Our Love And Hope In Christ

People have been suffering from the consequences of greed, pride, and hate for a long time now. Even from the beginning, wars, fights, disputes and murders occured on earth on a daily basis. If we could see the timeline of earth's history, from the moment adam and eve fled from the garden on eden until today, we would be appalled at the wars, violence, and hateful acts people were capable of doing that came straight from their hearts. In my opinion, it is only the grace of God that has shepherded the human race up to this point in time, and that without His grace and mercy, humanity would not have survived as long as it has.

We strive toward peace and cooperation, but it is not easy; it is impossible without stringent laws, forming allies and partnerships, and competent law enforement. The fear of being caught and paying a price in jail for breaking those laws keeps most of the population from doing things that they know deep in their hearts are not right. The point that God is trying to make with all of us is that we need to live from a perspective of kindness and consideration; if you love your neighbor, you will not steal from him, or hurt him, you will cherish him and help him. The example of God's great love for humanity is His Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins. Who could possibly say no to a God who loves us so much?

It is hard for unbelievers to conceive that anyone, that God himself, could love us that much. The level of selflessness, the forgiving spirit, the awesome compassion and kindness. expressed by Jesus Christ while He walked on the earth is beyond all human comprehension; that is why it can only be understood from our hearts.

We need to continue to believe in God and in His solution for the world's problems, Jesus Christ. Without His love for us and His sacrifice on the cross for our sins, we would be lost and without hope. No one will love us more than Our Savior and our God, and no one knows us better than He does. He lived among us, worked with us, healed us, cherished us, and died for us. He is our very best friend, our Savior, our Father, our provider. There is no other 'god' in the world that can compare to Him, and He is all the God you or I will ever need. Place your heart and hope in Him.
