Begun on 12/31/01 and last revised on 6/14/02
Consider that God already gave His best when He sent His
only Son.
Jesus willingly laid down His life - the Good Shepherd died
for His lost sheep.
The faithful shepherd left the 99 to seek and find you.
The Holy Spirit lives in the believer to quicken the Word
and point to Jesus.
Jesus did not leave you comfortless but sent the Comforter.
God cannot love you more and He will not love you less.
Your acceptance before God is based on Jesus’ finished work.
The Holy Communion is a reminder of God’s great love.
The Body of Christ was broken for you.
The Blood of Christ was shed for you.
God loved you when you were spiritually unlovely.
God knew every detail about your past and the darkness of your
heart.
God gradually and gracefully drew you to Himself by the Holy
Spirit.
God’s acceptance of you is totally due to the merits of
Christ.
You did not and cannot earn or deserve the love of God - it
is a gift of grace.
In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus willing chose to drink the
cup for you.
Jesus allowed Himself to be arrested.
Christ endured false accusations and phony trials.
He could have called 10,000 angels to prevent the scourging
and crucifixion.
He walked in obedience to Isaiah 53 and dozens of other
prophecies.
For the joy set before Him He endured the Cross despising
the shame.
You did not know you were lost apart from the conviction of
the Holy Spirit.
You could never do enough or forsake enough to become saved.
We love God because He first loved us.
Our Christian service is to be motivated by our gratitude
for God’s love
A lack of love for God or people can be cured by better
embracing God’s love
It is a lie when feelings, circumstances or analysis
imply that God does not love you.
Just seek and find any point of trust in God or His Word and
then
remember the testimonies of
answered prayer
recall personal revelations of His
goodness, love, grace, mercy etc.
review the points above
gradually recover your faith and
confidence in God’s love for you.
