What we believe about God comes from two primary sources. One is the creation around us that speaks of intelligent design and power. The other is the Bible, the 66 books authored by God but penned by the men God chose to put His truth into written form. God has chosen to reveal Himself to us, and we see in the pages of Scripture a self-description. In Ex 34:7 God tells us who He is. “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.”
The picture is of a God who leads with His loving heart, affirming His affection for mankind, demonstrating it all the way to the cross of Calvary. Through His sacrificial death He offers gifts of incomparable grace and worth to those who will believe in Him and put their trust in Him. He offers forgiveness of sins, His Spirit to indwell us, adoption into His forever family, life without end, an inheritance in heaven that will never be exhausted. There is no good gift that God will withhold from us. We are co-heirs with Christ. Make no mistake about it God loves us more than we can fully comprehend.
As we enter this Easter season, our hearts should be so filled with thanksgiving and love for our God that worship should burst forth from us like flavor from an Easter ham.
Make sure you thank Him this Easter season for His indescribable love!
