How do I know God loves me?
God claims to be love, but there are times when we don’t really feel that love. Maybe life just hasn’t worked out the way we expected? Personal challenges - bereavement - depression - anxiety - family tension - work conflict.
I just don’t feel that loved!
Well, we live in a culture where feelings equals authenticity - if we feel something, then it must be true.
But our feelings can deceive us - they’re unpredictable and can change.
But the good news is that we learn in the Bible that God demonstrates his love that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This means that regardless of what we feel or what our emotions may tell us - we can look to Jesus and know for certain that he loves his people.
