For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. Hebrews 8:7, NIV We only emphasize that Christian life we are in is not based on another form of religious ritual but on a covenant. The question is what type of covenant are you in? Is it a covenant of religion or a covenant of love? It should be a covenant of love. Love is a person and that is God (see 1 John 4:16). The covenant we are in is a covenant based on who He is and not on who we are. It's based on what He has done and not on what we have done. When you sign an agreement form, you understand what type of covenant or agreement you are signing in. And this is the reason why still many Christians missed the true essence of Christianity. It's because they don't understand the covenant they are in. In result, many are so called Christians are still living a life like they don't have Christ. There's no real transformation happened. They think Christian...
"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
1 John 4:8
If you will rearrange the verse oppositely it says that "Whoever does love does know God for love is God". It tells us that, if you are looking for love, the love you are looking for is God.
If you will meditate on that truth, you will see that the love of God was not just being said but also being demonstrated on the cross. Romans 5:8 tell us "But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us". God's love doesn't depend by who you are or by what you have done. It depends by who He is. He is love. Today He loves you as you are. Will you believe that truth? The key is to believe.
Today, if you are feeling empty, that's the indication that you are looking for love not for other human but for God. Don't be mislead. Love is God, God is love. Seek the truth about His love, about His grace today. He said, "I come that you might have life and have it more abundantly"(Jn.10:10).
As you begin to receive His overflowing, unconditional love for you, you will become whole. You will begin to love others the same as what love you have received.
God bless you.
