How do Jesus` words make you feel? You may want to save your answer as Private
Jesus` words gives me hope. It makes me happy. It is what keeps me going through each day. Sometimes I get tired of all the evil in me and all around me but when I read the Gospels my strength is renewed. I thought I was a born loser but Jesus changed all that negative thinking. He showed me that I am loved by my Maker and that makes me a winner. ''Imagine I can call the Creator of the universe my father! And His love for me is immeasurable'' I want to tell others of His love...

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
When I was in fifth grade, a pastor visited our class. He talked about God and His son Jesus Christ who can save us from eternal damnation. Prior to the visit, I already knew that Jesus died on the cross and died for our sins. But I only had a vague idea why He needed to do that. Moreover, the God I knew from childhood was a strict judge who hurls souls of very bad people''murderers, terrorists, adulterers'' to the lake of fire; who forgives not so bad people''ocassional liars, petty thieves'' after saying repeated prayers and bloody penitence; and who rewards the title Saint to good people who followed the Ten Commandments without fail. When I first heard that faith in Jesus after all is the only way to God, my emotions ranged from doubt, to surprise, to amazement, then to happiness and hope. My little mind cannot contain that God can forgive both murderers and mischievous girls. But despite my little faith, I prayed the sinner`s prayer and accepted Jesus as my Saviour. Now as I look back on that beautiful morning, I realized that I started to love God more and more. There are times when my weaknesses, sins, and other people condemn me but at the end of the day, when I am alone in my room with God, I approach the throne of grace with Jesus and ask for God`s mercy. With all the wickedness in the world I sometimes wonder how a Holy God can repeatedly forgive sinners including me...God is indeed Love! That`s why I my love for Him increases... When I was still a sinner, I try to stop sinning for fear of damnation and to earn a place in heaven, when I was saved I follow my Father`s commandments because it is what pleases Him. I`m doing it not out of obligation but out of love for Him...

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
Bieng forgiven increases ones love for God by knowing that God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ and that Christ suffered and rose again from the dead and by this our sins were forgiven and whoever believes in Christ shall not perish but have eternal life, does not come under judgement but has passed from death to life.

A sin really makes a person suffocated if he really understands its gravity..To forgive a sin is an awesome nature which only our god can do.When we are forgiven , we are truly relieved and starts look at the world in a different way.Then we start loving God not the way we used to do before.Its much much more than that.We also come to believe that only a loving heart can forgive sins..Yes as Jesus taught, God`s forgiveness is motovated by love. And if the word is truly understood we know Jesus come to this world not to punish us but to save us..Aren`t we blessed to be the children of such loving God who gave his only begotten son to be crucified for us and thus save us from our sins?

God forgives
Being forgiven increase one`s love for God, because one does not deserve what Christ did. To know that he was willing to die for me because his love is more than I can ask. My love would grow because of God`s love for me, in providing someone to pay the prize for my wrong doings.

The word forgive comes after something wrong has been done. Being forgiven therefore increases ones love for God in a way that however much one has wronged, God is ever forgiving. Then eventually one has to increase his love to the one who is ever forgiving.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." ( John 3:16-17)

"Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life." ( John 5:24)

"The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a certain king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. And when he had begun to settle them, there was brought to him one who owed him ten thousand days wages. But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold a, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made. The slave therefore falling down, prostrated himself before him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you everything.' And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt. ( Matthew 18:23-35)
