Right Standing with God

This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. John 3:16-17 MSG

Many times religion depicts God as this enraged Father sitting in heaven waiting for us to make a mistake so He can condemn and punish us. What a miss representation of God. He is just the opposite. God is love so much so that He sent His Son to the earth to take our sins upon Him once and for all so that even when we do mess up (and we will) all the Father see's is our righteousness through Jesus. In God's infinite wisdom he devised a plan to have an intimate relationship with sinful mankind. Yes, God hates sin but He absolutely loves and adores fellowship and intimacy with us. Accepting the gift Jesus provided for us over 2,000 years ago allows us to have holy fellowship with God. Jesus took on sin so that we did not have to die because of our sins. His one act of love sealed the deal once for all mankind. God doesn't condemn us His desire is to romance us and lavish His wonderful blessings on our life. We only have to accept, and believe the free gift that has been given to us.

Scripture

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Cor 5:21 NIV

Declaration

God isn't angry with me, but madly, intentionally in love with me.
