ALL
IN 2 GO ALL OUT: What’s Love Got to do with it?
Elder
Christine Shumaker
What’s
Love got to do with it? Paul uses the analogy, of marriage and draws our attention
to the relationship between a husband and wife to demonstrate the perfect love
that God has toward us. He uses the kind
of love that is imperfect, the kind of love that is not always right, and
illustrate to us that this kind of love, even at its highest level, pales in
comparison to the love between Christ and the church.
How
perfect is God’s love for us that while we were (are) yet sinners (Ro. 5:8),
enemies of God (Ro. 5:10) that Christ died for us. How perfect is God’s love
that He gave His only begotten son so that WHOSOEVER would believe in Him,
accept His unconditional love, that they would not perish but would have
everlasting life. (John 3:16). God’s love forgives our deepest and darkest
sins; His love washes away all the guilt and stain of sin and cleanses us from
all the filth of the world. He makes us presentable before Himself, as a
radiant church without spot of blemish.
God
loves the unbeliever and He went “ALL IN” for us. God has given us the command in Matthew 28:19
to go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded. Each day we should ask God to put someone
in our path so that we can share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
