His love payed the price

Love lost something very precious when Adam and Eve rebelled and believed the lie Satan told her.  Their hearts and minds were captured by a lie. Love is not warring against people, but against selfishness, hatred, fear, and ignorance. If Love went to war, how would Love fight? Love wages war not by destroying its enemies, but by winning them over, converting them to Truth.  Love never harms those it takes captive. When Love wins a battle, there are no casualties, only winners. Love's war is for truth to prevail. Lies from the enemy have kept God's children in bondage, but truth sets people free. The devil's tactics, which remain the same today. His first statement to Adam and Eve was to say that what God told them was not true. Then he implied that God was acting selfishly by withholding what would benefit them, insinuating that God did not really care for them. Ever since the Garden of Eden, Satan has continued feeding mankind false propaganda  simple because Satan knows that we are the apple of God's eye meaning that hates because God like any real father decided to do whatever he could to offer his sons and daughters a chance to return to him.  Satan, however is a liar and a murder from the beginning! Love could not win the argument with just words.  An action was required. God needed to disprove all the devil's lies. God wanted us to know that he loved no one more than his creation. "Let us make man in our own image" so you see we were loved from the beginning this is the reason why God became a man, and why He died on the cross at Calvary. It is impossible to prove you are not an uncaring dictator by issuing decrees. You can only demonstrate that you have an unselfish, loving nature by actions. Jesus won the decisive battle at Calvary, but not everyone
clearly understands yet what happened there. When everyone knows the full truth, the war will be over. God does not force His deliverance, blessing, and love on people, but allows us all to make choices. Many don't yet believe God is good and loves them. But Love is determined to win the hearts of humanity. And Love will not fail!

  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
