There are so many clichés when it comes to love – but so many of them are absolutely true!
“All you need is love”
“Love makes the world go ‘round”
“Love is all you need”
Of course, I could go on and on, but the fact is that all of these statements are true, because true Love comes straight from the Heart of God. The Love that Christ brought to this earth is powerful enough to save every one of us. In God’s Love there is no sin, no shame, no heartache, no lies, no sorrow – these are all impossible in His Love!
The Love of Christ was so strong it drove the very Son of God to leave His Throne and live like a peasant. His Love led directly to the Cross of Calvary – to willingly submit to torture and shame. More than that – so much more than we can ever understand – His Love was strong enough t bear the very Wrath of His Father in Heaven – the Wrath that was stored up and earned by each and every one of us. But He loved us too much to let us get what we had earned. He took it all upon Himself, though none of it was owed to Him.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:7)
