Demonstrations and Declarations

ROMANS 5:8 God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet still sinners, Christ died for us.

God gave a demonstration proving He loves all men when Jesus died a cruel death on a cross for the sins of all mankind.

Jesus showed that He loves each one of us more than He loves Himself. Jesus gave His life to redeem the world. What more could He do?

Many people have a distorted view of God. The true picture of God's nature is that He loves all the people of the world so much, He was willing to suffer unto death for everyone's freedom.

There are passages in 2 Corinthians 5 that says that He died for all, and we should no longer live to our own way of thinking , but even to live as Him Who died for us all, and rose again.

We should no longer see men according to the flesh
[Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for we are all one in Christ Jesus]

Therefore if a man lives in Christ, he has become a new creation; the old ways of thinking have been put aside, and our ways of seeing things becomes totally new.

Those same scriptures also say:

All things are of God, He has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of declaring to the world this reconciliation.

God was in Christ, reconciling this world back unto Himself, not imputing our trespasses against us and He has committed us to share this word of reconciliation with all men.

Thanks Anita!

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ
for it is the power of God to salvation. Romans 1:16

God's Word, which is all about Jesus Christ, can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves...from God comes the incredible, limitless power that can transform our lives.

Excellent post!!
