Why Jesus Loves Us

Why Jesus loves us? Frankly, we have no idea. We just know that He does. We’re all pretty messed up. The Bible is full of stuff that says we’re pretty messed up, but that God somehow loves us anyway...like John 3:16 – yup, it’s that verse you see at sporting events on a poster held by that guy with the rainbow fro (at least I used to see him back when I was a kid…come to think of I have actually seen him for a while and I’m hoping he’s ok.) Then there’s Rom. 5:8 that says He proved His love for us by dying for us while we were still in the pig pen, not when we were trying to get all prettied up in our own righteousness.

We really want to keep that simple focus of the impact of God’s grace. We believe that perhaps the two most important corporate (tho’ definitely NOT like a corporation) activities of the church are to 1. Love the Lord through worship & 2. Study His Word. We believe that the more you engage in one the more you’ll want to engage in the other. They feed each other. As we extol the Lord and His character the more we are inclined to want to know this God that loves us with such wanton abandon! This leads us to inquire, to study, to learn of Him in His Word, which, in turn, makes us love Him all the more.

We honestly don’t know why He loves us like He does. He just does. We certainly haven’t, can’t, and won’t ever give Him reason to love us. In fact, we will probably be wondering about the answer to that question for all eternity. We, and the angels in heaven, will forever be praising the "glory of His grace!" (Eph. 1:6) For now, however, we want to keep growing in His amazing grace! (2 Peter 3:18)
