Bible Verse of The Day – 2-17-17

1 John 4:10 (NKJV) 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Propitiation – something that propitiates; specifically: an atoning sacrifice.

God, in His love for us, knew we needed help to be rescued from our sinful state. So He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our sacrifice. Jesus is perfect, Holy, and sinless. His life here on earth demonstrated how we should walk and live each day.

His death on the cross was for us. He was the propitiation for our sins. Yes, our deceitfully and wicked hearts.

When He died, His blood, His body, every bit of His being was perfect as perfect can get. His sacrifice was pure. It covered all of our sins for yesterday, for today and for tomorrow.

What a wonderful and powerful love the Father and the Son had for each other and for us.

We can not forget what has been done for us. We can not let anything take away from this love, this heartfelt compassion that was shown for us by this incredible sacrifice.

We need to Keep it close, fresh and new every day. Loving both the Father and Son with all our hearts, watching our actions, and words as we follow the example that was put before us. We have a friend in Jesus.

John 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
