See how
very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what
we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are
God’s children because they don’t know Him. (1 John 3:1)
For God is Love, 1
Jn 4:8:
this is how John describes God. Notice, he didn’t say that he had love or that
he can have love, but that He is love; He doesn’t try to love, He does not
struggle to love, He is Love, He is the description of it, and He is the
fullness of it. I learnt from study that love is the most exalted nature of
God; all His mighty acts are acts of love. He does things because He loves us.
Many people may not readily accept the fact that everything that God does is because
of love, 1 Jn 4:10.
God
a loving father; he caters for all His children Jer 31:3.
This love ensures that the running systems of the world is maintained, it is
why we all have sunshine, rainfall, snow, water, oxygen and every other needful
thing Ps
36:5.
God blesses our land to give their increase all the time in other that we might
have food, he gives warm climate for us to live in, the right mixture of air
that would sustain our Earth life. As a father
the Lord nurtures us and ensures that we move on progressively till we reach
the place and day of perfection, Phil 4:19.
There
is more to this love than we know or can accept in our present reality. The
depth of this love exceeds the other physical things that we mentioned earlier;
the depth of love was expressed in God’s redemption of man, Jn
3:16.
Redemption was necessary for us to be reclaimed as God’s children; this is the
depth of love, and it was hidden for ages but revealed in Jesus.
The
man that does not know God would never know the depth of God’s real love, which
is why the new birth is important; it prepares us to know the depth of God’s
love towards us. If you still live in sin and have not given your life to
Christ, you will never know the depth of God’s love towards you, you will never
enjoy his love in its fullness, there is more to life than the eyes can see.
John3:16 says for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believed on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Firstly God extend His love toward everybody in the world
ReplyDeleteSecondly only those who believed Him graciously or received Him graciously John1:12 can only know the depth of love toward them. God is love Himself 1John4:8. This show that everything about Him is love. This is the reason we should show love to each other and love God in return and ensure we don't give Him heartache any more by not committing sin again. By accepting Jesus as our Lord and savour and forsake our old ways show clearly that we accept his love and the love is also embedded in us. May we not reject this amazing love that God has given to us in Jesus name
God bless you sir. Absolutely right
