“Who loved me, and gave himself for me” Then and Now
2017 Feb 12th Streaming
Greetings Everyone,
Today we conclude with Paul’s final words in this verse from his revelation of Christ. His final statement is “who loved me and gave himself for me”. Have we noticed his use of the personal pronoun “me”? He said “who loved me” then “gave himself for me”. His revelation is personal so the love he now sees is personal! And, that also makes the death personal too! Remember “I am crucified with Christ”. Let’s start by looking at “loved me” first. Is the love of God conditional? Is it unconditional? Is it personal? Everyone has their own belief on this subject. Is God’s love conditional or unconditional? Do we deserve it or don’t deserve it? Are either of terms used in the Bible? The answer flows out of Paul’s revelation of Christ! Paul seems to be pretty set of the personal pronoun me. Let’s talk about it!
Love in Christ,
David & Katherine
