Ever wondered how much God loves you?\u00a0
You can find out\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Think about writing down every sin you have ever committed – everything. Every time you have lied, every time you have dishonoured your parents. Every time you have put yourself before God or others, every time you have lusted \/ fornicated, every time you have been angry at someone\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now think about how serious those sins are to God: He *HATES* all sin. It is grotesque to Him. Think of how angry He should be at you for sinning, deliberately ignoring and going against the very One who gave you life!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Knowing you deserve punishment, death & hell, knowing you would sin against Him, did He torture you? Did He condemn you? Does He hate you?\u00a0<\/p>\n
NO! Instead, He sends His Son, Jesus, to earth to live sin-free, to be rejected, tortured & killed to pay for *your* sin!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now THAT is love!\u00a0<\/p>\n
#thankYouJesus\u00a0<\/p>\n
