BY DRAKE DE LONG- FARMER We looked in Part 1 of why Love Alone Is Worth The Fight--that Love is arguably the most powerful force in the universe. That the one thing that fully sets us free is love. Another reason why Love Alone Is Worth The Fight is: Love Came To Earth--Love Alone Was Worth The Fight For God.
This reality should blow our minds, that "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) Don't under estimate the power of that verse. Let it sink in and think through the implications of it. From the beginning God had put into motion His cosmic rescue mission, the wasteful and extravagant pursuit for His lost children and the creation that had been subjected to the cancer of sin. So, simply put: Love Alone Is Worth The Fight, because it was worth the fight to God. "This is the message we hold, this is what is important to our creator, this is the mission that He invites us to continue until He returns and this changes everything." So not only are we motivated by the love we receive from God and that love we receive changes us from the inside, but also the motivation of seeing ourselves, other people and and the world in the eyes of God Himself. He saw enough worth in what He created that He fought for it. Furthermore, We need to realize that the mission of Love is our mission to, because if the creator of all things was willing to give it all and fight this fight for love, we should take notice. God was willing not only to seek us out through out the pages of time and seek and save the lost while we were still sinners, but He gave it all up. He paid the ultimate price and taking our place and giving it all and by laying down His own life for us, He ultimately wins the fight of Sin, Satan and Death and sets us free, destroying the cancer that has permeated in this world and ultimately welcomes us home. This is the message we hold, this is what is important to our creator, this is the mission that He invites us to continue until He returns and this changes everything. Part 3: This Changes Everything
