Ref. DLG 25 : God's Love

 '' Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. '' 1 John 3:1

God's love is the radiant ,passionate,and compassionate affection God has  for the people of this world . The love That God has for his children and the people of this world .The love that God has for his creation is boundless love that supersedes all other love .God's love is totally unconditional and extremely compassionate .

This love is what makes us the children of God , although by our deeds , we might have been reprobates .This love of God is what credits the sinner with the righteous account of Christ .''For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.'' 2 Corinthians 5:21 God's love is a demonstrative love , a love that is revealed by deeds and not just words .God's love for us is practical because God does things for us to show that he loves us dearly .

''But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.'' Romans 5:8 God's love is unseen in the death of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ .The crucifixion of Christ is a strong display of God's love for humanity .Jesus suffered all our sufferings because of our sins and he died all our death , because of the same sin. The love of God is the mercies that God have toward us even though we are sinners .

'' For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. '' Romans 9:15 The love of overlooks our frailties , flaws , failures , and mistakes .The love of God helps us to understand God better and God reaches out to us more because of his love for humanity .

That love of God is also demonstrated in the way God speaks us often through his ministers . The number of sermons, messages , preaching, that we hear are all showing that God loves us so much and he wants us to know him better , so we can serve him better , It is our responsibility to also love God the same way he loved us as children of God by obeying his commandments .

God's love is for every human being on earth , that is the reason every soul is given the opportunity to hear the word of God , before the end comes . ''And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.''  Matthew 24:14

Prayer 

Lord I thank you for loving me ,and saving me I receive your word into my heart so I can obey your word in Jesus , name . Amen
