All because of His Love for us!

Good Morning! Mark 3:28-29 "I tell you the truth, all sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." now we all know that, that sin that God cannot forgive is that of someone that deliberately rejects the Holy Spirits witness that Jesus is the Savior. Basically saying you don't believe in Him. But today I want to concentrate on the beginning of the Vs. The Good News that through Jesus all our sins and blasphemes will be forgiven. Why is this? It is because of Gods great Mercy. Which in turn is caused by Gods great Love for us. It is an Everlasting Love that cannot ever be measured. In Jeremiah 31:3 God tells us, I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness. The Bible is the revelation of the fact that God is Love and His Love for us. When the Word tells us of justice, it is justice tempered by love. When it preaches righteousness, it is righteousness founded on love. Now here's the good one. When it preaches atonement for sin, it is atonement necessitated because of love, provided by love and furnished by love. You see God loves us so much that He gave His only Son to die for us. (John 3:16) That is why today when we are preaching the resurrection of Christ, we are preaching the miracle of love. When we are preaching the ever abiding presence of Christ, we are preaching the power of love. And when we preach the return of Christ, we are preaching the fulfillment of love. You see it is all about Gods love for us. So today it doesn't matter what sin you have committed. No matter how dirty, how shameful you think it is. It doesn't matter how terrible you think it may be. God can and will forgive you of it. Man may not! But God will! You may be standing at the very gates of Hell, but God because of His love for you and me, will come take your hand and lead you out. How do I know? I was there a few years ago. So today do not underestimate Gods love for you and me. It is an Everlasting love. It is a love that will go on for all time. And what is the proof of this love? It is the fact that Jesus went to the Cross to take on the sins of you, me And the whole world. Now that is Gods love for us. Just wanted to give you something to think about this weekend. How much God Loves You! So let me ask you! How great is your love for Him? HABD!
