TEXT: JOHN 15:13
“Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. “
GOD is love according to 1John
4:8. If GOD is love, then how can you measure how much HE loves us? You cannot
measure the love that GOD has for human being; HE loves us so much that HE sent
HIS only begotten SON to die for our own sins. HIS son had to die for our sins
because only blood can cleanse us from sin; that is why during the Old
Testament. HE made provisions for HIS people to offer animals as sacrifices to
remit their sins, but this will only make people to have self-righteousness
believing in their wealth whenever they have sinned because they could easily
afford to provide animals for sacrifices for their sins, this certainly could
not bring man to the purpose that GOD has for man (which is to fellowship with
HIM) so GOD made a better provision by sending HIS only begotten SON JESUS
CHRIST, to be the final sacrifice for our sins, even for generations to come
(if JESUS tarries) HE came to die for you and me, so that we may have eternal
life with HIM in heaven. HE said HE has gone to prepare a place for us so that
where HE is we may be also in John 14:3. It is necessary for us to be cleansed
from our sins because GOD wants to always have fellowship with us, but sinful
people cannot go into HIS presence, Psalm 24:3-4 says “Who shall ascend into
the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean
hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn
deceitfully. “So only those that have clean hands and pure hearts
can have true fellowship with GOD.
We need to have fellowship with
GOD always because the Bible said in Psalm16:11 that “ Thou wilt shew me the
path of life: in thy presence is
fulness of joy; at thy right hand there
are pleasures for evermore.” There is joy and pleasure in the
presence of GOD. To stay in the presence of GOD just stay away from things that
will make you to be sinful, stay away from all sins and GOD will stay with you.
If you know that you need the presence of GOD, but you have never
given your life to CHRIST in order to accept HIM as the Lamb of GOD that has
made Himself a sacrifice for all. Please do so now by clicking this link.
