FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD AND HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, ...
So therefore, Gos gave himself in the incarnation
Which makes his intention stand so
God is not looking for someone to give, He didn't expect a sacrifice from man, He gave his Son because of us
In the old testament, the Fathers lived in ignorance but yet, the scripture makes us to understand that righteousness are accounted to those whose faith rests on the promise of God intention
And they waited for the redemption, Christ will bring
Psalm 25:5 KJV
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Psalm 25:5 KJV
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Psalm 88:1-4 KJV
O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: [2] Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; [3] For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. [4] I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
So we could see that, they are all waiting for the salvation of God
Which is the love of God to men
But they couldn't see it
So therefore, the scripture is being revealed in the resurrection of Christ
What the old testament folks awaited is what the believers had received today
The incarnation of God is not the work of man but it was God fulfilling his intention in him
Romans 5:8 KJV
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God commended his love toward us
Died for us when we were yet sinners
He love so he gave himself for us
The mindset of man is foolishness unto God
Paul said, Timothy was wise through him knowing the SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST
It can't be anymore than this
The essence of the scripture is the love of God on christ
And for you to know more about God, you look at Jesus
Whoever claim to know God and not glorying Jesus is like an unbeliever who needs to be saved
Romans 6:22-23 KJV
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. [23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
God's love doesn't look at what you do , it is center on what he has done for you
Matthew 5:44 KJV
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
The love of God doesn't pronounce curses, he blessed the cursed and blessed those who curses
So we see that, God doesn't have issue with Man but rather want man to be free
Galatians 3:13 KJV
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
He redeemed us from the curse of the law
Through his resurrection
So this same love is what we have
The love of God is not in the feelings, emotions of man, its the love of God and it can only be known in Christ
1 John 4:10-11 KJV
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
God didn't pronounce his love to things; money, cars, numbers of children, houses, etc his love is pronounced to the believers in Christ
1 Corinthians 2:1 KJV
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
Paul said, he didn't come to tell about excellency of speech or of wisdom
He did declared the testimony of God in this
1 Corinthians 2:4 KJV
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
He did so in spirit and power
Which is in Christ
John 10:28-30 KJV
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one.
So the love of God is not revealed in things, it is revealed in the person of Jesus
In his death burial and resurrection
Whoever is found in this love, forever abounds there
Not of his doing but of the doing of who has put him there
So brethren, understand the love of God today, that Christ is the love of God and you cant understand God outside Jesus
