LOVED BEYOND REASONS



Text: "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved US, "(VS. 4 NKJV)

COMMENTARY

Romans 6:23 tells us, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Similarly, Romans 3:23 reminds us, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Simply put, our sinful nature means we are destined for death.

Ephesians 2:1 makes this even clearer: "You were once dead in your sins and trespasses, but God made you alive." Even though we were rebellious, disobedient, arrogant, and sinful, God’s mercy still reached us.

By nature, we were spiritually dead—separated from Him by our sin. But instead of leaving us in our guilt and shame, God chose to give us life. He did this by offering up His own Son, shedding His precious blood on our behalf. We, who deserved judgment, were instead given love and redemption. Through Jesus' sacrifice, our dead nature was exchanged for new life, and because of Him, we can now approach God as holy and righteous.

This is the depth of God’s love—undeserved, unearned, yet freely given. He didn't love us because we were worthy, but because His love knows no bounds.

Before you sleep tonight, ask yourself:

  Are you truly living with the awareness that someone gave their life for yours?

Take a moment to reflect on this amazing grace. 


PRAYER POINTS:

1. Thank You Lord for Your saving grace through the blood of your Only Son.

Dear Lord, keep me in the consciousness that Christ's blood was paid as a ransom for my sin and help me live to glorify you.

3. O! God, let your love overflow in my life and in my family in Jesus name.

Amen.

God's love is so benevolent that it cost Him His own son... what manner of love is this?

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
