God's Love

Summary: God’s love for all His children.
“God’s love for His children.”
Everybody talks about love. But most of the “love they’re discussing falls far short of the real thing. “God’s love for His children.”
God loves with a love beyond human comprehension. He knows everything about you – your needs, your desires, and your dreams – and wants the best for you. That’s why He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on a cross for our sins. Through good times and bad. God will always be with you, loving you more than you could ever imagine.
God’s kind of love is unearthly and powerful stuff. And God did more than just talk about love; He showed us:
“For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
Do you believe that?
Remember:
No one and nothing offers the kind of love that God has for you
Love involves real relationship God – wants to have a relationship with you.
God loves you so much that he sent his Son to die for you.
Do you know anyone else who would make such a sacrifice?
God’s love offers forgiveness, security, and comfort;
Romans 8:38-39 says-
“Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Death can’t and life can’t. The angels can’t and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
If you have not experienced this kind of unearthly love, God invites you to come and see if it’s the very thing for which your heart has been yearning.
“For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.”
Prayer for Salvation
Thank you Lord god for opening my eyes to see your righteousness and raising me from my sin to new life in You. Without you, I would be blind and bowed down by sin. But your love changed my life from the ground up. On my own I am never righteous. Certainly You could never love me for my deeds Yet in Your generous, gracious love, You cared for me, even when I ignored You. Help me to love others as you have loved me. I want to be part of your mission to open blind eyes and raise bowed down hearts.
