TOPIC: IS THE LOVE OF GOD THAT DRAWS PEOPLE (TREM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 4TH FEBRUARY 2019)
“We love him because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 KJV
The Church must begin to leverage on the love of God for her. It is the love of God that draws people to God, not His holiness! If you read the book of Luke chapter 5, where Simon that was later called Peter first encountered Jesus, you will notice that God first showed him love. Then eventually when Peter found out that this God he was dealing with is holy, he said to God: “depart from me.” He said, “go away from me.” The two of us can never agree. You are holy so stay in your corner. Don’t bother me. And Jesus said to him: Look, stop running from me, I have a greater purpose for your life. The holiness of God made him run from God.
