As mothers, we love our children simply because they are ours. They don’t have to earn our love, buy our love, or perform for our love. Yet, even our motherly love is imperfect, and we don’t always love our children as we should. But God’s love is not fickle and conditional like ours. His love is perfect and secure. “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are” (1 John 3:1). His love for us has never been based on our performance.

Our boss or coworkers might reject us when we fail to meet expectations, but God never will. Our children might respond to our best efforts with disrespect and anger, but God always responds with grace. His love is the firm foundation we can rest our identity on.

Paul reminded the believers in Colossians that the truth of the gospel was “bringing forth fruit.” Their lives changed because they believed it.

So here’s the question:
Has the gospel changed YOU?

Jesus didn’t die and rise again so we could simply know facts about Him. He came to save us, forgive us, and make us new.

Don’t settle for empty knowledge when Christ offers transformation.
