When Did God Begin to Love Us?
Romans 5 tells us that God demonstrated His love for us not when we were striving to live righteous lives, but while we were still pursuing sinful ones. If He loved us in that condition, how much more must He love us now that we belong to Christ?
Paul concludes that, through Christ, we now have peace with God, access to His grace, hope in tribulation, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Join us as we welcome Pastor Jake Curtis as he shares with us.
Jesus Christ “descended” and became what no other sacrifice could be; He, the Lamb of God, a the superior and perfect sacrifice for our sin. But even more, He rose to Life and “ascended” back into eternal glory as our superior and perfect Great-High Priest, offering what no other human priest could. He has become our life by offering us new life in Him; He is the LIFE who now sits upon His glorious throne of Grace, calling us to come to Him for all we need!
Through Abraham’s faith, God credited righteousness to him. That same righteousness is given to us when we believe in Jesus, who justifies us.
The promises of God are made certain through faith. Galatians chapter three reminds us that Gentiles who share Abraham’s faith are now considered his children and recipients of God’s promises.
