God's love is…
- Demonstrated – John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
- Who is loved – Psalms 37:28 “For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones…”
- Unfailing – Psalms 26:3 “For I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.”
- Dimensions of His love – Psalms 57:10 “For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”
- Unending – Psalms 103:17 “But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear Him and his righteousness with their children’s children.”
- God's delight – Psalms 147:11 “The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.”
- Circumstances – Romans 8:39 “Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Because of His love, I
can believe:
- Matthew 7:7, Luke 11: 9- 13 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Because of His love, I
can expect:
- Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
Because of His love, I
can receive:
- 1 John 5:14-15 “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.”
- Matthew 7:11 “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
He loves me not because of who I am, what have
done or what I didn't do but because of my relationship with Him, I'm his
son/daughter! My love for Him doesn't reach the dimension of His love for
me nor can it till we see Him face to face, maybe then we will be able to
understand more fully what His love for us really means... Understanding
His love for me helps me trust him and have faith in His promises.
