But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
This is good news, God loves us. He wanted to die for us. We have to know, who loves us. Who is Jesus for us? Jesus is God. He is a great God who created anything – take a look at around us, trees, flowers, grass, etc. God is fabulous who created us, sea, and anything. He would die and sacrifice for us.
God wanted to die for us. God would die for us as we were sinful. He surrendered His life for us. He died for us 2,000 years ago. He came to earth, gave His life on the cross. Before we repented, He would die for us, as He loves us so much.

Revelation 3:20.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Jesus stands infront of the door and knocks it. Jesus told this verse to us. Even though, we are Christians, does Jesus really live in our hearts? Or He just lives outside us?
Jesus wants to be our best friend. If we want joy, let us open our hearts to Jesus.
From His Word, God speaks to us.

God has a plan for all of us. Before we know, God already knows about His plan for us. God has plan for each of us before we were born.
Whoever we are, whatever our background are, but for God we are precious as He has specific plan for us. If we are here now, it is not coincidental.
God has an extraordinary calling for us. God’s calling is not limited. It is to serve the Lord. Look at His calling since it is valuable.
If we take lost people to God, it means we give great gift that is the salvation. Give the eternal lives.
