Today's investigative Devotional, submitted by Andrew Jones, answers a question many of us might often wonder about as well! 🤔 Thank you, Andrew, for taking the deep dive for the team so that we could also have the answer! 🤿 Thank you, God, for providing the answers in your Word to ALL of the questions we have on our minds! 📖
Happy Wednesday, Church Family!
Over the past few days, the question that has been on my mind is this: Why does God love us, even when we do wrong?
This past Sabbath, I took a "deep dive" into God's word to find out the answer, and I'd like to briefly share my findings with you.
God loves us because it is his nature. 1 John 4:8 says that “God is love, and anyone who doesn't love others has never known him."
Even though we may do wrong, he still loves us!
God's love:
-forgives us of sin
-heals us
-mends our broken hearts
Family, I want to remind you today that no matter what you may be going through, there is a God who loves and cares for you, unconditionally! All you have to do is trust and believe in his promise!
Be blessed!
