God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending Jesus to suffer
and die so we could enter into religion.
He sent Jesus in order for us to enter into a relationship with
him. God’s biggest desire is for us to
know him as a loving father who would do anything to spend time with his kids. After
all, he didn’t make us robots that mindlessly carry out lists of tasks. God created us to be the objects of his love.
His love for us isn’t based on our
performance or whether or not we love him back.
He just loves his kids because we
are his kids. And what an wonderful,
amazing and marvelous thing it is to be called a child of God!
What marvelous love the Father has extended
to us! Just look at it—we’re called
children of God!
1 John 3:1
(MSG)
