Can Jesus love someone like me?
Yes He
can.
Jesus
loves us so much that he bore all of our sin on the cross.
A lot of
people think that God can't love them because of what they
have done with their lives in the past. But God wants for
us to confess our sin and He would remember them no more.
No matter what we have done, if we confess our sins and
repent of them, we will receive full pardon through
Christ.
If
we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness. 1 John1:9.
Some
people might think God does not love them because they are
sinners and God does not love sin. While this may be true,
God loves us above our sins. He died for the sins we have
committed that even as sinner through Him we may inherit
eternal life.
That is
how much God loves us.
But
God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we
were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans
5:8
See...the
problem is not that God does not love us or does not
forgive us, it is that we chose not to accept the love and
forgiveness that God has readily waiting for us.
Here
I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my
voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with him
and him with me. Revelation
3:20
You
see...God will not force the door open, we must open it.
Once it is open you will know and feel the love that God
has for you.
