God's amazing Love
It is easier to say that you will do something than to actually do it. We say we love someone, but when we express love through sacrifice and proven actions, that is when we communicate something truly beautiful.
In 1 John, John explains that God loved us before we paid any attention to Him. In fact, we did not love God. God proved His love for us. He displayed His love in the ultimate sacrifice. God sent His son to live and die as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
We did not even realize we needed His love or His sacrifice.
But commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us - Romans 5:8 (KJV)
Not only did He sacrifice His life for us, He calls us His “friends”. Amazing love, how can it be, that you my King would die for me?
