Do You Really Believe It?

Ephesians 2:4–7 says,

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

There was a time in my wife’s life when nothing was going right. It was before we were married while she was attending Bible school. Things were so bad that she was ready to drop out, and she wondered where God was in her life.

It was then that she attended a seminar where a woman was teaching on this passage. As my wife read this, and heard it taught, she saw that God loved her in an amazing way. That He loves everybody so much He sent Jesus Christ, so that He could make us a showpiece of His great love.

She realized He wanted to make her life beautiful and full. He wanted to make it good. He wanted to do things in her life so that she would be a showpiece for Him, and other people would look and say, “What is it about you?” and she could tell them that God made the difference in her life. Since that truth dawned on Janet’s heart, she has never been the same.

1 John 4:16 says,

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.

Do you really believe that God loves you and has good things in store for you? You have heard about God’s love, but do you really know it? Are you really believing the love that God has for you?

Well He does love you, and when you believe it, you will never be the same!
