Experiencing God's Unconditional Love

God loves you unconditionally. He has always loved you, and He will love you forever. His love for you has no boundaries. He loves you just as you are, just as He made you. Even if you see yourself as a failure, even if you've completely rejected God, God does not love you any less because of that. God is love.

A father doesn't love his child because the child does great things. He loves his child because it is his child.

Even if a child makes a big mess of things, a father still loves the child because it is his child. We as human parents can love our children despite their mistakes. Won't God who created us love us even more? God wants nothing more than for you to experience His love. His passion is for you to have a personal relationship with Him and to give you a purpose and meaning in your life.

So, you might ask yourself, why then is life so difficult? And if God is love, why don't I feel it?

God loves us with all of His heart. But we don't always experience His love because we ignore Him. We look for meaning and purpose in life but apart from Him. We don't trust God. We disobey His rules. Living life your own way is what the Bible calls sin. The Bible says that all of us have sinned and that we have lost the glory that God created us with.

Sin damages our relationships and it ruins our lives – all chance of us living together and getting along with people long term.

Sin separates us from the kind of life that God has intended for us to have. The Bible says that sin is like a wall and it cuts us off from God and makes Him turn away. But is there anything that we can do about it?

Our sins and our mistakes don't keep God from loving us. But there is no way that we can come to God based on our own works or achievements. God has a solution for our sin. He came to earth as a human being, Jesus Christ. The Bible says that Christ Jesus suffered when He died for the sin of every person.

He never sinned, not once, but He died for all of us sinners, once and for all, to bring us back to God.

Jesus became the scapegoat for us all. Jesus died, but He came back to life and He reconciled us with God and restored the relationship to God. If we choose to believe God, then we are able to experience His love and also receive eternal life with Him. That is why it is written in the Bible that “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.”

Because God did that, everyone who believes in Him will not lose his life, but will live with Him forever. So, what does that mean for us?

God did everything to show us how much He loves us. And He offers us a fulfilled and an eternal life. We can experience this kind of life if we entrust ourselves to Jesus. The Bible says that God gave all those who received and believed in him the right to become children of God.

All that we have to do is pray and ask God to forgive us for doing things our own way. Jesus says, “I am the Light of the world. Anyone who comes with me will never walk in the dark, but will have light that gives life.” How will you respond to God's offer? What will you choose? All it takes is a simple prayer. You can ask God to forgive your sins and come into your life.

Is there anything stopping you from asking? If you want to, you can pray with me right now.

“Dear God, thank you for loving me. I realize that I have lived my life without You until now. I'm really very sorry for that. Jesus Christ, thank you for forgiving my sin, and sorry that I've lived my life my own way. Thank You that You died for me and that You rose from the dead. I want to trust You, and I ask You to come into my life, be my Savior and my Lord. Let me experience Your love and Your good intentions for my life. I thank You. Amen.”
