Imagine that your best teammates, ones with whom you have built strong relationships of love and respect, were suddenly separated from you by a rebellious act of betrayal. How would you feel? How could you ever restore these relationships after they have suffered such a crushing loss?
That’s similar to how God must have felt, and continues to feel, due to our rebellion and betrayal of Him. His heart is grieved by our sinful rejection of His love. How would He act to restore His relationship with us?
The great news is that He sent Jesus to Earth, while we were still in our rebellion and rejecting His love, to live, to die, and to rise again to fully restore our relationship with God. Even more, He promises us life beyond the grave, eternally in His presence. That’s amazing!
Take a moment to think about the depth and power of God’s love. His love pays the price to restore rebellion to a loving relationship with Himself through belief in Jesus Christ.
