God's Love For Us
Devotions:
Of utmost importance in a believer's live is that we become absolutely convinced of the Father's love for us. This is the root and the basis for all that God has done for us and it is the fountainhead for our faith.God's love for us is His eternal commitment to bless us as expressed in the death of His Son, Jesus. on the cross to pay the eternal price for our sins.
Satan caused Adam and Eve to doubt the Father's love for them and that was their sin and thee root of all sin. When Cain killed Able it was because he doubted the Father's love for him. the product of this doubt is selfishness and self centerenness because we are trying to make up for our bankrupt human love instead of relying on God's boundless selfless love.
Even the love of money which the scriptures says is the root of all evil is based on trying to promote ones self by fame and fortune rather than relying of the Father's love, protection and provision. Money, in itself, is empty and hollow. It cannot satisfy nor fulfill but it is necessary to function on this earth and to fulfill the kingdom mandate that we have. But it is not by our own efforts that we succeed but it is God who gives us power to make wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18 our anchor and firm foundation is in God and His love for us in good times and bad.
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:31-32 KJV
