He went because He chose to.
And that changes the way we understand His love. 💛
Sometimes we can approach our relationship with God like we're trying to pay Him back.
If we pray enough…
Serve enough…
Make enough good choices…
Maybe we'll finally feel worthy of everything He's done for us.
But Savannah Carlson shares a powerful reminder in Part Two of the Everyday Faith Podcast:
The cross wasn't a transaction Jesus made so we would spend the rest of our lives trying to repay Him.
It was the ultimate demonstration of His love.
Romans 5:8 reminds us that God demonstrated His love for us while we were still sinners.
Before we could clean ourselves up.
Before we could prove anything.
Before we had anything to offer.
He loved us first.
And He invites us to respond to that love freely.
Not out of guilt.
Not out of obligation.
But out of a genuine desire to know and follow Him.
So if you've been wondering whether God really loves you, take another look at the cross.
His love for you was never something you had to earn.
