This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred thirty-eighth inspirational
message dated Saturday, November 12th, 2022. The title of this message is “I
Really Love the Lord – John 1:12”.
The first five words of this
message’s title are also the words in the name of the below inspirational
song/video, “I Really Love The Lord” (with lyrics) as performed by soloist Shirley Jacobs with the
Fellowship Chorale (of the First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Maryland). The
below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the New Testament
book of John – the twelfth verse of the first chapter:
John 1:12
New Life Version (NLV)
12 He gave the right and the power to become children
of God to those who received Him. He gave this to those who put their trust in
His name.
The title of this message
includes the subject concerning “love”.
The “title” of the Charles Stanley
“In Touch” Daily Devotional for (10/31/22) is
“Does God Love Me?” – which I have included below:
Does God Love Me?
In moments of doubt, choose to believe
the truth of God’s Word.
Psalm 145:7-9
By Charles Stanley
Psalm
145:7-9
(New
International Version)
7 They
celebrate Your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
9 The Lord is good to all;
He has compassion on all He has made.
Life can hit us with the most unexpected and
undesirable circumstances. When that happens, we might wonder, Does God
really care about me? Here are three truths to remember:
1. Scripture tells us, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). This means His very nature is characterized by
compassion and concern. Love originated with God, and He is the greatest
example of how to express it. Together with the reality that God is holy, this
means our Father is perfect in His love — He’ll never make a mistake in the way
He cares for us.
2. God loves us because He calls us His children. “To those who believed in His name, He gave
the right to become children of God,” writes John in his gospel (John 1:12 NIV). Sadly, for some who’ve
had a difficult upbringing, this may not be encouraging news. But God is the
perfect parent, and He loves us perfectly.
3. God gave the supreme demonstration of His love at the cross. God’s Son came to earth as an expression of
His Father’s infinite love and sacrificially did for us what no one else could
do.
After considering these three facts about God’s love, how could
we not expect Him to take care of even the smallest details of our life? Look
for ways He is expressing His love to you and remember Jesus’s own words on
the subject: “Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down
his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
