“Herein is
love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation
for our sins." ( 1 John 4 : 10 )
Our
old sinful life in Egypt separated us from God and left us restless. Then we
know nothing about God and His glory and power; we have not considered them. We
were living in this world, drowning in the desires of the world. But God had a
plan for us. That plan was because of His love for us.
Yes,
beloved, not because we loved God, but because He loved us and sent His Son as
a sacrifice for our sins. If He had not loved us, we would not have received
Christ and His salvation.
Because
our sins are washed away, we know God and His Son. So, we love him. The reason
we love him like this is because he loved us before, forgave our sins, and
accepted us. Yes, "We love him because he first loved us." (1 John
4:19)
Saying
that you love God with your mouth is not loving Him. Worshipping him with
garlands and fragrant incense sticks is not loving him; It is not a sign of
loving Him to give more offerings or to attend prayer meetings or services.
That is why John says, "If a man says, I love God, and hateth his brother,
he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he
love God whom he hath not seen?" (1 John 4:20)
That
is to love our fellow-born; to love our fellow human beings regardless of
caste, religion, and race. John says that if he does not love like this, he is
a liar. Because if we truly have our sins cleansed and have experienced
salvation, we will respect and love everyone. It means that one who does not
love like that has not yet received forgiveness from God for his sins. How can
he love the invisible God? The apostle John asks.
Our
siblings may ignore us and misunderstand us. We cannot go to them all the time
and explain our situation. But we can pray for them. Praying like that is a
sign that we love them. God, who knows the things that are hidden, knows them.
Yes,
beloved, not because we loved God, but because he loved us and sent his Son as
a sacrifice for our sins. We should extend the same unconditional love to
everyone, regardless of caste, religion, or race.
