THE ULTIMATE LOVE

Message from the Altar 25/12/2020
THE ULTIMATE LOVE
TEXT: JOHN 3:16-18
16.”God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.
17.God did not send his son to the world to condemn it’s people. He sent him to save them!
18.No one who has faith in God’s son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn’t have faith in him has already being condemned for not having faith in God’s only son. (CEV)

   The above verses of the Holy Bible refer to Jesus Christ, God incarnate. When man sinned in the garden of Eden through disobedience he became disconnected from God and faced eternal damnation as punishment for his disobedience. Every effort of man to reconnect with God could only achieve temporary reprieve as Satan held man captive and dominated his affairs as he groped in hellish darkness. 

“The law says that almost everything must be sprinkled with blood, and, no sins can be forgiven unless blood is offered.” Hebrews 9:22
So, man offered blood of animals as sacrifice for the atonement of sins but the exercise fell short of Divine requirement.
But, God loved the people of this world so much that He had mercy on them by sending the sinless Christ to redeem, once and for all times, the sinful man. Jesus Christ, the lamb of God came as the light to show the way to God. He suffered death on the cross for our sins. He accomplished the work of redemption. When we believe in Him, we are freed from our sins and saved from eternal damnation.
Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and will come again to gather to His Kingdom those who believe in Him; those that are delivered from eternal judgement.
There is no other way to escape eternal damnation than to have faith in Jesus Christ redemptive work; accept him as Lord and saviour; and be obedient to his commandments.
Surrender your life wholeheartedly to the Way, the Truth, the Light, the Word and the Lamb of God– Jesus Christ.
As the world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, we must bear in mind that ultimate love forms the basis of our relationship with God. God forgave us because of His great love for us. We must learn to forgive and love one another even as Jesus Christ laid down his life in sacrificial love.
Merry Christmas to you all. May we be rapturable, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
