To be loved by someone whom you also love is the best feeling that we can experience in this life. But how about you knowing someone who loves you even you don't have the capacity to love Him back?
What would you feel if you heard someone keeps on loving you even to the point of giving His own life just to prove His love for you, even you don't deserve it?
That is the exact scenario when Christ gave His own life for us so that we can have a meaningful and wonderful life eternally. We are all sinners, deserve death and hell but Christ came to save us. He came so that we can be reconcile to God and experience eternal salvation.
One of the famous verse in the Bible is found in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." This verse proved how much God loved us so much. He loved us even we are nothing, we are just humans and nothing is special about us and yet God gave His Son Jesus Christ to show His love for us. He offers us salvation, all we need to do is to believe in God and accept Him us our Lord and Savior.
Who are we to be loved by a perfect God? We are worthless, deserves nothing but eternal damnation. But God is so good that He rescued us. We don't deserved it but He gave His own life for us. And that is enough reason for us to serve Him and give our lives for Him.
We are unconditionally loved by God so as our response to that kind of love, we must also love Him and live for Him. We love because He first loved us. He initiated it all..
May is article become a reminder to all of us that someone loved us unconditionally. We don't need to beg for love because God, the Creator of heaven and earth demonstrated His love for us by saving us from hell. All we have to do is accept that love. And if we truly unsdertand that love, we will start loving Him back!
