“Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” | 1 John 4: 11

How did God love us?

He loved us while we were yet sinners.

He reconciled us while we were yet sinners.

He loved us unconditionally.

“Herein is love, NOT that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

God’s love for us was eternal, unchangeable, and effectual.

What is it then that keeps me from loving others?

Can it be that such an object of undeserving grace and mercy now requires a worthiness in others?

Can it be that such a one who was saved by sovereign mercy, alone, now refuses to show mercy?

God forbid!

Let us first contemplate his love for us and we will have no problem loving others.
