Jesus expressed His love for every person.
He died for every human being on earth.
There’s no greater way of showing love than this.
He didn’t withhold even His own life.
There’s no greater way someone can prove their love for you.
He preferred to suffer and die so that we will not be punished for our sins but instead be forgiven when we repent and believe in Him.
Jesus already proved His love for us, but do we love Him as well or do we prefer the pleasures of sin?
In 2012,the day I got baptized in the Holy Spirit, the Lord asked me this question.
He said,”I gave up everything to come and die for you because of how much I love you, but do you love Me that much too?
Are you willing to let go of everything for My sake?”
Jesus left the glories of heaven to live on this Earth and die a painful death just because of how much He loves you.
But are you willing to give up everything, take up your cross and follow Him?
Following Jesus requires willingness to give up everything that is contrary what Jesus wants no matter how much we may love it.
We must be willing to give up everything, and even our own lives if necessary,or else we are not worthy of Him.
Jesus said whoever gives up their life for Him will find it, and whoever saves their life will lose it.
When we are unable to let go of sin and want to hold on to a lifestyle that is contrary to Jesus,we might enjoy our sinful lives now but we will surely lose our lives.
But if we give up the things we love, giving up our lifestyle just because it’s contrary to what Jesus wants,we ll find our lives later.
Matthew 10:37-39
“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”
