What would life be like that is without God?

How many times in my life — especially in difficult times — have I declared out loud, “I just don’t know what I would would do without The LORD, I need Him so much.”?

As you will see, the difference is profound between a life WITH God and one WITHOUT God.

The difference is expressed in one word, “Love.”

Doesn’t God love everyone, you might ask?

Yes, it is true that God loves everyone.

In John 3 we read,

“For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

Yes, He made the ultimate sacrifice for you so you might not be without Him.

God is good to all. But….. there is a difference in God loving you, and you knowing and experiencing that Love (that only God can give) in your life for yourself.

This Love God has for his children is sooooooooooooo great and extraordinary!

Everyone needs Love — to be Loved and to show Love to others.

And God needs our love, too! It is a basic need we all have.

How can someone show Love when they don’t know what love is?

There are different types of Love in the world that you can experience, and there are many pleasures to be had in the world, but only one kind of love that can only be found in relationship with God himself, for God is love.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? …….
……. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 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.” Romans 5:35, 37-39.

This LOVE of God, the world knows “nothing of”….. those who are WITHOUT GOD.

What they see of creation reveals His glory and tells them of His love for them, at least in part.

But unless one is “in Christ Jesus our LORD,” born again in Him, a man cannot truly know the love of God.

The verses above in Romans reveals that those “in Christ Jesus our Lord” can never be separated from His LOVE.

No matter what you are going through or how hard the times, you will still experience and know the LOVE OF GOD.

This Love is complete, full, and is always there.

GOD IS LOVE, and you can have that LOVE, HIM, IN TOTALITY…… FOREVER.

There is no one else on the earth that can offer a love like this. Human love cannot even come close to the LOVE of God, for God’s love is ETERNAL.

There is no one, or nothing, no distance, that can separate you from His love or take you away from it. He is with you always, continually. Even death cannot separate you from Him for “absent from the body present with The LORD.”

Those without God are “already separated from Him” because of their sin.

Without Jesus as mediator and His shed blood applied to your life, and your sins forgiven, it is impossible to know Him.

Jesus is the one who bridges the gap between God and man and restores that broken relationship.

Death for those WITHOUT GOD is even further separation from Him and His love, it is eternal damnation, hell, forever WITHOUT HIM!

You might say today, “Well, I don’t believe a loving God would send anyone to hell!”

Hell is an eternal place made for the devil and his demons. A person ends up in hell when he rejects God and HIS LOVE that was shown on The Cross.

It was not made for you and me at all. And, God has done everything in His power and by His Love to keep you from that place by making the ultimate sacrifice in sending His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in your place as payment for your sin, the sin that separates you from Him.

But because you are made in His image, you will spend eternity somewhere. So, He has given you a choice, and that choice will determine your destiny.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one……..
……. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:10-12, 23.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” Romans 5:6-10.

It is His LOVE that enables you to overcome and be victorious in every situation.

Because He LOVES you, you have God Himself, by His Holy Spirit, in our corner fighting for you so you can be your best.

Those without Him and His Love does not have this help in life.

You may look for Love and Fulfillment in other people, in your work, and in your activities.

But, only god can fill this empty place in your heart, he is the one who formed you and knows exactly what you need, for you are made in His image for a great purpose.

Wouldn’t it be horrible to never know your real worth or purpose?

To not know the One who created you and gave you life?

Being without God without His Love, would sure be a lonely and empty life, and it would be a life lacking in hope, and peace.

“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:12-13.

I’m so glad you don’t have to be without Him and His Love.

For it is by His Grace that you are saved, it is a free gift of His Love to you.

Now the choice is yours………………… Will you say yes to Him and His gift?

Perhaps you are one reading this message, looking for God, looking for Love….

Why not call out to Him right now, He has been waiting for you with arms open wide, He wants to shower your life with the Love you are longing for.

All you have to do is say, “God I need you, come into my heart right now so I don’t have to be without You ever again!”
