God's Love

I want to talk about the love of God today. The Bible says God's love is unfailing. Exodus 15:13 says, "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed.In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling." Psalms 130:7 speaks of God's unfailing love as well. What a comfort to know that nothing can cause him not to love us anymore. How different is this from worldly love.

The Bible says God's love abounds. Psalms 86:15 says, "But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,  slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness." Because of His abounding love he is compassionate, faithful and slow to anger. Because of His abounding love, he shows His love to all of His creation. His love is not limited to a few select people.

Also, God's love is eternal. Psalms 100:5 says, "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." This is why His love never fails. This is why His faithfulness continues."

In Proverbs 3:12 it says, "because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in." We see that God's love involves discipline. He is not some sugar daddy who is there to spoil you. He will not tolerate disobedience. He will correct us when we disobey or stray from the straight and narrow.

Yet, God has given us His all and continues to give His all to us in love. I John 4:9-10 says it in this way, " This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." We can see her is His love was not based on our love for Him and it is a sacrificial love. (See John 3:16-17 & Romans 5:8-10) Also, we see that God's love involves action. True loves is always shown in action even as faith is shown by our actions.

There is not other god who loves as the true God. We are truly blessed.
