Mentioning Christmas, every christian knows that it's a festival to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Here I'd like to share the Bible scripture about God's love, it will let us enjoy the peace and happiness Lord bestowed, meanwhile, we can understand God's will for all of us.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

(Mt 18:12-14) “How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”


What a deeply God's love for us!

1. God's love!

(Mt 18:21-22) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus said to him, I say not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

(Mt 22:37-39) Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Seeing your post, My heart was moved deeply. Yes, That we enjoy today is exchanged by the blood of the Lord Jesus, it's your sharing that let me think of these above verses of Bible, From these we can see the request of God for the believers, he asked us to be the one who love God and love one's neighbor as oneself. I often think that the teachings of the Lord Jesus is indeed beneficial to the people, and I know I should go hold, but sometimes, I really can not it. I am also troubled for this thing, I often commit sins by day and confess sins at night. Just like today, I had an appoint with a sister to do something together, but when I arrived the place that we appointed, she suddenly changed her mind. I was very angry, I thought about that we had an appoint a few days ago , how could you change it? My heart was very contradict, so my attitude was not good to her, although I know I have done wrong, but I was unable to control it. But just now I saw your post, I thought the Lord Jesus told people to “love your neighbor as yourself”, I very regret for my performance today, When I think the Lord came to the world to suffered the pain and saved us personally, and finally crucified on the across, there is a very guilty feeling in my heart . I hate myself why can't I do according to God's requires.
The Bible says,“For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins.”(bbe Hebrews 10:26) I don't know what I should do. How do you think about this?
