1Pe 1:8 You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy.
Is it possible to love someone you have not seen? What is it about Christ that compels us to love Him having not seen Him physically? What is it about Christ that would make us even take notice of Him?
First, His love was displayed to us by the giving of himself. His love was express in sacrificial gift of His life. (John 3:16)
Second, His death set us free from the chains of sin. We are no longer slaves to sin, but to Christ. (Romans 6:17-18)
Third, He experienced the life of a human. He lived 33 years among His creation with temptation breathing down His neck. He did this so He could comfort me in my times of temptation and affliction in this life. (Hebrews 2:6-9)
Fourth, He allows me to have fellowship with Him. Christ bridged the gap between God and us. (1 Corinthians 1:9)
The list of the ways God showed His love for us is unending, but the statement remains, “You love Him though you have not seen Him” Why?
We love [Him] because He first loved us. [1 John 4:19]
How do you express that love to Him? What about those who haven’t experienced His love?
