Love

God chooses to make Himself known to man. God chooses us to know Him. Why? The only answer I can come up with is love. He created us to love, to receive His love and to be capable of loving Him.

Love is the one thing that God did not create and cannot be demanded. It must be freely given, else it wouldn’t be love. He created us with the capacity to receive and give love. Then He gave us the freedom necessary for love to exist.

His choice has already been made. He has freely loved us, giving His Son out of that love. This is love: that He laid down His life for you and me.

Our love is shown the same way, in the giving of our life to Him. We then are assured of eternal life. We cannot out give God.

We can choose to love Him or not, but His love is there and waiting.
