The love of God is our greatest asset

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). Your success in life is determined by your most important asset.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life [John 3:16]

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things  [Romans 8:32]

We love Him because He first loved us  [I John 4:19] 

The love of God is the reason I can face tomorrow. I know that His love for me will see me through the day. If God did not spare Jesus for the love that He has for us (John 3:16), there is nothing that He will not freely give or do for us (Romans 8:32).

Why the love of God is our greatest asset

1. Fear is destroyed

When I remember that God loves me and will not allow any evil to come upon me, every form of fear disappears (1 John 4:18). God is the Almighty God and every being and thing bows before Him, including whatever is causing fear in me. God's love gives me the assurance that I am covered.

2. Peace is Ours 

Peace floods our mind and spirit when we meditate on my Father's love for us, no matter the challenge that we face(Isaiah 26:3). His love gives us an overcomer's mentality, which dominates any thought contrary to what God says concerning us in His word.

3. Hope

Sometimes, circumstances around us try to discourage us but when we focus on God's love for us, We shake off the discouraging thoughts, hope comes alive in us and we should remind ourselves that all things will work together for our own good (Romans 8:28).

4. Faith

Faith works through love (Galatians 5:6). The love of God strengthens our faith. When I remember that everything God wrote in His word is for our good because He loves us, I tend to believe and act on it. Our faith comes alive as we understand the depth of God's love for us. It makes us to totally trust in God and in His word.

5. Love for God and for our neighbors

We are able to love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). He gave His only son Jesus for us! It is easier to love others if we compare the sacrifice we will make loving them with the sacrifice God made loving us. The love of God shed abroad in our heart (Romans 5:5) empowers us to love God and other people. Let’s praise God for this grace to love Him and our fellowmen.

In conclusion, God's love for us is our greatest asset because it builds our Christian life and empowers us to please God and to be a blessing to our fellowmen. Glory to God! Amen.
