Easter is on Sunday. It is a time that many reflect on the life,death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What a price He paid over 2000 years ago. God has given us a gift card. It will never expire. It will never reach its limit for it limitless. It is secured and sealed by the signature of His Spirit. We did not have to apply or qualify for this card it has a gift that transcends reasoning and qualifications. We just have to come and receive the gift that has our name on it. Jesus Christ our example of unconditional love has given us access to this Free gift through His eternal payment of His blood.
What is this gift? It is the gift of love. It is the source of life in the midst of death. It is the root of joy when our hearts have been filled with bitterness. The Love of God passeth all knowledge. The Love to lay down a guiltless life for the guilty. A Love that redeemed the unredeemable. A Love that satisfied the wages of my sins.
The Gift of Love is ours but will we accept it? Will we live to love or will we love to live? Our opportunity to live and use this Gift is in our hands. It has been entrusted to us, to give to others. Let us lay down our lives and be resurrected through His Love. He has given us so much let us give His Gift back to Him. Let us love one another. Let the Love of God dwell in our hearts. It is time to let go and Let God into our wallets, into our minds, into our hearts. He has a great purpose for all of us and it is to love one another as Christ has loved us. It is time to pull this gift out and use it. God bless you.
17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19
4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:4-5,8
11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:11-13
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. I John 4:7-12
