I have so much trouble simply believing God loves me. Yet, I believe that it is His love for me that is causing me to be astounded by the reality of what God has done in making me. Do I dare make the radical claim, that He has declared to me, "I made a way for you, you are my beloved son."? I am convinced that if someone becomes a Christian without embracing the reality of God's love, will live in pain and frustration until they do.
I also have trouble to believe it,but we have to trust on God and his word that he will finish the good work he began.It's not about us,we are a gift from the father to the son to the praise of his glory.He will cleanse us from our sin for his name's sake.Let's pray for one another my brother and love each other amen.
@@Palopp85 OH Amen! my brother! No wonder the puritans preached the gospel to themselves all throughout their day. I have been meditating on these two great words: I AM. These words can bring more than truth or lies, but a reality of pain and bondage or love and liberty. Please pray that by His mercy, I will walk in the reality that I am created specifically to love and be loved by the Father and with that love I will do mighty works of love and in doing so, obey His commands. He did something that was a marvel bordering on scandal to the angels and sent His willing Son for me so I could be with Him. I will pray the same for you.
@@bloodboughtson9126 I will try to do it.Like i said i also have trouble to believe God's love on me.Especially when i sinned against him.It happened an houlf hour ago.Big sin.I have trouble to walk in the spirit,my flesh is driving me crazy its so difficult to make war against sin.The joy of the lord is our strength,and i lack that joy. Everything feels so boring.This is the worst scenario,i don't really love God.I'm so rebellious it feels horrible.I have a hard time picking up my bible.If you or anyone else who reads this could ask God if he would restore me for him,so i can have joy in him again and be obedient loving God and my neighbour that would be great.Glory to God alone only he can do it Amen
@@Palopp85 Something that helps me with those feelings is serving other people. Jude reminds us to, "keep ourselves in the love of God." That is where the joy is. But it also says, "waiting for His mercy" . I firmly believe that a huge aspect of faith is love in action. The problem is our ability to love is broken, that's why we need his mercy. Isolation is a joy killer. We can do nothing without him, so serve others in humility calling on Jesus to serve in and with you. This is faith manifested. His fruit comes because you are in His love. To get a hunger for His word I challenge you to engage a JW or a Mormon. I know that sounds crazy, but sometimes to get passionate about Truth you have to have a need for it, when you are challenged you will crave the truth, you will find that you NEED to memorize His word and you will have a renewed love for God through His word. One more thing, God created us for relationship. Find His people and spend time with them. God wants us to travel together on this journey not to work it out alone in isolation. As for your sin, confess it and your repentance to another brother, then, get out of your head, rise and walk again.
Praise God for in Him, through Him and by Him we know what is eternal love, while binding to hell every lie eternal love does not exist in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ while binding one to believe in eternal love, binding me and my god-ordained spouse to God his eternal love while binding to hell every lack of eternal love between me and my god-ordained spouse, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone lacking to believe in and lacking to receive and give eternal love of God, in accordance with this word and psalm 100:5, romans 5:5, 1 john 3:1-3, romans 8:9-17, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!
What does Dr. RC Sproul mean by "The Son who is the "FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION"? Jesus, the Son is not a created being, right? Please illumine me with this particular line. Thanks
RC Sproul refers to Colossians 1 where the Apostle Paul speaks of the eternal Son as the preeminent One over all creation. In verse 15, we read: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." which doesn't mean that God's Son has been created for Paul says this in the very next sentence: "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (vv16-17). Therefore, the Son is the "firstborn of all creation" in the Old Testament sense that is the firstborn of the family was the one likely to receive the greatest part of inheritance from his father. The Son of God through whom all things has been created has the whole world as His own inheritence from His Father-check Psalm 2 or Hebrews 1:2 where we have the same argument. Hope that helps!
@@lizze7229 I had a loveless violent immature father who beat my mother and us. To feel gods love, you need to firrst experience human love. If God really loved us would he have given us such a loveless abusive life
@@eagyinjection Im sorry to hear that. But we cant blame God for sinner's lack of love and abuse. God does love us. He proved it by taking the penalty of sin upon Himself. You know the Gospel, right?
A great preacher, philosopher, teacher and enthusiast for true theology. Sorely missed.
What in the heck is wrong with me? I have never even met this man and I love him more than most of the people I see regularly LOL!
56yy
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for loving me unconditionally ✝️🙏🏼
Great message by RC.SPROUL. Thanks to the ministry.
This teaching is very enlightening.
Amen Sproul. We are restored throught the saving grace of Christ Jesus. May we bless His holy name forevermore. God bless you all.
Wow how beautiful is this message to me, it is beautiful.
His Love that reviving my soul.
