Life-Changing Love
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
—Romans 10:9
One heartbreaking question I’m sometimes asked goes like this: “I’ve asked Christ to come into my life dozens of times, but He hasn’t. Does God hate me?” Perhaps you have felt like this.

But the Bible’s teaching is clear: God does not hate you. God loves you, and He wants to be part of your life even more than you want Him to! From beginning to end, the Bible proclaims this simple truth: God loves you.

Why, then, hasn’t God apparently come into your life? The key word is apparently. If you have confessed your sin and acknowledged that Jesus is your Lord, who died on the cross for you and rose again to give you eternal life, then God has promised to forgive you and save you. God does not lie, and He has promised that if we truly commit our lives to Christ, He will save us and come into our lives. Salvation is God’s gift to you—a gift paid for by Christ’s sacrifice of Himself for you. You may not feel any different, but you will be different because Christ now lives within you. Don’t go by your feelings but by the fact of God’s promises to you.
Wisdom for Today

Help us not mistake our feelings, which can be fickle and fleeting, for truth, Father. If our feelings ever contradict what Scripture has proclaimed, give us the wisdom to accept Your Word as truth.
