Love of God


"God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."


The Love of God is Awesome!!! His Love is much greater than you will ever be able to fully comprehend during your physical existence. Once you begin to understand the reality of the Love of God, you will never cease to be amazed at how much greater his love is than you thought you understood it to be. The love of Jesus can be compared to an ocean which has no boundaries, which contains an immeasurable amount of water. The love shown by the God almighty to the human being is greater than the love of a mother to her child.

There is no reason why one part of mankind should be loved, more than another part. As we know, this love was not shown to a group of saints who lived in the earth, or to a group of people based on their character or based on their services; but it was shown to a world of sinners. God loved men as a race, as sinners, the enemies of God. There was no reason why a part of the race of sinners should be loved. There was nothing in the character of the human race that could allow God to love them, or take any delight in their character. This is the only love, a universal love, which could have been exercised towards man by a good being.

The love which God actually did manifest was the only kind of love that could have been important to man. If the love of God had mere emotion, or pity, it would have done man no good. But there was some good reason for this love of God--something which his own understanding and conscience sanctioned. There was something about men which rendered it reasonable for God to love them, with a certain kind of love. The reason why God loved men was not because they deserved that he should do them good. Observe, there was a good reason why he should love them, but they had no right to demand his love as a matter of justice, for they had forfeited all claim to his affection or protection; and therefore, of course, justice did not demand that God should do them good.

But let me say once more, the soul of man was so valuable, its happiness would be so infinitely important, and its misery so great an evil, that God, looking at the intrinsic value of their souls, saw good reason for loving them and doing them good--that is, God did the good for the sake of the good itself; he willed good to them for the sake of the intrinsic and infinite value of this good to them considered in itself, and not because they at all deserved it. There was good reason for this, not in view of the actions of mankind, but in consideration of the value of their souls.

 The sinners mistake the nature of God's love, and so they try to make themselves happy. They always think that they must do something to deserve his love. The sinner never will believe that God loves him as a sinner. But let me tell you sinner that this is all wrong; you can never deserve God's love in the sense in which you hope to possess it--and if you seek to deserve it thus you will never be saved. But remember that Christ died for you! Just as you are in your sins God loves you, and for you just in that state he gave his Son to die for you. This is what you must believe

God came to this earth in human form, he came to serve us. He taught us, he loved us, at one point he even washed his disciples feet. He died for us to show how much he loves us, because he wants to be in a relationship with us. That`s who he is. He doesn`t stay in up there in an air-conditioned heaven; he came down here to serve us so we could know him, so we could be in relationship with him. That`s what he wants. No matter how contagious we are, and we all have the disease called sin, no matter how rich or poor, bad or good, sinful or sinless, anything that we might be, that`s who Jesus is.

Yes,God is a Loving God, Who showers blessings upon those who love and serve HIM. And even these, God will not hesitate to spank to correct then to walk in the way that He wants.
