Some think God hates sinners. You’ve seen people hold up those signs on street corners, right? Some think God rejects sinners and wants nothing to do with them, or maybe he wants to strike them with lightning. But let me share with you a powerful truth. God loves sinners.
Main Points:
1. In the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever seen, Jesus, the Son of God, willingly lays down His life a sacrifice for sinners. Christ died for us, so that we won’t have to die. Motivated by love, Jesus takes our place on the cross. He becomes our substitute. He satisfied the justices of a holy God, by taking our penalty.
2. However, God’s love for everyone does not mean that everyone will be saved. God will not ignore sin, for He is a God of justice, and sin cannot go unpunished forever. The Bible teaches us that today is the day of salvation. Because of His great love for us, God has created a way for our sins to be forgiven. If we believe in Him, confess our sins, and trust Jesus’ death and resurrection for our salvation, we will be forgiven of our sins.
3. As we interact with people, may we never forget that God loves all people and desires that they be saved. May you and I love all people with the love of God.
