Unconditional Love Eternal
Wondering why the “Saint” is now often dropped from the name of today’s holiday, I searched the net to learn more about St. Valentine’s day. Though no source could pinpoint a single origin of the holiday, I did learn that there were 3 christian martyrs by the name of Valentine. Isn’t it interesting that Cupid, the Roman god of erotic love, is the symbol for a holiday named after Christian martyrs?
I made this banner to remind me why I know I am loved eternally:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” That’s from the Bible’s book of John, 3rd chapter, 16th verse.
If you’re not familiar with the Bible, there is another book in it called 1 John that is based on a letter the apostle John wrote. Take a look at the 3rd chapter and 16th verse of this book:
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” Yesterday I realized the that the 3rd chapter, 16th verse of each book has the same amazing point!
Lastly, I want to share a favorite verse that was included in my wedding ceremony:
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. (1John 4:10)
