Address “God demonstrates His Love” followed by time of quiet reflection The sermon emphasizes that being a Christian is about what God has done through Jesus Christ, not our own actions or words. Jesus was credited as righteous by God for paying the penalty of sin, even though he was without sin himself. We cannot pay the debt of our sin ourselves; it requires a perfect sacrifice, which Jesus provided as the Lamb of God. By putting our sins on Jesus and accepting him through faith, we are considered righteous in God's sight. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, our sins have been paid for, and we are set free from the penalty of sin. Faith is crucial in accepting this freedom and trusting in what Jesus and God have promised. Our trust in God should not waver, even in the face of suffering, as it produces endurance, character, and hope. God's love for us is demonstrated by Christ's death for sinners, even when we were still ungodly. We are justified and have peace with God through faith, becoming his children and sharing in his glory. Reading God's word helps us grow spiritually and deepen our faith, as it reveals the character and love of God. Suffering should not discourage or deter believers from their faith, but rather it should be seen as an opportunity for spiritual growth and an occasion to deepen our trust in God
