Love to the uttermost!

It’s amazing to me how we tend to reject or fear someone who is actually trying to help you. We see this in humans as well as animals. As an example, a mother will tell her son to be careful about something, and the son will ignore the mother and run headlong into the danger she was trying to keep him from. Another example is if you try to help an animal that is caught in a snare, or some kind of trap. Even though you want to help him to get out to the trap, they will bite you if you get close enough. God’s word is not trying to hurt humanity. God’s word reveals the kindest, most loving actions and instructions  in all of history. Yet, so many mock God’s word, they reject God’s word, they say God is out to destroy them. Yet, nothing can be further from the truth. The Lord Jesus on the cross is the greatest picture of God’s love. Humanity is already in a snare and trap of sin and death, and God is calling out to us all…..be reconciled with Him. He will receive you with open arms. He will remove you from the snare of sin and death. He will restore you to relationship with Him. He will save you to the uttermost. He will adopt you into His own family. Be wise and turn to the one who loves you like no one else can.

Proverbs 13: 13, 14 – “He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death”.
