Today’s Thought “Because HE’S Marvelous!” G. Ward

1 John 4:9 “By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.”

The deity of Christ is a real standout here; particularly since this is God’s Holy Word, so many call on as absolute. To deny that Christ was in earth (through prophetic mission even – Isa.53:2-5, Micah 5:2-4), as God in the flesh (*John 1:1-3,14) is faithlessness (John 14:6) and to believe this unadulterated actuality (from our passage), yet walk without HIS attitude (1 John 2:6) also denies HIM and whereas some mindsets in defense will immediately seek to adjourn to some good qualities they possess, along with their personal benevolence onto others, marginalizes the grace HE gave and changes the meaning of the most significant, unchanging pardon of sins provided. Absolutely no words in concert with that Great Sacrifice, can extol HIM as entirely sufficient (i.e., requiring no additional works from mere man), yet TODAY is given to offer re-direction; for HIS love continues.
