For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18

Sometimes you have to ask, why would God create us if He knew we would fail him miserably and disappoint Him by our disobedience? From His very first creation, Adam and Eve had it all....the most beautiful garden, full of food and shelter, yet one moment of distraction and Adam and Eve sinned. Turning away from God's clear instructions, they pursued their own pleasures and the penalty of their disobedience began for all of His creation....death. 

Yet, despite our sinful ways, God's love was shown through an unconditional act, sending His Son Jesus Christ to earth to pay mankind's sin debt. He didn't have to do it, but He knew we needed a Savior, an example to live by and the freedom to come to Him....washed clean of our sins by Jesus sacrifice. The penalty for our sins has been paid, we should be grateful and honor Him by living more righteous and uphold biblical standards. 

Does your life reflect the love of God through obedience to scripture? Are you reflecting Christ love to others? God created you in His image....be a reflection of His character and love. By doing so will impact those around you and blessings will rain down upon your life. Walk in obedience today. God bless.
