God is Love

Our Heavenly Father doesn’t want anyone in this world to perish.  He wants His children to live eternally with Him.  This is His reason for creating each and every one of us!

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes would not perish, but have everlasting life.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
God loves you!  I can’t explain His love!  I just can’t do it.  But one thing I know, you can experience this most wonderful love.   Romans 10:13 says “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  God demonstrated this love by sending his son Jesus to die on a cross.  Jesus bore all our sins upon himself.  His death and resurrection paid a debt we can never pay ourselves.  By asking for forgiveness and accepting Jesus into our hearts we become a child of God.  Jesus’ shed blood on Calvary cleanses us and gives us new and eternal life.  Once we give our lives to God,  no longer is there a need to fear this life, because it will pass.  When we leave this world we can have an assurance that the next face we’ll see will be Jesus! This is how much God loves you!
Psalm 108:11  As high as the sky is above the earth,  so great is his love for those who honor him. 
What an awesome promise from our Heavenly Father.  I don’t know about you, but I can’t begin to tell you how high the sky is from the earth.  That’s a lot of love!  When stating God is Love, you should understand this is His very nature!  His love is not really an attribute. For us humans we think of love as an emotion.  More times than not, we expect something in return for love we give.  But the unconditional love of God is so much more than that. God’s love is free, it’s not “caused”.  He loves us in spite of our sinful selves.  Our tiny minds cannot understand  the concept of God’s love for us.   It is an eternal love whereas God said in Jeremiah 31:3 – I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.  He loved us before the foundations of the world were set – Ephesians 1:4-5.  To God be the Glory!  How blessed are the children of God?  We love Him because He first loved us – 1 John 4:19.  
 He loves you! He loves you!  He loves you!
God’s love is a life-giving love.  A happy, fulfilling and peaceful life.
An eternal life with Jesus when you accept him into your heart!
 Now is the day of Salvation
