God is love, 1 John 4:16 because he loves human beings immensely and He sent His only son to die for humanity.
Jesus came to earth as God’s son to show people and to teach people all about right living and thinking, Philippians 2:5.
However, Since the world couldn’t accept Jesus’ perfect way of thinking and living so they rejected Him as it was very difficult to come in terms with the different way of thinking involving thinking good for people all the time, loving your enemies and praying for them and to live a sacrificial life.
God Is Able To Love Even Sinners
God made all human beings so naturally He loves them all. However, when they sin He always tries to make them aware that its not right, Luke 16:28 but majority of people ignore God’s warning.
They assume that the tug in their consciousness, Hebrews 10:16 is just their feeling which is making them feeling guilty and nothing more. So, they will not do any attempt to observe the pain that their consciousness feels when it hurts someone or does something wrong and they go on with their life as if nothing happened. This is the root of all evil when a human being is not even close to his own heart. Therefore, it is necessary that a person pay close attention to those thoughts that tell him not to do certain things if its going to do harm to someone or anything.
Now the question as to why God is able to love those people who sin is because He knows that these people don’t know exactly what is in their heart. They are mostly confused and can’t perform well in terms of analyzing themselves completely correctly so God gives them time to make themselves right with God. God waits for His creation to come back to Him so that He can have fellowship with His creation, the humans, John 14:23. :
God sent His only son Jesus to die for our sins, 1 John 4:9 so that we may be made right with God. God wants to have relationship with human beings and one of the reasons why God made humans in His own image is because He wanted to commune with humans. However, due to man’s disobedience, 2 Timothy 3: 1-7 man is not able to have a relationship with God.
Take for example, God always communed with Adam and Eve, Genesis 3:8 and they too communicated with the Lord. But, when Satan came and seduced Eve, Genesis 3:1-4 she succumbed to his evil ideas and gave in to his way of working which was through deception and lies, John 8:44. This way of deception is very common in humans who are always trying to deceive others to get through their way.
God sent His only son Jesus so that people will know God intimately because Jesus is the visible form of invisible God, Colossians 1:15. Hence, when God sent Jesus He made sure that Jesus will work perfectly all the time in speech, thought and action so that people will know the right way to think and act and will have a role model in their life to follow, Philippians 2:5 . Jesus was perfect in every way and His sacrificial life should be emulated by all.
Jesus loved people very much and spent all His time with them. He didn’t spend His time with others to always to find faults with them or to spend His valuable time in things that have very little value. Take for example, In the early morning before the sun rose Jesus spent His time in prayer, Mark 1:35. After the sun rose He would spend His time doing good like working for His father Joseph as a carpenter and also spending the rest of His time with people who needed help in terms of physical, spiritual and emotional. Jesus never charged for His services and spent His valuable time for the good of others.
Jesus Is Love
Jesus is love because He was ready to sacrifice His life for others even to the extent of dying for their sins.
He loved people so much that they would have to think of ways to understand as to how it is possible for a human being to love another human being so much because man by nature is selfish and so would never think of living a sacrificial life.
On the other hand, to see Jesus being so much sacrificial was something that they were not used to and this affected a lot of people deeply which made them to really love the Lord dearly. One of them was Mary Magdalene, John 8 : 1-11 who was forgiven by the Lord for doing adultery but she still was persecuted by people for being an adulterous wife and they planned to kill her. But Jesus asked her persecutors to throw the stone at her if they themselves have never committed a sin and they all left her unharmed. Then the Lord told her to sin “no more” because the Lord didn’t want her to sin as adultery is a sin in God’s eyes.
The account of Mary Magdalene is very important to understand the love of God for people because God doesn’t judge people based on things that cause people to do things that is considered sin by the society but God judges people by the things thought and acted upon from their hearts. What Mary Magdalene did was wrong both in the eyes of society and in the eyes of God but Jesus wanted to show the mercy of God for sinners by forgiving their sins and allowing them to have a second chance at life. Once people genuinely repent then it is possible for them to live a good life that is holy and sacrificial. Thus we see Mary Magdalene as a woman whom the Lord saved from death leading her to repent and become a disciple of Christ. She loved the Lord so much that after Christ’s resurrection He first met her, John 20 : 11-18 even before He met His other disciples showing how much He valued her.
Jesus loved humanity to the extent of giving His life for them but still many people don’t even try to understand the greatest sacrifice ever done by God for humanity.
On the contrary, they try to make sure that they live their life in total darkness away from God and everything related to God like not going to any church or spending time with people who know God. Instead they find joy in doing things that delight their heart like going to a lot of places where people do things that destroy their souls the brothels, the clubs which promote homosexuality and drinking and also places where drugs are sold.
Thus it must be seen that people don’t visit such places and should instead spend their time with people who are godly and spiritual and live a holy life. If they can’t find such people then they themselves should learn to live alone and try to cultivate friendship with the Holy Spirit who is their friend, counselor, helper and guide, John 14 : 16.
Holy Spirit was sent by God to people to help them as Jesus was taken up into the Heaven. Thus God made sure that the Holy Spirit was there when Jesus left, John 16:7 to help people.
Jesus Christ is coming soon and the time is near so people should get ready for the end times. We are at the cusp of end times and hence be sure of the way we live, think and act.
How To Succeed In Today’s World With The Love Of God?
God is love because God made everything out of love. In the book of 1 Corinthians 16:14 it is written, Do all things in love because when you do things in love then your quality of work is of absolutely of great standard.
Then it becomes easy for you to do your work as you tend to enjoy your work as you do it in love.
Moreover, your concentration level improves as do things in love as it is seen in research that people who have more love and interest in their area of work are more successful than those people who do things out of obligation.
During the time when people used to do work in nature like farming and animal husbandry at that time people had more time to relax as they were not doing work that involved a lot of thinking but physical labor. Such people’s life even though was difficult but still filled with more peace than it is now as in the present times men tend to work with their intelligence more than their physical body causing the brain to be quite overloaded most of the time and hence making their minds less peaceful.
So, the solution to the problem is to make use of God’s love to solve any problem because when God sends His love as you commune with Him during prayer and reading the word of God at that time His peace fills you completely and you become a person having a lot of peace who can then use his mind to do a lot of useful things for himself and the others.
Thus man is going to be the most successful when he does things in love.
