The Father Hart of God (option B)
It was a cool topic The Father Hard of God. I personal learned a lot from this topic. Every Christian knows that god loves him, you hear at every service, small group, youth-group…. that God loves you. But what is really Love? I heard also a lot about this eternal and absolute love. But do I really realize how strong Gods love is?
God has me and you in his mind before he built the foundation of the earth. Eps.1.4. He knew us long before he build the earth for thousands of years he have a plan for every single person. It’s is so cool to know that you are not an accident, not a creature of the nature. No, you’re a plan of the holly God since he created the world, you was his perfect plan, from all the beginning! This is so amazing, to be in the plan of a creator since thousands of year and not only since your birth.
God want that we love him and that no because we “have to” or if not we will go to hell or something like this. God don’t commandant love to his people that wouldn’t make sense. He gave us the free will to choose if we wane love him or not. (This is really love). But God want a relationship with us. God gave us his love and he wants a response like every one, acceptance and wants to receive love. We are made in God’s image (spiritually) and we need love and I think it’s the same with God.
He love first us. He love us in our sin, he loves us in our unbelief, he love us and we can response his love, we don’t have to give love to him and he love us, but he can not save us because we would live a sinful live and God is sinless and hate the sin. He want or love and only trough his love we can be saved.
The expression for the love of Jesus God is indescribable, he came to us to this dirty earth, full of pain and sin, only because he love us and want to save us. He knewed, how it would here on the earth, how he would die. But for him but no price was too high to come to this earth to save us. He left all his comfort in heaven and came as a pure man.
And I think for Jesus was the heaviest part on the cross as he took all our sin form as away. In Matt. 27 Is describe how god became sin. Jesus lived a perfect life, he lived without sin. But on the cross he said: ”Me God, Me God, why you have forsaken me?”. At this moment he took our sin away. This was the first and only moment he wasn’t connect with the father and he felt loneliness. God head to forsaken, beause God is holly and free form sin. At this moment Jesus paid for all our sin, Jesus became sin, that we can rightness.
In 2.Timothy 4.6 Paul reed to Timothy how he lived, and how the church there should live. He said:”I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I kept the faith.” Paul could say this, because h knew he was on the right path, he had hard times, he was in the prison but he kept the fight and this. This is so cool I want this for my live, not depended what’s happen, to trust God. I wish, that I can say the same when a become old. Paul had a very hard for God and to love got was the highest priority and he knew Jesus not only form hear from him, he knew him be experience. He saw that he had provide him, protect him.
Love God for what he is and not for what we had done. It’s the same with a friend. If you love a friend for what he has done and he do a thing wrong you will lose your love and trust in him.
It’s great, God have a very attention to us. It’s described in the parable from the lost sheep and last son. He is looking for us, we are very important for god and he is looking for every single one.
And it means anything to be a friend of Jesus. He didn’t say this because it sounds good, or that the deciplech would followed him. He said:” As the father has loved me, so I have loved you now remain my love” John 15.9. Go saw the woman at the well and he was not angry with the woman, he was not angry with the people but he hated the sin.
Before Jesus left this earth he sad to his disciple:”I am going to send you what my father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with the with power from on high. Hi didn’t leave us alone, he gave us the Holy Spirit and through him we have still contact with God.

God showed me how big his love really is. He love us so like his Father loved Jesus and das is awesome big! And I want to try this love to give my neighbor, and the people around me. And a important thing I learned was choose by God and this is really cool.


3 Question:
1. There are many scripture that express Gods desire to us to live in freedom. Why is freedom so important to the Hard of God?

Because God is a God of love, he loves every single person so it’s not so far that God is a God of freedom.

2. What fears (1. Joh 4.18) in your lives does the love of God to uproot? How can this happen?

The fear of man is probably the heaviest thing for me because everyone want to have a god image and want to be in and for me is this not easy.

3. What characteristic of the hard of God do you moast need in your live time?

I need the characteristic of grace a most. Because trough his grace we are saved and we get eternal live in heaven.
