Daily Devotion Monday July 12

God has gone to great lengths to demonstrate to us that the violation of liberty does not restore love.

​Remember when He sent the flood across the entire earth? Or how He forced different tongues on the people who built the Tower of Babel? What about the great plagues? Or think about Lucifer, God did not force him to conform. God did not use his power to punish and destroy him. 

​God understands love requires freedom. Are we forced to love anyone today? Or do we love people freely? Anything that violates our freedom leads to rebellion and destruction of love. Christ laid down His life on purpose and gave His freedom up for love. He did all this for us. Because of this, we became known as a rebellion and shared God's word. Today we are known as the rebellion called Christians.
