Love is a word that requires true understanding to enable a proper relationship with God and enjoy peace about life after death. Do you know that you are going to heaven? Honestly search your heart and answer why or why not?

Christ’s performance not our performance must be the basis for our faith in God’s acceptance. We fall very short of perfection and therefore never worthy of God’s love. The video below helps us greatly to see God’ heart toward us – it is amazing. Human love is imperfect, God’s love is not. There is not one sin that He will not forgive.

But, we must open our hearts to the love of God, admit we have sinned and then trust in the love of Christ who paid for our sins. God’s love took our punishment on the cross so that we would be found not guilty and escape the punishment that we deserve. God demonstrates His love for us by dying for us while we were still sinners. We can never qualify for God’s love, it is a gift. Our physical birth is a gift from God. Likewise, our spiritual birth must be the same. Notice in the verse below, God created us (first birth) and God saves us (second birth). It is all God.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.  Ephesians 2:8-9
