Transformation 6
realize who we are and the love of
God towards us, we will not be
filled with the fullness of God. We
will lack his fullness in our lives
until we come to know his deep
love for us. Knowing the love of
Christ towards us will enable us to
act a lot more different than we
do.
We fail for lack of knowledge.
Many of us have been deceived
into believing that God loves us for
our works and so to gain His love
or to be loved more, we
concentrate on the works. Yet we
forget that even before we came to
Christ, He still loved us. We are
already loved and accepted and we
ought to love God as He has loved
us. When we love God
unconditionally, we serve Him out
of love. True service to God and
humanity must be borne out of
love. God comes first and so our
love for Him must be a priority.
Understanding who we are in Christ
and His love for us will help us do
with religion and perfection
even as we serve Him. It
will also keep us grounded
no matter what happens.
This life can throw anything
our way and when this
happens, we are bound to
doubt God and His love for
us, but when we are secure
in Christ and have been
made perfect in His love,
nothing will prevail against
us.
That is why I am
suffering as I am.
Yet this is no
cause for shame,
because I know
whom I have
believed, and am
convinced that
he is able to
guard what I
have entrusted to
him until that
day (2 Timothy
1:12).
