July 5 – Believe to Know

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”  1 John 4:16 (ESV)

One of the important messages of the Bible is that God loves His creatures.  This love for all the people of the world is the reason God sent His Son to become our Savior.  As we read this verse, we can notice two important verbs.  First of all, God wants us to KNOW that He loves us.  That is why He sent Jesus, His only begotten Son to our world, to live as a human without sin and so take our sin away when he died on the cross. That is why he has given us the Bible to tell us of His love in many ways.  He wants you and He wants me to know and experience His love.   As we learn about God's great love we come to BELIEVE on His love and to depend on it for all our needs.  We must believe in order to know and receive what Jesus has done for us.  We must stop rejecting and refusing to believe and we must change our minds toward believing and receiving His gift of salvation.
