Key Verse: "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
- 1 John 4:10 KJV
"Herein is love!" as though John would say, "and nowhere
else but here!" That God should punish the innocent for the guilty- that He
should exact the blood of His Son to cancel the guilt of His rebels- that He
should lay an infinite weight of wrath on His soul, in order to lay an
infinite weight of love on ours- that He should sacrifice His life of
priceless value for ours- worthless, forfeited, and doomed-
That He should
not only give His Son, but should bruise Him, put Him to grief, afflict Him,
should make His soul an offering for sin- that the 'Lord of Glory' should
become a 'man of sorrows', the Lord of Life should die, and the Heir of all
things should be "as him that serves." Oh depth of love unfathomable! Oh
height of love unsearchable! Oh length and breadth of love unmeasurable! Oh
love of God, which passes knowledge!
Are you Saved?
