Devotional - The Eternal Love of Christ - Revelation 1:4-6

Revelation 1:4-6
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Devotional: Let's reflect on the enduring love of Christ. The passage describes Jesus as the one "who loves us" in the present continuous tense, emphasizing that His love is not just a past event but an ongoing reality. This love led Him to free us from our sins by His blood, demonstrating its sacrificial nature.

Consider how this eternal, unchanging love impacts your daily life. In moments of doubt or struggle, remember that Christ's love for you remains constant, regardless of your circumstances or performance. How might your actions and attitudes change if you truly embraced this unconditional love?

Take time today to meditate on God's love for you. How can you respond to this love in your relationships with others? Ask God to help you grasp the depth of His love and to empower you to extend that love to those around you.
