There are certain aspects of a believer’s relationship with Jesus that brings joy and comfort to our hearts. Think about it. Though He sees everything we do -- the right, the wrong, defects and flaws -- He still loves us.
He knew me before He saved me, and He saved me still. He knew that I would fail Him daily, but He loves me still, waiting in the shadows to rescue me when I stumble and call upon His name. What A Savior! His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary is the ultimate love.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
What does Jesus want from us? A life devoted to Him. A clean, holy life is a sweet smelling sacrifice to the Lord.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
