Loveable

Isaiah 54:10

The mountains and the hills may crumble but My love for you will never end, so says the Lord Who loves you.

Jeremiah 31:3

I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you to Myself with lovingkindness.

John 3:16, 17

For God loved the whole world so much that He sent His only Son into the world so that anyone who puts their trust completely in Him would not perish, but be given eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the whole world could be saved by Him.

John 16:27

Jesus said, The Father, Himself, loves you.

Ephesians 2:4

His great love wherewith He loved us.

No matter who we are, where we are, when we are, what we have done, or haven't done, God loves us. God loves each one of us. The Blood Jesus shed on the altar of His Cross was the Blood of God, with infinite worth, more than enough for every person who ever lived. Every single person is savable, if only they will turn to God and accept His gift. 

The great tragedy is that most of Mankind will not even want to consider that they need a sin sacrifice to die in their place. The most important decision each of us could ever make concerns the over-arching need to take care of our forever. Nothing in this life will ever compare with what will be in the next realm of our existence, either with God or without Him.

God loves what He made, enough to send His own Son to become part of it, to take care of our most pressing need, because He wants us to be with Him. The only way we could be in His presence is to be cleansed and purified, through the only way that "works," the Blood of Christ. 

If you examine your own heart, and you realize that you have never let Jesus be your Sin-Sacrifice, dying in your place; then pray and ask God to grant you in His grace, the gift of saving faith, to place your complete trust in Christ to rescue you from the sin that entangles us all by paying the eternal debt you owe and redeeming you from the slavery of sin.

That's how much God values you and me, and loves us more than we can imagine.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
