Unconditional Acceptance — Love It!
Synopsis ►
God’s promise to Abraham was outrageous; nevertheless, Abraham believed. And God chalked it up to him as righteousness. Believing and understanding God’s love for us is an act of faith. Who doesn’t actually think he or she is absolutely unlovable? But God loves us more than we can comprehend! And what does that mean? God’s love goes beyond anything you’ve done or been. Without qualification. Unconditional. In fact, God is defined as Love. That means that in the Day of Judgment, we can have boldness, confidence. What would a lake have to fear from a flood? Or an ember have to fear from a raging fire? Because Christ became like us and joined us to God, we believers contain God within us. As He is, so are we. And why would we fear the God who is inside us? Or why would we despise a fellow Christian who also has God inside? We don’t have to look far to find God; the person sitting next to you has God inside!
