How did your study on the doctrine of Christ give you a deeper love for the Savior?
-
For me this opens the doorway to deeper understanding of what Jesus has done for me. This discourse also challenges me to examine the life I am leading for Jesus.

I was able to see that Jesus gave all there was for our redemption which God the Father had planned for all our sins.

Through the study of the doctrine of Christ, I know that Jesus Christ is God, but he is willing to come down to earth to identify with us, taking on the body of flesh and blood, enduring all the limitation of a human life. This acts show his great love for us. He came to save us from our sin and to give us eternal life and be a model for us to follow in his way. HE came to reveal God the Father to us.
All these makes me grateful to Jesus Christ and to love him more. Being human, he is able to understand my struggles, and as God, he is able to help me overcome my weaknesses and to submit to God’s will. -
As I reflect on how Jesus Christ, though fully God, should stoop so low to die a condemned criminal’s death on a cross, solely out of love for me, I’m touched and know I can never repay this love. The words of an old hymn come to my mind in worship:
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died He for me, who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
He left His Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
Tic mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me!
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, should die for me? -
It’s so easy to forget that Christ is constantly working on our behalf. This was a great reminder.
