The Love Of God!
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.
* There is not a word or phrase that can describe the love of God. It goes higher than any mountain, deeper than any sea, further than space, closer than your friend, stronger than gravity, richer than gold. Yes, the love of God is something else. Let us look to the scriptures to see what it has to say.
1.
Unmerited in its object; 1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.2.
Unsought in its action; Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.3.
Universal in its offer; John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.4.
Unbounded in its work; Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,5.
Unknown in its fullness; Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.6.
Unbroken in its ministry; Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.7.
Unending in its character; Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.Conclusion: Where would you be without the love of God? Thank God!
