The love that God has for His people is amazing. The love of our Lord is beyond any love that people can hope for or imagine. Let us examine three modifiers that describe the love of God today.
Character Love
God loves because it is in His character and person to love. John teaches Christians that God is love in 1 John 4:4. The Lord’s love is based on His unchanging, unfailing character. The Love He has is great and marvelous.
Calvary Love
The greatest expression of God’s love is found when Jesus suffers and dies upon the cross.
In Romans 5:8, Paul tells us But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.The Savior gave His life for us out of His great love for lost men and women. And no greater love can be known than the sacrificial love of Christ upon the cross. (John 15:13)
Covenant Love
Christians can trust in God’s unyielding love for a very important reason—God has promised His love through the New Covenant of faith. Believers are adopted into the family of God forever through the saving power of Jesus blood. (Galatians 4:5) Ultimately, nothing can separate the Christian from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:37-39) Our God is a covenant keeping God of love. Praise to His glorious name.
Be blessed my friends. God loves you!
