What does this mean? Far more than I could possibly say. But,
at the very least, it means these three things.
He loves me freely, fully, and just the way I am.
He loves me too much to leave me the way I am.
He calls me to respond to His love by following His Son,
Jesus.
Details
Grace
He loves me freely, fully, and just the way I am.
I am someone who is loved by God. I don't have to do anything
to earn His love; I can't do anything to make Him love me any more
or any less; His continued love is not dependent upon my
willingness to change, my faithfulness, or anything else on my
part; His love is not provisional or conditional. He knows
everything about me, so nothing can surprise Him or make Him
change His mind.
Transformation
He loves me too much to leave me the way I am.
God wants the very best for me, which is why He wants to
transform me into the image of His Son.
God's love for me cannot change, but my experience of His love
can change. He rewards obedience and punishes disobedience, both
because He loves me.
Discipleship
He calls me to respond to His love by following His Son,
Jesus.
Jesus called people to be His followers, His disciples. We
follow Him by getting on with His work.
The way we usually work, you have to be trained and qualified
before you are allowed to do anything. In God's Kingdom, you are
called to love and you are called to service from day one. The
training is done on the job, as you walk with Jesus.
