There is nothing ambiguous about God’s love. God wants nothing more than for you to know Him, so He makes Himself real to you so unity between the two of you can happen. The love that He has for you goes unmatched. There is nothing that rivals it. The one key play that proves that God truly loves you is when He sent Jesus to earth. Throughout the pages of the Bible, you read about His everlasting love that is displayed through His Son Jesus Christ.
Because of Christ’s death and resurrection, He became the key player in reuniting man with God. When the curtain tore in two, see Luke 23:44-46 and Matthew 27:51, it signified the end to the tedious ways under the law in how people related to God. You can read about it throughout the Old Testament. God opened the door for man to come freely into His presence when Jesus placed your sins and mine on Himself. He is the forever Lamb of God who takes away sin; see 1 Peter 2:24.
Jesus made Himself to be accessible while He walked the earth. He makes Himself accessible today. If you desire to know Him, He will reveal Himself to you. “No one in human history has ever been more approachable than Jesus Christ.” (Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly, page 20)
Not only is He accessible, “He is the most understanding person in the universe.” (Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly, page 19) Study the four gospels and see just how understanding He is. People questioned Him, interrogated Him, tried to confuse Him (those who rejected His Lordship), but to no avail. He healed everyone that wanted to be healed. He spoke with authority. He taught the scriptures with clarity and purpose. He loved with an unambiguous love, and He still does today. There are no strings attached to what He has to offer you and me.
Open arms is what you will receive when you go to Jesus.
In Mark 5:21-43, a man named Jairus had a big prayer. Read this passage and see how Jesus helped him. On the way to Jairus’ house, Jesus helped a woman who was at her wits end with an illness. Because of Jesus’ unambiguous love, these two people along with thousands of others had their prayers answered. Fast forward to today and God has probably answered prayers that would be in the trillions or more!
Check out these examples: In John 8:1-11, a woman was caught in an act of adultery and brought in front of Jesus. Read how Jesus corrected His opponents as He loved on her. In John 4, you read about the lovingkindness of the Lord with a woman at a well in the heat of the day. In John 5, a lame man can’t help himself so Jesus steps in and takes care of Him. In John 6, Jesus feeds a rather large crowd of people from a few fish and some bread. Where else in God’s Word do you find God’s love, grace, and mercy?
What needs do you have? Jesus can help you. He is very willing to do so as long as you believe and have faith that He knows what is best for you. When you approach Jesus with a surrendered will, He works tirelessly for you. There is no mountain in your life too high for God to take down. There is nothing that goes unanswered where God is concerned.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost has the answer for whatever is ailing you spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Because of His unambiguous love, you can rest in His open arms knowing He is leading you home.
