Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her – Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)

There are many Christians who have a cynical view of the church, but it is important to admit that many of our negative views of the church are responses to abuses that we have seen or experienced first hand. If Christ loves the church so much that He gave himself up for her, how much more should we love the church? Don’t let human failings hinder you from God’s heart. Renew your love for the people of God today.
