Enemies
Seeking Him by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, brought to you in SASL by Revive Our Hearts South Africa.
This devotional illustrates the extraordinary nature of God’s love by comparing it with a general who pardons an enemy prisoner and then treats him as a son. The central biblical truth comes from Romans 5:10, which states that “while we were still enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son.” Nancy acknowledges humanity’s rebellion against God while emphasizing that God loved sinners even in that condition. The reference to John 3:16 further emphasizes that God demonstrated His love by giving His Son. Christ’s self-sacrifice is presented as the supreme demonstration of God’s love toward His enemies.
