Love in Action

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten  Son into the world, that we migt live through him. 1 John 4:9

Love isn't just a feeling: love must be expressed in action. If it isn't, we don't have any reason to believe that love to be genuine, no matter how much that person claims it is.

Likewise, God's love is not just a vague feeling or sentimental emotion hidden in His heart. God's love is real--and we know it because He demonstrated it to us. He put His love into action! Do you want to know if God loves you? Here is the proof: Jesus Christ left Heaven's glory and came down to this sin-infested Earth to die for you. Paul put it this way: "For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:7-8).

Have you been tempted to doubt God's love for you? Don't doubt it any longer, but look instead at Christ and the cross. There you will see God's love poured out for you.
