No Greater Love


No greater love has ever been demonstrated,
but by the One who was despised and rejected.
He came to earth to fulfill the Father’s plan,
for only He was the perfect lamb for salvation.
Salvation full and free for a lost and depraved people,
who are always in pursuit and enslaved to all that is evil.
Yet, God chose to love us though sinful were we,
He showed us how much on the cross of Calvary.
His wrath He poured out on His Beloved for our sake,
for holiness demands justice which He cannot forsake.
Why would God choose to sacrifice Himself for you and me?
Why did He not sentence us to death and hell for all of eternity?
It is what we deserve but instead He chose to demonstrate love,
and there is no greater love than that which came from above.

John 15:13 
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.

Romans 5:8
But God shows His love for us in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us.
