“God shows [demonstrates] His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”- (Romans 5:8)
Note- “Demonstrates” not “demonstrated” it is in the PRESENT TENSE. It implies a continuing, ongoing act that keeps happening. He is continually showing His Love for us. In other words, God keeps showing us that, today, tomorrow, each and every second of every minute, hour, day, week, month, year, of His continuous unbreakable love for us.
He wants it to be a reality to us… because it is true of us!
God CONTINUALLY DEMONSTRATES What? HIS LOVE FOR US! He wants you to be assured of His continuing love for you.
God wants for you to have HOPE – The certainty and this by the Assurance of His Continually demonstrating HIS LOVE. “Christ DIED” is in the past tense. He did this once for all and wants us to presently know as He assures us by His Spirit through His Word that He loves us continually…!
To Know through This past work the PRESENT REALITY… You Are CONTINUALLY LOVED by God- And this should produce HOPE, CONFIDENCE IN HIM, that does not disappoint, or put to shame! -{Rom 5:5}.
NO SEPERATION- NO LIMITATION;
God demonstrated His commitment to love you through the Cross of Christ. And He now continually shows His love for you by the Spirit assuring You of His character, His goodness and that nothing or no one can separate you from the love of God in Christ-{Read Rom 8:31-38}.
A. NO SEPERATION – From His Continual Love.
B. NO LIMITATION – To His Constant Love For You!
C. CELEBRATION – OF GOD WHO LOVES YOU
APPLICATION;
Through the past Work of Christ, when I was at my worst, a sinner opposed to God, God intervened and Christ Died for me! And as a result, I Have the present continual assurance from God by His Spirit the Hope [the confident certainty} that God is continually demonstrating… His Love to me as a PRESENT TENSE Reality!
IN YOUR WORST MOMENT GOD LOVED YOU AND HE HAS NOT STOPPED NOR WILL NOT STOP LOVING YOU! THINK ON THAT! WORSHIP HIM!
