What Wondrous Love

What wondrous love is this oh my soul, oh my soul 
What wondrous love is this oh my soul
What wondrous loves is this that caused the LORD of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul………

Did you ever wonder why GOD bothered to make man since he knew man would sin in the Garden of Eden? Since God could foresee the future, then he obviously knew Eve was going to be deceived by Satan. Why did he even bother to make the tree of knowledge and test us? He made man for his glory. Not so they could sin.

Well it is simpler than you may think.  GOD is love! When we love, our love is focused toward something. We don’t just love air. We are really mimicking what God himself does and really how he made us to be. God said; Let us make man in our image. Why did he want us? Because he need an object for his affection. He wanted to love, and made us! But something went wrong. Sin separated us from that love. But God chose the WOMAN to bring salvation into the world. Genesis 3:15 says, “and I will put enmity between you (satan) and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He (Christ-the offspring) will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
 This verse reveals 3 important truths. Satan is the enemy of the human race, and that is why GOD put enmity or make enemies between the snake and the woman. And that the woman’s baby (Mary and the Christ Child) would deliver the deathblow to satan making a way for us to be reconciled to GOD, but in so doing, Christ will be bruised and killed in order for this to be done.  Because of God’s love he was able to forgive Eve and even use her to defeat satan’s plan to destroy us!  This is the greatest demonstration of love ever shown in the history of human kind. And is it a no wonder now that GOD IS LOVE! And my sisters, HE used WOMAN to help demonstrate that love! With love that wondrous, how can we NOT FEEL BEAUTIFUL!!!
