Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Before we were Redeemed we were nothing but paupers, dressed in the rags of sins until Jesus came to us in His love, saved us by His grace, and clothed us in His Own righteous robes, Isa. 61:10; Rom. 4:16-25.
The love of God found its ultimate expression the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins. God knew that we could never love Him like He loves us, but He loved us anyway. He knew there was nothing about us that merited His love, but He loved us anyway.
You see, nothing we did made the Lord start loving us and nothing we can do will make Him stop loving us. Love is a choice that God in His sovereignty makes. It’s a choice that He is willing to stand by forever. Thank God for unconditional love!
Have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior? He loves you, too.
