Tag: What the Bible says about God’s love for us

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-24

1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJV) 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ.

After being beaten and mocked, He finished it with being nailed to a cross.

After dying on the cross, they placed Him in a tomb. And on the 3rd day He rose!

With guards watching the tomb, the stone was rolled away, and Jesus left.

Later, Jesus met with the disciples and explained to them what had happened.

Can you imagine the look on their faces, knowing that Jesus had died on that cross, as He stood there right before their very own eyes? He was alive and speaking to them!

Luke 24:37-39 (NKJV) 37 They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost. 38 But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? 39 Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don’t have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

God loves us dearly, and He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from our sin and destruction.

We needed Jesus Christ’s precious blood to save each one of us. It was the only thing that was pure and holy; without spot or blemish.

When you feel that no one loves you, and you’re all alone, remember that the blood of Christ was shed for you. He knew you as He hung on that cross, even centuries before you were born.

He wants you to know today that He did it for you. To give you salvation and freedom from your sins; your heavy burdens and all the things that are trying to wear you down or take you out.

Cry out to Him today. Repent of your sins, and put your trust in Him, Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-13-24

Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This is one of the most profound statements in the entirety of the New Testament.

Why would I say that?

Because it is a statement that demonstrates and proves God’s love for even the vilest of sinners.

It does not matter what a person might have done; how black their past might be. God loves them.

That love was demonstrated by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross; the death that makes it possible for any human being to be forgiven and redeemed, made new in Christ.

And that love for them is what sets people free from the consequences of sin through forgiveness, upon simply asking and believing by faith that God is who He says He is, and that Jesus died for our sins.

That statement is also the proof that we have to offer those who might question whether God can really love the vilest of sinners.

We can offer our own testimonies of what God has done for us, but God’s word is the proverbial icing on the cake, proving in God’s own word His love for humanity as a whole, and the redemption available to each of us.

So, if you are ever having doubts about God’s love, or if you are having a conversation with someone who swears that God could never possibly love them, remember this verse. And offer it to those in doubt about God’s love.

It just may be what turns a heart toward God and brings them to redemption in Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-22

John 3:16 (NKJV) 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.

I often think of how much He loved this world; that for each one of us, He gave his only Son. Can we all agree together that God loved us tremendously?!

When you give up your most precious gift for those who don’t deserve it, what kind of love is this?

This is a love that is everlasting, sacrificial, free and unconditional. This is the highest form of love.

It is called Agape love! A love that, without God in us to show us, we cannot know or understand its power.

With this agape love, He took what He deeply loved, His most precious gift, Jesus Christ, and delivered Him up for us.

Romans 8:32 (NKJV) 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Love is where it all began and where it will all end. All this hate in the world will not win. All the evil that we are witnessing this day will not win.

God has already Won this battle.

His plan for victory has already occurred. And through His most precious gift to us all, His love will continue to shine bright and leave hate and evil in their rightful place; defeated!

Can we get an AMEN today, children of the Most High God? For we have already won! It’s love that wins every battle. We need to press forward in His “Agape love”.

1 Corinthians 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-21

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

I am so humbled today in reading this verse, knowing the love that our Father has bestowed on us.

This means that those who belong to Him, those who have put their faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, are called children of God.

It’s amazing that He went through all of this for us, and still many have not accepted it. So many have not even considered what He went through to offer us the opportunity to become His children.

When we have been provided with a way to become a child of God, who would reject such a blessing, such an honor, such an answer to all of our problems?

Don’t reject the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Receive the truth today. Repent of our sins and become a child of God this day.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-26-21

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

What does God think about us? Does He think about us the same way that He thought about Jeremiah?

I have heard people say to me when things were going wrong, “God is punishing us” for not doing certain things. They are distraught and scared because they messed up, and now they feel like they are doomed.

It’s true that God will chasten those He loves, so correction will come at times. We should expect this at times.

But God’s correction and chastening is done out of love and compassion.

He knows us well and He knows what will get our attention, to help us head down the right track.

We want you to remember today who our Father is and how He thinks of us even when we are down and out because of foolish moves we may have made.

He knows that it’s our fault most times. He knows we are not going to be perfect.

As we repent and keep trying to beat whatever it is that keeps knocking us back, He is fighting for us.

Exodus 14:14 (NKJV) 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

God does have good thoughts toward you, just like He did toward Jeremiah.

He does have a future and hope for you.

He will be there for you when you call on Him, in the name of His Son, Jesus. And when we go after Him with all our heart, we will find Him and His answers for us!

He loves you very much. He’s not hiding.

He is usually right where we left Him. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-20

Genesis 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

God is big. He is incredibly awesome in His power and might.

It’s safe to say that He is beyond human comprehension.

We can never truly fathom who He really is. Nor can we truly fathom the wonder of Him.

And in His incredible magnificence, He did something truly amazing; He created you and He created me.

Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

This is an incredible miracle!

Despite being God above all things, He made us and wants to walk with us!

We are the work of God’s own hands. And it’s important that we never lose sight of this, since it shows us His heart, and the fact that we are incredibly important to Him.

During those times when we may feel down or without hope, it’s important that we remember Him, the Giver of hope.

When we feel unloved, remember that He is love in its purest form.

And when we feel lost, He is always there to guide our steps.

He treasures us above all else. Remember that. And never lose sight of it, no matter what you face in your life.

Psalm 139:13-14 (NLT) 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-20

1 John 4:18 (NKJV) 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

There is a lot to learn from this verse.

Most of us can easily understand and comprehend why there should be no fear in love. Love is, after all, not something that conjures up images of fear.

When we love someone, and someone loves us, there should be no fear associated with that relationship. Neither of the two people in that relationship should fear each other. If there is fear, then the relationship is broken and in need of repair.

This scripture, though, goes much deeper than emotional love between two people. It is really referring to the love of God, and our love toward Him.

You see, when we love God, we should not live our lives in fear of Him. Yes, we need to have a reverent fear of Him, but we should not be afraid of His judgement.

Why? Because perfect love, His love, casts out all fear. When we walk in His love, we begin to get an understanding that causes fear to no longer have control over us. It no longer causes us to be apprehensive or anxious.

And this can apply to much more than just the judgement of God. Once we are walking in the perfect love of God, our fear of other things will also begin to melt away.

We will no longer fear things that we can’t control. We will no longer fear people and what they might think or say. And we will no longer fear death.

We can do this because we know that Jesus overcame all of these things, including death.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

So, don’t live in fear. Not fear of man, fear of judgement, fear of death or fear of things that are out of our control.

God is faithful, and He is way bigger than the things that usually scare us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-12-19

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Are we looking for love in the wrong places?

Look to God first. His love will satisfy our every need. He is the One that knows how to love us best. He has loved us right from the beginning!

He is so passionate about us. He wants all of us, not just a part of us.

He knows how to handle us without breaking us. His perfect touch on our hearts brings correction and keeps us in our place. He will never leave us, even if He is not happy with us at times.

What else could we want? Learn to love God first and then our heart will be ready to love others.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-19-18

Psalm 139:10 (NKJV) 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.

You are the apple of His eye.

You are doing a wonderful job, even if you don’t think you are. You are moving forward each day, as you decide to get up and try again.

You are pleasing to your Heavenly Father as you continue to move on, even when things aren’t going so well.

You are more than a conqueror through Him and you are His beautiful child.

Your continued love toward Him, your continued praise and thankful heart toward Him, for being the God that He is, brings a smile to His face and great JOY to His heart!

You are the reason that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ. He brought salvation to you, to help you in this life and when it’s time to go home.

He is Your best friend and Someone to walk closely with. He is that Someone to run to when life is hard. And to laugh with when He turns it all around and brings good out of it. He is that Someone to sing to when no one else is there to listen. He is there and loves you dearly.

Today, He is reaching for your hand. Grab hold of His. The touch of our Father is like no other.
