My life message is pretty simple. It's not super complicated because I don't see the Bible as super complicated. Yes, the Bible is deep and great and filled with amazing stories but I can always find a chapter or verse or even a word that leads me back to one simple idea.
Love.
From Genesis 1 to Revelations 22 God shows His love for us. He shows us so clearly what a perfect, untainted, pure love looks like.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son..." (John 3:16)
God made the ultimate sacrifice out of love. The book of Hosea is a beautiful story of God's undying love for His people. This love is crazy and we are so not worthy of it but God pours it out on all of His people. What gets even crazier is God tells us to love other people. Not only does He show us how to love but He commands us to show love to everyone around us.
"The greatest commandment is this: love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, body and soul and the second is love you neighbour as yourself."
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."
Throughout His word God talks about loving others. When we stop and think why injust situations are the way they are is because of a lack of love. Look at the people around us. Everyone is looking for love; from parents, lovers, pets, food etc.
The greatest things that we, as Christians, can do to help bring God's salvation through Jesus to earth is to love it.
"The world will see how you are different from how you love one another."
It's just all about love.
The secret to life is love.
