You Can't Change His Mind

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?"
~Romans 8:38

Did you know there is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you? His love for us is unstoppable, uncontrollable, without conditions or qualifications. The love of God is the answer to all of the questions about why we're here, why the universe exists, and why we were born. 

"Long ago, even before He made the world, God chose us to be His very own through what Christ would do for us; He decided then to make us holy in His eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before Him covered with His love. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And He did this because He wanted to (Ephesians 1:4-5)!"

God was under no obligation to do anything for us, not even creating us. He was under no obligation to give Adam and Eve another chance outside the Garden of Eden. He was not obligated to rescue the Children of Israel time after time. He was not obligated to come to Earth in the flesh and offer Himself up as a living sacrifice for our sins. He did those things for one reason only -- His great and everlasting love for each and every one of us.

There is no way we can earn His love and salvation. We can never be good enough. And we don't have to be, all we have to do is accept the love of God by accepting His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. No one else can give us eternal, everlasting life but we do have the responsibility of saying, "Yes, Lord, I accept You as my Savior and Lord of my life." And then to live out that commitment for the rest of our days. No matter how you've lived your life, it's not too late to live the life God intended for you. 

"And it is this Good News that saves you if you still firmly believe it, unless of course you never really believed it in the first place. I passed on to you right from the first what had been told to me, that Christ died for our sins just as the Scriptures said He would, and that He was buried, and that three days afterwards He arose from the grave just as the prophets foretold (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)."

Nothing has changed since God said, "Let there be light." No matter how we've strayed, God has remained the same, and so has His steadfast love for us.
