Many people these days have confused the Gospel or rather just look at it from the human perspective. We try to say God is this or God is that and we place unnecessary rules upon our lives to "please Our loving Father in heaven." But the Bible clearly states, God is Love "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" (1 John 4:8).
We being humans cannot understand this love, we place this heavenly love into the same category of love that we express. But far be it from that, this love that the Bible speaks of is the Agape Love, which mean unconditional love. It's far beyond our knowledge to comprehend such a love because we being mere humans express love with prejudice. We love those who are good to us, we love anything that captures our attention and we love those who love us back. But the moment anyone hurts us, that love changes into bitterness or even hate in some cases. Inorder to understand this Agape Love we must turn to the Bible, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
This is the love of God, while we were still hurting Him, when we knew Him not, while we went around doing as we please, stealing, swearing, hurting one another, disobeying our parents; He loved us. Not only did He love us, He gave to us His one and only Son, this is message of the Gospel. This is what God expects from us, to love Him, nothing more, nothing less. If Jesus loved us while we were sinners, than how can He ever stop loving us, Jesus loves at all times. If we understand this secret, than there will never come a moment in our lives where we will experience loneliness, sadness or any sort of pain because we know that God loves us and He will bring us through. I will leave the verse which inspired me this day :
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending His Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in Him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust Him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.
