We Can Experience Love Because God is Gracious
A recent survey asked, "If you could say in one word what you want more of in life, what would that be?" Very surprisingly, LOVE didn't even make the top 10! Could it be that money and fleeting happiness have replaced the need for love in our lives?
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar concludes the Advent Series as he talks about the truth that because God is gracious, we can experience love in the deepest ways.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
The final look at four eternal truths about God that transforms us. (The 4 G's)
Why we don’t know or understand true love in our lives and relationships.
How we no longer have to perform for God, and why we don’t get to.
Why it's important to understand what we actually deserve from God.
Get started here…
From this episode:
“When we don’t believe we have God’s grace, we try to prove ourselves to other people. I want other people to be impressed by me. We may want to fit in or get other people’s approval. I want to earn their love. And we certainly don’t want other people finding out what we’re like inside. We wear masks to hide our real selves from people. Wearing the mask can be a great strain: it’s like acting a role all the time. But we dare not let other people see us as we really are.”

Do you enjoy living this way? The answer to the fear of man in our lives is a bigger understanding of the fear of God and his true glory. For those who trust Jesus, the fear of God no longer involves terror, he’s our Father and we come before him with confidence through Christ."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
