Hebrews 1: 7 But about the angels God said,
“God makes his angels winds,
and
his servants flames of fire.”
8 About the Son, however, God said:
“Your kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever!
You
rule over your
people with justice.
9 You
love what is right and hate what is wrong.
That is why God, your God, has chosen you
and
has given you the joy of an honor far greater
than
he gave to your companions.”
============
Questioning GOD’s
love for me became the norm. My sins had piled up and I wondered if GOD could
love me at all. I figured HE was away from me doing good things for other
people and holding me accountable for all the bad things I did.
- I had a negative view of a loving GOD.
- I thought that HE disliked me because HE disliked sin.
- I was missing something very important, namely HE loves me.
JESUS was placed way
above powerful angels according to the revelation given to Paul. Because JESUS
loves what Is right and hates what is wrong, HE chose to do something about it.
Rather than lose humanity, HE died for it. HE gave up everything. GOD raised
ZHIM from the dead and placed HIM above powerful angels.
My Observations
- GOD cannot stand sin, but chose me anyway.
- GOD decided to do something about my sin, namely die for me so I would not have to experience eternal pain.
- GOD loves me so much, that HE took my sins away from me as far as the east is from the west.
GOD loves me and
you. I mean, sometimes I have a sinful view of GOD, especially when I am not
getting my way. BUT GOD does not have that same view of me or you. HIS love is
unfathomable.
HIS love cannot and
will not be stopped by my sin or yours. HE hated sin so much, that HE did away
with it by dying for it. HIS resurrection gives HIM the right to raise anyone
who is thankful for HIS loving act, to live eternally. HIS love is wild and
passionate. I am grateful for love that never diminishes.
Challenge
- What honor is the writer speaking about?
- Have you ever doubted GOD’s love for you?
- Will you have a different view of GOD, knowing HE loves you and has forgiven you today?
