19 We love because He first loved us. ~ 1 John 4:19
Christianity is a unique religion. It’s the only religion in the world that makes it a point to say that God loves all of His creation. That He loves all of mankind. Not just those that follow Him. Not just those who are doing good and obeying the rules. Not just those who are worthy and pure, but all of His creation. Everyone.
That’s unique. That’s specific to Christianity. Why? Because no other God has gotten off of His throne to make a way for all of humanity to be saved. For each and every person, regardless of their past, to have an opportunity to be saved. That is why we can boldly say our God is love (1 John 4:8). Because He is love, He loves. And because He first loved us, we in turn can love.
This is the difference between our God and all other gods. We are fearfully and wonderfully made by a loving God. That is something to rejoice over. It is something to praise God for. We serve a God like no other.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Love Because He Does.
