”Agape”, God’s unconditional Love.  

1st John 4 vs 19: We love Him, because He first loved us.

          When people puzzle over the mysteries of life, one of the deepest is the question of why anything exist at all. Why is there something rather than nothing? The Bible one-word answer to that question is LOVE. God's love is the power that called the universe into being. Love is the compelling force of our existence, the answer to why we were born. God, who is love, created us from love, for love, to love. Love is the very nature of God and desires it to be the nature of people as well. His greatest command for us - to love Him and others and experience joyful relationships from that love.   

        The Greek word for LOVE is “Agape” signifying God’s unconditional love. Agape means affection, benevolence and good will. Agape Love is not merely a feeling, it’s a strong affection that is backed up with action. “John 3:16” exemplifies the truest nature of God's love. “For God so love the word that he gave his only begotten son…” God greatly loved the world and in response to such affection, acted by giving HIS ONLY begotten son. God sent His son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him.  There is no comparison to the love of God. As believers we should let the love of God be reflected in our thoughts, words, actions, relationships and every area of our life. Let the love of God serve as a foundation and the framework of every decision of our life.

        God loves you because of Who He is. His love and actions are a reflection of His nature. That is why God loves us even at our worst. One can’t lose the love of God by doing something because we did not gain the love of God by our actions. He loves us because we are made in His image (Genesis 1:26). God demonstrated His love for us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). God’s love is everlasting, it never fails, and it is beyond human comprehension. His love sets us free. As believers, no matter what you lose, never lose the consciousness of God's love for you. GOD LOVES YOU!

        Jesus as the Son of God, came in the likeness of man to earth, to take care of a broken world and bring redemption. You can be high on drugs; You may be discouraged, you might have made terrible mistakes, however, I want to let you know that God’s love is looking for you. God is saying I am not mad at you, I am madly in love with you. I am not holding anything against you, I am not keeping record of your mistakes. I am not interested in your past; I am ONLY interested in your future. God is tirelessly pursuing you, He will never leave, neither forsake you. You can never outrun the Love of God. God’s Love ALWAYS keeps coming saying I have something better to offer; I have mercy, forgiveness, blessings, restoration, new beginnings. If one can shake off the guilt, shame, condemnation and start making choices that honors God, He will bless you despite your mistakes. He will make something great of your life despite your past. The Bible says that God came to seek and save those who are lost.

        Choose now to let the Love of God strengthen you. God's love forgives and break generational cycles. His love has no boundaries and has no limits. Surrender and allow his love to deliver you from the bondages and pains of the past. Let His love reaches and heal every deep seeded wound, let His love mend every part of your heart and soul. Surrender now to the Love of God and be made whole.

                                                                                                                Nelson McEwen

Position In Christ

Position In Christ, Part 1.             John 14 vs 14, "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it".  NKJV John 14:14 says, "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." Simple, right? Just ask in Jesus' name, and it will be done! But here's the thing: Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like that’s the case. We pray, we ask, we believe, and yet, the answers don’t always come. As a young believer, I was told that if my prayers weren't answered, they weren't in line with God's will. But there are situations where people are sick, and we lay hands on them for healing, but they don’t recover. Jesus promised in Mark 16:18, “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So, what’s going on? Here is a surprising truth: Simply saying “In Jesus' name” at the end of a prayer doesn’t guarantee answered prayers. I know that sounds wild, but let me explain. When Jesus walked the earth, the name "Jesus" didn’t even exist. Back then, He wa...

The Transformative Power of the Word

By
Unlocking the Power in God's Word The Bible tells us something very important in Joshua 1: 8 (NKJV):  "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." This verse reminds us that God's word is not something to take lightly. It's not just a book - it's our lifeline. Our physical and spiritual health depends on it. (Psalm 33:6, Matthew 4:4).  Nothing is more fundamental to human existence than the living Word of God. The Bible is not a collection of empty phrases; it's a principal guide on navigating life on earth.  There is POWER in the word of God. As John 1 vs 1 (NKJV) declares:   "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. "   Here, we understand that the Word of God is not merely inspired writing - it is a d...

The Mind of Christ

By
    The Mind of Christ Philippians 2 :5: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus". NKJV                    In this passage we are encouraged to have the mind of Christ. One may wonder, why does Paul encourage us to have the mind of Christ? What the significance of the mind? Brethren, the battle of life is the battle of the mind. Each day there is a battle raging between the forces of light and forces of darkness to take absolute control of your mind. Why? The emphatic truth is that whoever or whatsoever controls your mind controls your life.                  A person's mind is the garden where seeds are sown, and from which yields every thought, action, habit, and character . As it is commonly said "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny". Sata...
