Romans 5:8
But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

To understand what the Father’s love looks like, you need to remember that you used to be God’s enemy. You used to be on the wrong side of the war, wearing the enemy’s colors. And Jesus, God’s Son, saw you. And even though He knew everything you ever did, He still walked right up to you during the battle and took the death arrow that was bound for your heart. That’s what the Father’s love looks like. His deep, unconditional love for you.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.

When you surrendered your life to Christ, that was the day you died. Your old self—your sins, your fears, your past—were, in a sense, nailed to the cross. And this act of surrender now signifies a new beginning where Christ’s life flows through you. It’s no longer just you trying to live this life, it’s Jesus living in you helping you each and every day.

Exodus 3:14
God said to Moses, I AM who I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.

When God had the opportunity to give Himself a name so that His people would know who He was, He didn’t answer with a typical one. Instead, He answered with His eternal nature. Because He knew if He gave them any name, it would quickly become an idol. So, the name He gave them was infused with who He really was, and is, and always will be… the Great I AM.

Isaiah 46:9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God and there is none like Me.

There are about 8 billion people in the world, but even if you got to meet each and every one, no one would be like God. He is perfect. And if you forget how incredible He is, just look at His track record. It’s filled with His miraculous provision, unconditional love, and divine forgiveness because He is a God who always keeps His promises.

1 Corinthians 13:3
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

You could give everything you have to the poor, and God says you would still gain nothing. Because giving isn’t just about sharing what you have in your hands or around your house, it’s about sharing what you have in your heart. And if your heart is looking for praise, Paul says, don’t do it. Giving should always be motivated by love.

Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul.

Jim Carrey once said, I wish everyone could get rich and famous and have everything they ever dreamed of, so they could see that’s not the answer. So, even if you gained the whole world, the Bible says without God, you still come up empty. But if you do the opposite and empty yourself for God, Jesus says you’ll gain in every way.
