The Love of God

November 3, 2013

Keep yourselves in the love of God . . .
–Jude 21

The Bible is a revelation of the fact that God is love. Many people misunderstand the attribute of God’s nature which is love. “God is love” does not mean that everything is sweet, beautiful, and happy, and that God’s love could not possibly allow punishment for sin.

When we preach justice, it is justice tempered with love. When we preach righteousness, it is righteousness founded on love. When we preach atonement, it is atonement planned by love, provided by love, given by love, finished by love, necessitated because of love. When we preach the resurrection of Christ, we are preaching the miracle of love. When we preach the return of Christ, we are preaching the fulfillment of love.

No matter what sin you have committed, or how terrible, dirty, or shameful it may be, God loves you. This love of God is immeasurable, unmistakable, and unending!

Prayer for the day

My heartfelt gratitude to You, Father, for Your forgiveness and love. I must be acutely aware that in all my dealing with others the only yardstick I have is Your immeasurable love.

I truly admire Mr Graham for keeping the faith and being such a fine teacher for us all. I truly regret that I have yet to fully adhere to his teachings on behalf of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I pray for strength and guidance.

How vast, how wide, how high is God's love for you and me!

Christendom says 11.3.2011, 07:59 a.m.

Lord thou are above and beyond human measure, truly an incredible act to follow, perfect in all your ways. As for me, I struggle continually with fleshly desires, such as difficulty loving an enemy, and doing good to person who despise, use me and deny me of my rights; i confess that I am a sinner lacking in so many ways: i need more grace to live a blameless life in you:

Prisca says 11.3.2011, 07:55 a.m.

AMEN, Nothing can separate us from the love of God. (see Romans 8:38,39)

Darla says 11.3.2011, 07:47 a.m.

Praise God! I needed that today.

Sheila says 11.3.2011, 07:25 a.m.

Yes - His love is beyond our comprehension I suspect. I know how much I love my Mother and Father and my four-legged babies but He loves me MORE! WOW! Now that is amazing.

God is the Potter and he is very lovingly molding and shaping his precious Clay. We are that clay. He pays close attention to every unique detail. No two masterpieces are the same. There is no measure to calculate the amount of Love that he puts into each special creation. Thank you Lord for your extraordinary Love.

We cannot imagine what God's Love really is!
