Tag: What the Bible says God’s love for man

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 – 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 – 4-9-18

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

As believers, we may sometimes go through seasons where we feel like we’re in a rut. No matter what we do, it all just feels like a routine, a ritual, a mechanical repetition of what we know how to do.

We may even start to doubt our faith, as we begin to lose touch with God and as His presence seems to wane.

When this happens, the first thing we need to understand is that God has not gone anywhere. He is always near. He is always right where we left Him.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

When we feel like this, it’s always something amiss on our end, not on His. It might be due to choices we’ve made. It might be due to things that have happened to us. It might be due to our lives being too busy. It might be due to many, many different things.

But there is one thing for sure, God never, ever leaves us. He is omnipotent, all powerful. He is omniscient, all-knowing. He is omnipresent, in all places at all times.

Our spiritual fatigue isn’t due to overworking our spirit. It’s due to undernourishment of our spirit. It’s due to lack of exercise for our spirit. It’s due to lack of knowledge in our spirit.

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

And, ultimately, it all comes down to one thing. We don’t fully understand or comprehend God’s love for us. If we did, we would never, ever struggle again in our walk with Him.

Once we begin to understand His love for us, really understand it, we will begin to fall so deeply in love with Him that nothing will be able to pry us away from Him. In fact, we will develop a longing to be closer to Him than we could ever imagine.

Our faith will grow. Our desire to pull closer and closer to Him will grow. And whatever doubts we have will slowly fade away.

If our spirit is hungry for Him, we need to feed it. But not with religion and tradition. We need to feed it with Him. His word. His presence. His joy. Giving Him thanks. And showing Him gratefulness for all that He has done for us.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-14

John 3:17 (NKJV) 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jesus, the Messiah.

He came to earth and walked among us. Immanuel, God with us, came not to condemn us, but to save us from our sin.

It is through His life, death and resurrection that God offers us freedom from sin and death.

It is through His life, death and resurrection that God builds a bridge to close the gap between sinful man and a holy God.

So as we celebrate His birth today, do so knowing that Jesus, the Christ, was the ultimate expression of love and forgiveness. No greater love was known before, nor has greater love existed since.

And on this Christmas day, we pray God’s peace and His mightiest blessings over you and your loved ones.

And may God’s joy fill your home.
