The Only True Love

The only true love this world has ever seen happened on a hill called Calvary just outside Jerusalem 2000 years ago, when the Son of God was crucified for the sins of the whole world. *I John 2:2* Christ Jesus' bleeding love is true, pure and everlasting.  When Jesus laid down His sinless life for your sake, He loved you with an everlasting love.  Jesus' love for sinners was selfless and sinless. The Prince of Peace came into this world to rescue lost sinners from the wrath to come on human sin.  If you are looking for someone that loved you in spite of your sins, even when you were His worst enemy, Jesus loved your guilty soul like that.  When Jesus was bleeding and dying on Calvary's Cross, He moved heaven and earth to save your soul - the sky went pitch black with darkness and the rocks were rent the day He died to pay the price for your transgressions against God's Law.  If you are looking for God's Love, you can only find it at the Cross where the Lamb of God died in agony and blood for His enemies.  Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the Propitiation for our sins.  Jesus loved me, and gave Himself for me.  Jesus didn't hold anything back when He died for all my sins suffering the wrath of God on my behalf.  Jesus' love is unconditional and eternal.  Jesus gave this world His heart, but sinful man pierced His heart with a spear on the Cross.  If you need compassion, tenderness, mercy and free forgiveness, Jesus has that for you today.  Cast all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you.

If you need someone who understands what you are going through in this life, Jesus can do that; for He lived here on Earth for 33 years as a Jewish man and suffered shame, loneliness, heartache, loss, cruelty, mocking, betrayal, and persecution.  You don't have to look very far, if you are looking for a Friend - simply look to the Cross today.  If you think you can help save yourself through your religion or human goodness, you are as lost as the day is long.  Open your eyes and heart now, please give Jesus a chance, stop avoiding Him, seek Him today through faith in His precious blood.  Jesus doesn't love sinners just now and then, His love is divine, His love is forever and ever, an everlasting love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through JESUS.  Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us.  We love JESUS, because He first loved us.  But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in JESUS should not perish, but have everlasting life.  When Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end.  As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love.  Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  I will love you freely.  Jesus loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood.
