THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL LOVE OF CHRIST

   *JESUS LOVES YOU UNCONSTITUTIONALLY* 



Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.

The mountains may shift, and the hills may be shaken, but my faithful love won’t shift from you, and my covenant of peace won’t be shaken,’ says the Lord, the one who pities you.” — Isaiah 54:10

All of our “good days even our very best days, still need God’s grace, because God’s standard of judgment is his glory — a standard to which we all fall short. Even the Spirit-filled fruit of our faith in Christ is still tainted with mixed motives and woefully incomplete compared with his righteousness.


As for our “bad days,” even our very worst days in Christ, don’t alienate us from God’s favor, cause him to love us less, or diminish our Father’s ultimate delight in us. Our worst days don’t put us in the doghouse of shame and penance but in our Father’s house of grace and redemption through faith.


It’s only as we understand just how really bad our condition is that we begin to cherish the gospel and experience the joy of our salvation. 


God’s law demands a perfect righteousness that only Jesus’s obedience could meet (Romans 8:3–4). This is why it is critical we understand that Jesus came to be our substitute to trust, before he is our model to follow.


Before dying on the cross to take the judgment we deserve, Jesus provided the obedience that we owed. Jesus didn’t come to be our second chance, but to be the second Adam *(1 Corinthians 15:45)* , doing for us what we could never do for ourselves. In this sense, alone, we can talk about being justified by works — *Jesus’s finished work for us.*

JESUS LOVES YOU UNCONSTITUTIONALLY


Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Heart that can't find love

  Love is a beautiful and powerful emotion that has the ability to bring immense joy and fulfillment into our lives. However, for some individuals, the fear of having their heart broken can prevent them from fully embracing and accepting true love. A fragile heart, one that has been hurt in the past or is afraid of being hurt in the future, may put up walls and barriers to protect itself from potential pain. This fear can manifest in various ways, such as avoiding vulnerability, pushing people away, or sabotaging relationships before they have a chance to develop. When someone with a fragile heart encounters true love, they may struggle to accept it. They may question the sincerity of their partner's feelings, doubt their own worthiness of love, or fear that opening themselves up to love will only lead to heartbreak. In reality, true love requires vulnerability and trust. It requires letting down your guard and allowing yourself to be fully seen and accepted by another person. For

In This article is the explanation of the difference between DESTINY and PURPOSE              DESTINY AND PURPOSE The word DESTINY is a complex statement. Destiny cannot be changed,and people buy into the notion that since destiny cannot be changed,then anything that happens in a man's life is the will of God  but the word of God said in the book of    Deuteronomy 30:19 , I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. meaning that God gave us a will, whatever path we choose we bear the consequences Adam and  eve were in the garden of Eden, God did not destined that they corrupt the nature of human race, but he put in the garden the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil  But they choose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil and they bear the consequences In destiny there is no will,we are help
