Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
John 15:9, “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.”
We are not just hoping that God will feel a certain way.
He intrinsically feels a certain way toward us.
And His intrinsic feeling of love is eternally flowing because of the finality of the cross.
Because of the finality of what happened on our behalf at Calvary with the shedding of the Lord’s blood, the Father has once and for all received us fallen, sinful people.
God so intrinsically loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16).
And He demonstrated that love: “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).
Because of Christ, God betrothed us to Himself “in righteousness and justice” (Hosea 2:19).
He entered into a love relationship in righteousness, making Christ our imputed, legal righteousness, and taking us out of our own standing.
Now we are clothed with Christ Himself as our righteousness.
So our love relationship with the Lord is based upon Him being our righteousness.
God has betrothed us in justice.
He judged our sins once and for all.
On the cross, all our sins–past, present, and future–were laid on Christ.
The sin question has been answered conclusively at Calvary.
This is all tied in to God’s unconditional love.
This is how I am related to Him.
My relationship is characterized by that love based upon blood–based upon righteousness and justice.
God betrothed us not only in righteousness and in justice, but also “in lovingkindness and mercy” (Hosea 2:19).
Now God’s intrinsic feeling toward us can only be love because of Jesus, because of blood.
Our whole relationship with Him is characterized by this–“God loves me.”
Just stay in His love.
Do not leave it.
Abide there.
Remain there.
