October 26 Authentic Love Romans 5:8
***Due to the rise in COVID19 related illnesses, we are strongly encouraging the use of Masks, within the sanctuary, and to continue to observe “Social Distancing.” Together, with a faithful reliance on God, we will overcome this present challenge!!***
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “But God demonstrated His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
The question was asked by a traveling preacher, at a tent revival, “Have you been captured by the Love of God?” Wow! That is a question that we need to answer! When we consider the width and length and depth and height of the Love of Jesus Christ for humanity, we aught to recognize this love and embrace and emulate this level of Love. Unfortunately, today, in 21st Century America, there are many superficial expressions of Love, yet they are shallow expressions. Folks, if we need an example and a true expression of Love that we can emulate, then go to Calvary! God demonstrated His love for us, and He proved His love for us, by giving His Own Son to die for our sins. Pondering the scripture passage, I ask this question: How much does God Love us? Jesus answered this question as He hung on that cruel cross and paid the debt for our sins. As Born-Again Christians, we need to demonstrate and express the extravagant and sincere Love of God to others, as we walk in Obedience and fulfill our responsibility of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ, the author and example of real, true, and authentic LOVE! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
