has the power to enrich our lives. If you believe in Jesus, you will have hope to live even when there is no reason to do so, and this is the reason why peace and joy overflow in your heart.
People's love is easy to start and break easily, but the love of God, the Creator, is not shaken by anything. He loves us unconditionally. Because He did not love us because of our condition or our excellence
Even if our conditions change and we become humble, God's love does not waver.
Shall we all read verse 10 together? “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that God loved us and sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.”
First of all, it is God who loves us.
He did not start to love when we lived a clean life and no sin, even a little, but He loved me from the time when we could only think of ourselves as sinners. Therefore, even if red pepper powder gets on my teeth in the future, God's love will never waver.
At the end of verse 10, there is a saying that He sent His Son as a “peace offering.”
God sent Jesus to this earth as a sacrifice for reconciliation. God sent His Son, Jesus, to have a reconciled relationship with us, and he made it known to people diligently for three years, and then he died.
