In this is
love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.
1
John 4:10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Propitiation is my favorite
word! It refers to the fact that Jesus took on Himself the full wrath of God
for our sins, for my sins. He took the punishment we deserved. He paid our
debt, all so we could be redeemed, reunited with God. That is love! We were
incapable of loving God without that. What a wonderful God we serve! He gave
everything for us! And don’t fall into the trap of thinking that He did for
mankind at large, so it is nothing to take personally. He would have done it if
you were the only one who needed it. Yes He did it for everyone, but He did it
for you too. He loves you that much that He did what it took to bring you back
to Him! It is very personal to Him. Let that sink in. Dare to believe that the
Creator of the universe made you, knows you and loves you personally and
intimately. Grasp the fullness of what His propitiation means.
