 Dear Children of God

Jesus loves us unconditionally. His love is not based on our performance or achievements. Instead, He loves us simply because we are His children. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you" (John 15:9). This means that the love Jesus has for us is the same love that the Father has for Him. It is a perfect, unchanging, and eternal love.

Jesus demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross for our sins. The Apostle Paul wrote, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Jesus willingly gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we could be forgiven and reconciled to God.

Jesus also loves us enough to discipline us when we need it. Hebrews 12:6 says, "For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son." Just as a loving parent disciplines their child for their own good, Jesus disciplines us to help us grow in faith and holiness.

Finally, Jesus loves us with an everlasting love. Jeremiah 31:3 says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." Jesus' love for us is not temporary or fleeting. It is a love that lasts forever.

In summary, Jesus loves us unconditionally, demonstrated His love by dying on the cross for our sins, disciplines us for our own good, and loves us with an everlasting love. As we meditate on these truths, we can respond to His love with gratitude, obedience, and devotion


Sincerely, Bill
