The Way-Jesus has done for us we could not have.

Around the world different cultures make ways to celebrate relationships in different ways, such as in United States (and I'm sure other places) Valentines day marks the love between two people. Nations mark relation with treaties and in several other ways. But what about relations with God you say? God has his own way of setting relation. One of the first ways God showed he will not abandon us despite our fall and continued sin is through the rainbow which is a sign that after the great flood is his sign of restored relations saying that kind of global destruction will ever happen again (at least not by God's hands. God's creation is beautiful as he creates the sun, the moon, all the creatures of the land and water, and more. Then he creates humans and they are very good, however after the fall of man we realize that our relationship with God had been severely damaged. Though God would not leave us this way though because he loves us. God sent his son Jesus Christ into the world so he might save it, and he does save us. Through the Cross-his blood and sacrifice as the perfect Passover lamb he saves us from our sins, saves us from the death meant for us. His love changes the world and changes us and he restores the relation that was broken between God and humans. We see this at our Baptism in a special way after we are baptized into Christ we here you are my beloved, as in we adopted into God's family and through Jesus we are made into children of God. We cant love God unless we really know he loves us, which is made obvious through his sacrifice for us and the Word says We love him because he loved us first. God Bless.
