Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. A simple enough thought. But absolutely world changing. This is the epitome of love right here. Jesus did not need us, but He wanted us. Not because there was anything good in us that was desirable, but because of His mercy, grace, and love.
In all the pantheons of all the false religions, there is no story quite like this. In those false religions, 'gods' are often portrayed as selfish beings. Yet in this story that we know to be true, Jesus loved and gave. What more could we hope for?
Am I living by the faith of the Son of God today? Is His love and generosity alive in me? How am I showing it to those around me?
