Knowledge & Love

“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘son your sins are forgiven’” Mark 2:5

There comes a point in our Christian walk where we get so caught up in the knowledge of Christ that we forget about his love. As if dieing on the cross 2000 years ago was not enough, he comes to us daily and shows us mercy and love. The amazing thing about his unconditional love is that he wants to have an intimate relationship with us. At times we can become “paralyzed” by our personal struggles. The wonderful thing about our loving God is that, just like he touched the man in this verse, he wants to touch each one of our individual hearts daily and say, “my child, I have always loved you, and your sins are forgiven.” It is vital that we never forget the importance of his love, because without that, there would be no salvation. No matter how much knowledge we gain in Christ, it all comes down to his love.
