Rescuing Love

God’s, is a rescuing love. His love was sent direct from Heaven, in the form of His Son. God’s love daily rescues us from the grip of sin, it eternally saves us from the power of death. His love removes our condemnation, through the sacrifice of Jesus. His love accomplished what our hard work could not. No matter how hard we tried, we could never save ourselves; a rescuer was necessary for any hope of being set free. Jesus is our Rescuer, He is our Savior sent from above. He rescues all who believe and ask.

John 3:16, “ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Simple Equation

If you’re anything like me, mathematical word equations were not your favorite assignment in school. Problems such as: If the bus drove 57 miles, at 42 mph, with 107 people on board, making 13 stops along the way, what time would the bus arrive at its destination? Dumb-founded, staring at this problem, I would think, who cares?  If I were on the bus I would just ask the driver for an estimation. Fortunately, the equations the Lord gives us are much simpler, easier to understand, and I actually care about the answer—which He clearly spells out for us in His Word. The Bible is our cheat sheet, and answer book, all wrapped up in one.

One of my favorite equations in the Bible is: Love=Hope=Joy

You see, once we comprehend the lavish love that God has for us, our hearts become filled with hope. Once we latch onto the hope we have in the Lord, our lives explode with joy. Joy then, can’t help but overflow to everyone around.

A simple equation—the kind I like!

Psalm 119:30, “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
