Many Christians spend much of their lives paralyzed because, although they have trusted Christ as Saviour, they have never really seen what His sacrifice teaches us about the character of God. He gave His Son; He sent His Son; He �handed over� His Son because He loves us. He does not love us if we love Him. He loves us with an unconditional love; therefore, we should love Him. The message of the covenant is one of God�s totally free grace to His people. Of course, it calls for a response of total commitment. But notice the order: God�s covenant love is not the result of our commitment; it is the cause of it. The pattern is, �I will, therefore you should;� not �I will, but only if you will first.� If we have deep-seated fears that God does not really love us (as many Christians have), we can only go so far in growing nearer to God. There will come a point at which we will fear to trust Him any further because we cannot be sure of His love. When we look at ourselves, or our own faith, or our circumstances we will never be free from those lurking fears. Satan will see to that. But when we lift up our eyes and look on the cross we find the final persuasion that God is gracious towards us. How can he be against us when all His wrath against us fell upon Christ? How can He fail to care for us when He gave the only Son He had for our sake? How can we doubt Him when He has given us evidence of His love sufficient to banish all doubts?" Sinclair B.
