Love of Jesus Christ

-

The Love of Jesus Christ is the perfect example of true and unconditional love. 

1. Sacrificial Love: Jesus' love is sacrificial because he laid down his life for us so we could experience salvation. Jesus willingly gave up his life on the cross to atone for the sins of Humanity. Self-sacrifice exemplifies the highest form of love.

2. Unconditional Love: The Bible teaches that Jesus' love is not dependent on human merit or goodness. It is a love extended to all, regardless of their past mistakes or shortcomings.

3. Forgiveness: Jesus encouraged his followers to forgive others, just as they have been forgiven. The act of forgiving is seen as an expression of love, mirroring the forgiveness offered by Jesus.

4. Compassion and Mercy: The Gospels depict Jesus as a compassionate and merciful man. His interactions with people, especially those who were marginalized or considered sinners, exemplify a love that extends beyond societal boundaries.

5. Relationship with God: The love of Jesus is often connected to the relationship between believers and God. Jesus is seen as the bridge between humanity and God, and through his love, people can experience a restored and meaningful relationship with the divine.


One of the key verse that express the essential feature of the love is John 3:16 (NIV): "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

In this verse, the depth of God's love is expressed through the gift of Jesus, highlighting the transformative and eternal nature of his love. By accepting the love of Jesus, individuals can experience spiritual redemption and eternal life.

The Obedient Life

A few days ago, I was at my uncle's house. At night, during our family prayer, he asked my aunt to read Deuteronomy 28:1–14 and pray through it. As I listened, that night I began meditating deeply on those verses—and what truly caught my heart wasn’t just the blessings. It was the condition:   “If you fully obey the Lord your God…” (Deut 28:1) Only one thing God asked for — obedience. And in return, 14 verses full of blessings. That night, I realized: God is not asking us to chase blessings, He’s asking us to walk in obedience.The blessings follow automatically. Today, many people want to be the head, not the tail… blessed in the city and the field… enemies fleeing… but forget the root of it all: a heart that says “Yes, Lord.” Once, my dad told me that obedience is not about being perfect—it’s about trusting God enough to follow Him. It’s easy to sacrifice things for God, but it’s much harder to obey Him in the small, daily things. But remember: “Obedience is better than sacrifice....

GOD IS ABLE

Is God able to do all things? YES! My God is Able to do all things. "God is able" emphasizes God's limitless power and ability to accomplish what seems impossible.  The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, declares that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. His power knows no bounds, and He works within us to accomplish His purposes. Refer Ephesians 3:20 for it. Moses personally experienced God's Ability. When faced with the Red Sea, seemingly trapped between the water and the Egyptian army, God miraculously parted the sea, allowing the Israelites to cross safely ( Exodus 14:21-22 ). Moses saw that God was indeed able. We should be totally dependent on GOD . On our own, we can achieve very little ( John 15:5 ). However, when we trust in God, we gain access to power beyond our comprehension ( 1 Chronicles 29:12 ). If you're burdened, remember that God can carry your load ( Matthew 11:28-30 ). Remember always that He can make us s...

The Fruit of the Spirit

-
The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self- control (Galatians 5:22-23). Against such things there is no law. In Galatians 5:22, the phrase “fruit of the Spirit” refers to the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul states the following nine gifts that result for true repentance, turning away from our sinful towards love for God. 1. Love : "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." - John 13:34 Love is the foundation of all virtues. Treat others with selfless and sacrificial love. 2. Joy : "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" - Philippians 4:4 Find your joy in a relationship with God that transcends circumstances. 3. Peace : "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27 Trust in God's sovereignty and find peac...
