Four Good Reasons God Loves

FOUR GOOD REASONS GOD LOVES

INTRODUCTION: THE EXTENSIVE WRITINGS OF THE PSALMS RUN THE GAMUT OF HUMAN EMOTIONS. MANY TURN TO THE PSALMS FOR ADVICE, GUIDANCE AND JOY: SOME FOR OTHER REASONS. THIS STUDY ADDRESSES FOUR OTHER REASONS.

SPIRITUAL INSIGHT:

KEY VERSES: JEREMIAH 24: 1-3

REASON #1 GOD LOVES ISRAEL: JEREMIAH 24: 4-6 GOD DID NOT AND HAS NOT DESERTED ISRAEL. HE IS A COVENANT KEEPING GOD.

REASON #2 GOD LOVES THE LOST WORLD: JOHN 3:16 (NKJV) FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. HOWEVER LITTLE YOU MIGHT CARE FOR THE MASTER, THINK ABOUT HIM OR LOVE HIM, HE STILL CARES FOR YOU. HE CARED ENOUGH TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR YOU: HE CARES ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW!

REASON # 3 GOD LOVES THE CHURCH: EPHESIANS 5:25 (NKJV) HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIFE, JUST AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR HER. BELIEVERS MUST EMBRACE THIS SCRIPTURAL TRUTH LIVED OUT EVERYDAY. REALIZE THE POWER OF CHRIST BINDING TWO HEARTS TOGETHER; THIS IS THE SAME MUTUAL RELATIONSHIP OF CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH!

REASON # 4 CHRIST’S PROOF OF LOVE WAS THE CROSS: ROMANS 5:8 (NKJV) BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. GOD GAVE ALL HE COULD TO COMMEND (TO APPROVE) HIS LOVE FOR YOU ON CALVARY.

APPLICATION: FOR GOD SO LOVED!
