as pure as God’s holiness glistens, there comes
to our ears the word that the majesty of His love
was moved for us, and the Lamb was slain from
the foundation of the world.
It was love that enabled Jesus Christ to become
poor, that we through His poverty might be
made rich. It was love, divine love, that made
Him endure the cross, despising its shame. It
was love that made Him endure the contradicting accusations of sinners against Himself, that
restrained Him when He was falsely accused of
blasphemy and was led to Golgotha to die with
common thieves.
It was nothing but love that kept Him from calling 12 legions of angels to come to His defense.
It was love that caused Him, after every known
torture devised by degenerate man had been
heaped upon Him, to lift His voice and pray:
love.
When we preach justice, it is justice tempered
with love. When we preach righteousness, it is
righteousness founded on love. When we preach
atonement, it is atonement planned by love,
provided by love, given by love, finished by love,
necessitated because of love. When we preach
the resurrection of Christ, we are preaching the
miracle of love. When we preach the return of
Christ, we are preaching the fulfillment of love.
No matter what sin you have
committed, or how dirty, shameful or
terrible it may be, God loves you. You
may be at the very gate of hell itself.
But God loves you with eternal love.
Luke 23:34
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what
they do”.
Because He is a holy God, our sins have separated us from Him. But thanks be to God; because
of His love there is a way of salvation, a way back
to Him through Jesus Christ, His Son.
From Genesis to Revelation, from Earth’s greatest tragedy to Earth’s greatest triumph, the dramatic story of men and women’s lowest depths
and God’s highest heights can be couched in 25
beautiful words:
This love of God is immeasurable, unmistakable
and unending. It reaches to wherever a person is.
But it can be rejected. God will not force Himself
upon any person against his or her will.
John 3:16
“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”.
Many people misunderstand God’s love. “God is
love” does not mean that everything is sweet,
beautiful and happy, and that God’s love could
not possibly allow punishment for sin.
God’s holiness demands that all sin be punished,
but God’s love provided a plan of redemption
and salvation for sinful men and women. God’s
love provided the cross of Jesus Christ by which
we can have forgiveness and cleansing.
Who can describe or measure the love of God?
The Bible is a revelation of the fact that God is
You can hear a message about the love of God
and say: “No, I will not have it,” and God will let
you go on without His love. But if you really want
it, you must believe—you must receive the love
of God, you must take
