Our response to God's love is crucial from "summary" of Crazy Love by Francis Chan
God's love for us is undeniable. It is overwhelming, relentless, and unconditional. His love knows no bounds and no limits. He loves us with a love that is beyond our comprehension. This love is evident in everything He does for us - in the blessings He showers upon us, in the protection He provides, in the grace and mercy He extends to us. But our response to God's love is crucial. It is not enough to simply acknowledge His love. We must respond to it with our whole being. We must love Him in return, with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Our love for God should be a reflection of His love for us - sacrificial, selfless, and unconditional. Our response to God's love is a reflection of our understanding of who He is and what He has done for us. It is a reflection of our faith and trust in Him. If we truly believe in the depth and breadth of God's love for us, our response will be one of love, gratitude, and obedience. Our response to God's love is also a reflection of our understanding of our own sinfulness and unworthiness. We do not deserve God's love, yet He offers it to us freely and unconditionally. When we truly grasp the magnitude of God's love for us, we cannot help but respond with humility, repentance, and gratitude. Our response to God's love is crucial because it is a matter of life and death. It is a matter of eternal significance. Our response to God's love will determine our eternal destiny. If we reject His love, if we refuse to respond to it with love and obedience, we will face the consequences of our choice. But if we accept His love, if we respond to it with love and obedience, we will experience the fullness of life that God has promised us. In light of God's overwhelming love for us, how can we do anything less than respond to it with all that we are? How can we do anything less than love Him in return, with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength? Our response to God's love is crucial. It is the most important decision we will ever make. It is a decision that will shape our lives here on earth and for all eternity.
