We’re excited to share our first new AFReG devotional called “Jesus’ Love.” As we do, we can’t help but recall our AFReG 5 Conference in Jamaica, where our AFReG community from the continent and Diaspora gathered. In Jamaica, we heard about God using AFReG to carry out His transforming work, with amazing impacts across diverse spheres of societal influence, from Christ-centered national prayer efforts to political renewal and leadership development around the globe! What a perfect illustration of Jesus’ love…God’s divine sovereign grace enacted through the person of His Son Jesus, and those disciples, like those found in AFReG, committed to that love finding expression, “…on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10, KJV)
It shouldn’t surprise us that Jesus’ love is an expansive, inclusive demonstration of God’s heart. This expansive and inclusive love is definitively declared in Scripture:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16, NKJV)
Jesus’ love for us as Savior and Lord is neither narrow in its divine scope nor exclusive in its salvation opportunity. Jesus’ love for us is as expansive as the Father’s heart for all the souls of this “world” to know Him and as inclusive as “whoever” would receive His Son in their heart.
As a Christ-empowered community, AFReG prays that our efforts in the many diverse, society-impacting spheres to which we are called will always reflect a love that impacts the world and touches every soul, wherever we find them.
Each one of you plays a huge role in impacting those around you.
May that be our testimony as we live out Jesus’ love in the Christ-filled seasons ahead, for our good, but especially for His glory!
