The reason I love Jesus Christ so much is that He first loved me so much that He forgave my sin when I confessed it to Him and then He cleaned me up and made me whole again.
People love to remember our sins as though we are still the person they loved to hate, but God forgets our sin and buries it in the deepest sea never to be held against us again.
1 John 4:18-20 "…18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.…"
1 John 4:7-9 "7Beloved, let us love one another because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world so that we might live through Him."
No one can love and forgive like God can, no person will ever do what Christ did for us.
2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award me on that day, and not only to me but to all who have loved his appearing."
Everyone who has trusted Christ and loves Him can say what Paul said in 2 Timothy.
